DA was ~750 feet today (Great for TMP) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

This new clutch and DS combo is AWESOME <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I couldnt hook the ET Streets at all (Launching at 4500rpm I spun all the way through first gear LITERALLY till the shift light came on) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Here is the best timeslip of the day <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

60' 1.706 (spinning)
330 4.885
1/8: 7.519
mph: 94.95
1000: 9.766
1/4: 11.624
mph: 120.72

Backed it up with an 11.64 and 11.68 both at ~120mph and low 1.7 tire frying sixties

With a 1.5 sixty and better traction 11.3's should be attainable <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Also saw Wade from ARE run 8.97@154 mph OFF THE FOOTBRAKE! (Transbrake wasnt working properly) 8.7-8.8 off the brake for sure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Cheers,
Chris

Way to Go Chris <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> get that 60' down and you will be running low 11's for sure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

thanks man <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
It was the most fun I have had all year at the track. It is nice not having to worry about rear/driveshaft or clutch failure anymore hehe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Chris

 

Chris,

Will you go back to the track before the season is out?

 

Cool, Chris!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I take it you aren't missing the auto tranny? You seem to be real happy since switching back to the M6.

 

Not too bad Chris....Race weight on your car is 3395?
With alittle better air/hook----->11.20's@122 will be no problem...

I'm headin down to Atco next friday...
Wish me luck...

JS
Looking for a 11.DOH!!!!!!

 

Great times Chris!! The car has alot left with some 60' and a little better air. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Jason

 

Chris, why didn't you try launching at 4000rpm instead, so then it wouldn't spin as much?

 

Cool <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Are you coming to Cecil this year?

 

Congrats Chris. Nice runs man.

Thanks guys!

Definitely, I think I am going to go for the OSCA shootout on Oct 18th weekend (either Sat or Sunday) Track should be prepped very well. I might try my 28 inch Hoosier slicks there as well.

GeorgeC,
I think I have always been a gear rower at heart heheh <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

JS,
Realistically I think I can get down to around 11.30-11.35 at this raceweight with a 1.5 sixty in similar weather. I would love to go 11.20's but I am going to need a mineshaft DA day I think.
Raceweight yesterday was around 3425 (had a lot more gas in the car trying to get it to hook)
Good luck with your car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks Jason <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I never missed a gear yesterday and only tapped the rev limiter once when the car revved so fast from spinning (that was on my best pass 11.62) That clutch is the one of the BEST mods I have done to the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Patman
I was spinning if I launched at 3500rpm as well. The clutch just shocks the tires so hard. I figured I better stay fairly aggressive with the launch in case I DID hook for one good pass hehe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Cecil is in the works for the spring. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I would LOVE to run the car with the CECIL mod <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Tom the roofer,
Thanks Tom I cant wait to see you back to the track with your new combo!

Cheers,
Chris

Nice times. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The weather is getting better. Can't wait to get to the track after the Ocean City car cruise and show and test the new setup. What pinion angle are you running Chris? Congrats. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

Pinion angle is set at -2 degrees.

I hope to make it to Cecil for some shakedown runs in late November and again in December. If the weather is good I will make the trip several times to dial the new set up in. Then again a few time in the spring. Man I miss racing. <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

Awesome <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
That is a great time of year to dial it in too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Best of luck!

Chris, when are you going to TMP again? I was thinking of going on either Friday the 18th or Saturday the 19th. This is the J&P weekend, so I wanna beat some stock Mustangs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

I am planning on heading out that weekend as well. Not sure what day though. (I have a show that sat night so I would have to get back in early enough for setup/soundcheck etc.)
Cheers,
Chris

 

So maybe Friday night works best then Chris? I heard that it should hook very well even though it'll be a Friday night street night, since there will probably be quite a few Mustang guys doing test and tune with their sub 10 second cars. So I figure the cold nighttime air combined with a good hooking track should be a recipe for great ETs! I'm shooting for 13.7s with my (nearly) bone stock LT1! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

hmm I will clear it with the wife and get back to you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
The only thing I hate about Friday nights (besides the traffic) is waiting 2 hours to get a single pass in.

The weekend days are usually better for getting multiple passes in if you get there early and tech early.

I might go out real early on Saturday and get there around 9:00 and swap all the tires etc before the gates open. Then run straight to tech and then wait for the lanes to open <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Would you be interested in that?

Cheers,
Chris

Awesome Chris, glad to hear your car is coming around. I'm still glad you saw the light and went back to driving your car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
