Blazin, Nice runs man. Those are really good times for the mods.

JL, did you race in the slick class? How did she run?

 

Awesome for your first time at the track. You had me for about 4 sec of that 12.8 run. Out 60'd me. Tammy got some good shots of that race. One of us side by side.

 

well have to post them up or something later i wanna get some more next time

 

She took them with the 35mm camera with fast exposure film, Not the digital. I'll show them to you soon. I'm on call all week until tuesday.

 

yea. thats when i was plannin on goin back up.. maybe ill hit up a street night in between.. to quench my need for speed but im def. gonna be up there on one of those 2 days.

 

sweet atleast we wont be the only ones there

 

yea.. i got a small group of friends most likely headin up also.. a z3, a couple srt4's.. an sti, and possibly a truck.. so be on the look out.

 

Brandon, You need to talk the C6 Kid into going. I heard Mike Woods was @ the track the same day we were with his vette?

 

I wouldn't call it racing LOL.. I think I broke out the first round by over half a second heh heh. We had planned on leaving early because Sean needed to be home a little early... which didnt' end up happening after a stop off at the noyzee camp... but anyway.

Car ran 11.06 @ 123.23. 60 foot wasn't all that great, was a 1.606, I think leaving off the converter (stalls at 6200 on the brake) was too much for the tire/track/suspension setup... I wanted to get to a rental Friday at LVD but it doesn't look good right now for that. The gain from the 1/8th (7.097@98.95) was pretty good, so it's making good steam. I get teh 60 foot down to 1.4x like it should be and it will run a good #.. I was hoping for 10.99 or better... it didn't get there, but it was damn close and with a 60 foot like it did I know the car can do it with some more tweaking. Raceweight was 3620 too, so the car's not light by any means.

 

as far as i know he wasnt there but he might go the weekend we go up, he was in nh but not at the track he was in hampton beach

 

JL were you in the left lane by chance ? if so that lane got oil slicked 4times in the afternoon what were your hals set at?

 

For the one full run, yes I was in the left lane. It was funny, we watched toyko drift on the way up on the dvd in the truck.... and they were busting my ***** that I didn't need to drift the car down the track LOL.

Front shocks were set at 3, left rear at 3, right rear at 4. If I get to the track this weekend, I'm gonna try setting hte fronts at 2 and both rears at 5, try that and launch the car a little softer to start, gonna try about 4500 to 5000 instead of off the converter at 6200... see what that gets me. The more I think about it, the more it seems like the car's just overpowering the tires at the line.

 

jl i had mine set at 3 in the front ,5 drivers rear and 12 pass rear as you can see it still stuffed the right rear tire. yours did look alot less twisted though .

after ya look at the video youll probbly see what direction to go in

 

You had that right rear really cranked up, you have any aftermarket swaybar on your car? I have a spohn 1 inch solid chromoly bar in mine.. but I think over the winter it's gonna come off and a wolfe drag bar, or a MRC rear drag bar setup will be going on, so i can actually load the suspension without binding the rear up with the poly end links.

I'm hoping I get the video tonite so I can see what it was doing, and get some idea what to do with it. if I don't, then I'm gonna put the fronts at 2 and both rears at 5 and start there. I'd almost bet that just launching the car at 4500 and then getting on teh rest of it quickly, not stabbing it will probably work... but until I try it, it's nothing more then a guess.

Of course, a 30x10 tire, a set of 4.56's and lowering the car back to proper ride height would probably do wonders too.. but I'm not ready to take that route yet.. I spent enough $ this year on it LOL.

 

nope stock sway bar , bmr,sphoon,wolfe drag bar will be going in soon though

 

Makes sense the way you run the shocks now.

I'd get a wolfe bar and be done with it. Every car I know of that has that bar on it works real good... most likly what will go on my car as well over the off season. The heavy stock style spohn one I have works good for a street/strip car, but for a more drag effort car, not the best choice.

 

if you want to spend a little extra $$ i highly suggest miller race cars rear sway bar. Its on Millers 8 second camaro (the one on pinks) my dads car, and is going on mine next week. It keeps the car square as can be when launching.
I think its like $400

 

congratulations those are some pretty good times!
