i've had a similar experience at e-town, which is one of the reasons why i refuse to even go there anymore unless it is a very special event. a bad day at atco is better than a good day at e-town.

ran this porsche on motor. supposedly had work done to it, he got me by about 1.5 carlenghts at the end of the track, but for some reason his time and mph didn't show up on the slip. i ran a 12.1 that pass so he probably ran somewhere around 11.7-11.9 i'd think.

You posted this at 2:52PM. Damn, you got home fast! Nice meeting you yesterday. The car sounds really good from behind while going down the track

I had a pretty good day down there yesterday. Ran a best of 12.53@111.34 with a 1.96 60'. I could have been in the 12.2-.3 range with a better launch. The car was hookin' pretty good. I think I stall converter will get that 4200lbs moving quicker. I was running my 300C SRT-8.

Tom I was there yesterday in the red Z, saw your SRT8 it was fast, do u have many mods done to it? , those things are impressive as hell running those times at 4200 lbs. Sorry i didnt get to talk to ya or see the tbyrne trailer was it there?

 

Sleeper what size converter are you running.Gotta take a look at your car and your set-up next time i see ya down there, your car runs awesome man. Thinking of putting a converter in and some mods to start running with you big guys.

 

th400, yank "3800" stall (more like a 4000 ). now a 3.42 gear but ran basically the same with a 2.73 gear.

it is a very simple setup. atco's scale said 3450lbs with me in it, no bottle, and no passenger seat (about 50lbs).

it needs a cam .

btw with the 4l60e i was running a tci ssf 3800 stall. ran about the same also, but the 4l60 proved unreliable for me. it launched a lot harder with the shorter first gear of the 4l60. feels like a dog out of the hole now. it went 10.9 with a 1.55 60' with the 4l60, now it goes 10.8 with a 1.65 60'... go figure...

 

yeah, im lucky that i live only 35 miles away from the best track on the east coast lol. i actually took my time getting home too.

how was the traffic going home?

Wow, the scales were open? They're almost NEVER open there, I think I saw them opened only once during a rental day like 3 years ago LOL.

 

where are the scales even at there???

 

By the motorcross track

 

marc i think the reason they were open was because they were doing chassis cert. and 9sec lisences.

actually i weighed the car during a day in feb. the scale is right after the booth where you pick up your timeslip, the screen telling you the weight is facing the opposite side of the car but somebody was there telling people what the cars weighed.

after you pick up your timeslip look to the left and there IS as scale there. i didn't even know it was there until i saw somebody else waiting in line to get weighed.
