Default OSW Tonight?

Is anyone else heading out to the track tonight? I've been waiting on some cool air and it has finally arrived. This will be the first time I ran my car in anything but 85+ degree temps. If anyone is there, stop and say Hi. I'll be in the Old Red LT1 camaro with Weld Wheels.

Later,
Mark

I saw your cars but you guys weren't anywhere around when I walked over. That's a beautiful TA that you have.

How did your cars run in the cool air? Mine loved it!

thank you! sorry we missed you! dang. Our cars did about the same. Still working on my launch, still bogging out of the hole or spinning out of the hole. my best was a 13.1 at 106. with a 2.0 60ft. my car for some reason is losing top end or something.

how did u do?

how did u do?

On my first pass, I spun to a 13.66 at 105.91 with a 2.2 60ft. Since I had no helmet they told me to hold it back or go home.

Second pass, I forgot to put it back in od after my burnout and launched in second. I ran over the rev limiter about 100' before the 1/8 mile. Still spun to a 2.0 60ft.

Third pass, I finally dead hooked and got a 1.700 60' and a 8.12 1/8 mile. I eased out of it after the 1/8 and coasted to a new personal best of 13.52. I feel like it would have been a solid twelve second pass if I could have stayed in it.

Thats cool man sorry we missed you. My best run was a 13.3 with a crappy 2.1 60'. Im screwing up my launch bad.. my A4 and M/T streets should be doin a bit better. Oh well, Im a track noob, what can I say. I just need some practice. I'll be out there more often.. Im hooked now.
