bring it out you know you wanna...

 

i have a question , will they let me race with my battery in the trunk and no cut off switch or battery box?

 

probably get a warning, but they will let you race

We are heading out with my dad's car, so we'll see some of you soon.

 

Can't wait for the results chrs1313!

 

anyone going to Byron?

As of 8 AM:

Air Temp: 51.1ºF
Barametric Pressure: 30.31
Relative Humidity: 63%
DA: +40'

 

Just got off the phone with Chris.. He is loading the car on the trailer

He says hopefully he will run 10.6 - 10.5

 

Its gonna rain dude.

 

Seems conservative! I know the DA isn't what it was for the 10.6 cam only run, but isn't the car making like 70rwhp more now?

 

When Chris made that 10.6 pass cam only that was with -870 DA

I think with the DA being a little higher as the day warms up, I think he will run a 10.4 - 10.5

 

update from Chris's G/F

10.4 @ 128

 

I saw that it was supposed to rain, so I didn't go.

Congrats to Chris on the new best!

 

took it easy today guys did wanna blow the trans...more just wanted to see what it would MPH...

and i did not trailer it drove it both ways 160 miles...with bbq grill and cooler in back...what do you want it is a mean grocery getter...

first pass left of idle to make sure everything was feeling okay, since the trans, rear and motor were out over winter...

1.55 60ft off idle
10.6 at 128mph

next pass stalled it up about 70%

1.40 at 10.44 at 128.5mph, 1/8 mile was 6.62 at 102.5mph

did another pass where i gave it 100% stall but it is hit the limiter on the 1-2 shift about 3-4 times... was shifting at 7300 and the limiter is at 7400 rpms...so i am going to have to bump those down about 200 rpms so it is shifting more at 7100, especially since it will be making more power when the cool air gets here...

60ft was 1.39
10.520 at 127.97mph

also i was 20lbs heavier than when i went 10.61 125mph cam only -850 da, like 38* outside...

left the passenger sear in 33lbs, my cat back on 33lbs, and never put in my 11 lb battery yet...another 19lbs saving...so i still have another 85lbs that can come out of the car...

DA for the best run was +750FT

with the same air my cam only times would have been a 10.9x...when it was 1300ft i ran 11.02, 11.03, 11.04, so over all about a .5 sec reduction in ET

 

couldnt ask for a nicer day, amazing prep and not many people...plus no broken parts that i know of

 

nice track, i like how they have you back into the water box. there was a nice selection of car's running too. we got a late start didn't get there until 2 left the house at 11 but def worth the trip.
