Default Milan Tomorrow?

Anyone else going? I'm going to try and get there before 5 if I can, you can get a lot more runs in before everyone shows up. Want to see what she'll run with the cam Assuming I can get somewhat decent 60's. Post up if you are, I'll probably stay till later in the night and watch some people run.

I was the black one with ZR1's. I was parked in front of you in the lanes towards the middle of the night, assuming you were the black WS6 with tires on the back end.

My last run wasn't that good. Didn't seem as strong on the top end as it had been and only trapped 110. Best last night was a 12.93 @115. Previous best had been a 13.3 @107, so I improved a lot last night.

Thats a nice mph. What were you doing for sixty foot and to the 1/8th mile?

I managed a 12.74 @ 113.3 mph on street tires w/ stock clutch still in the car. Sixty foot was a 2.05 and 1/8th mile times were 8.35 @ 87.5mph

On that run I got a 60' of 2.22 and 1/8th were 8.56@87.2. I couldn't get better than 2.2's 60's. I was launching it at 2000 and slipping the clutch a bit. What did you try?

So, how busy was it Wednesday? I have heard it has been very slow with the high gas prices. A couple of weeks ago they said it was dead, hardly anyone there all night.

What size cam did you end up going with? Who did your program? What were your 1/8 times. You can use the 1/8 numbers to figure out if your car is falling off on the top end of the track.

Weds. wasn't bad at all. I had plenty of time to park the car between passes. The staging lanes seemed bare compared to how it was last year.

I still get there early, I was racing around 4:45. It got in 10 passes by 6:30, about then it was around 10-15 minutes between passes.

I'm running an F13 on a 112 LSA. Straightline tuned the car originally, but that was a mistake. I ended up having Black02SS on here tune the car, it was unbelievably better driving. I don't have my slips in front of me, but the 1/4 ET on the last run was what I had been running basically all night, but the MPH was 5 lower.
We've basically figured out that it's because I put the lower half of my SSRA system on. Even at idle the car is seeing more air then it was on the original tune, so it's having issues as it comes off throttle into idle.
