How did everyone do @ 41 today
Just wondering how everyone did today at 41. In case you didnt know I was the lonely Formula picked up at Lincoln Oasis. I'm also the same idiot that tried to do a burnout with the TCS on!
Anyway here are my times much better than expected and not bad for a lid and catback only w/ 273 gears.
My best pass
Reaction - 1.1
60ft - 2.090
1/8th mile et - 8.756
1/8th miles mph - 82.86
1/4 et -13.518
1/4 mph - 103.24
I think I could have gotten into 13.2 - .3 but my tires were absoloutely melting and I kind of need them .
But I gues not too bad for my first time , how did everyone else do ? better worse expected?

my times were...eh ok, i spose, for a stock clutch and street tires, i fried the clutch on every launch, and every time i hit second the tires broke loose for a second or so,after 3 runs i decided to keep whatever is left of my clutch to make it home o.o
best run was 14.5@101mph with a 1.5 second reaction, second best was a 14.75@102mph with a .85 reaction, and the third run was my first and doesnt count :p
still had fun tho, by next year il be ready with a good clutch, and drag radials
and if memory suits me, its Morocco, NHRAFormy

well you would have laughed your *** off watching my first run doing a burnout with the traction control on then messing up the staging and going anyway. I felt like a fool but I'm sure everyone has track horror stories.
Cephiros were you the second to last person in the caravan? I think I was right behind you, if so your car is beautiful! But I think I am addicted to the track now, I may have to scrap alot of my other plans for performance parts and some tires that wont melt to pencil erasers after 6 passes
I know I saw BAD S Z28 and OctanZ28s car but couldnt find them to say hello
Also I ran against #72 with an ls1tech sticker on the window? Who is that that is a nice z28

hehe
and yes, that was me right in front of you, thanks for the complement
as for the ls1tech stickers, i saw a handfull of cars with them......all in the same exact spot, ironically
and is morocco like the town that time forgot or is it jsut me?
i went to find some fast food and nowhere inthe town was *anything* modern, the most modern place i found was a semi run down moble station a mile or so from the track..i ended up getting some snacks there.
i plan on going to the track around here for test once ones i get a new clutch in and drag radials, i should be breaking 12's right now...just barely, but still, gm clutches suck *****

Getting video taped for the internet in front of a cround while attempting a burnout with TCS ON = PRICELESS. That was the only and last time I was going to let that happen to me. I bought the SLP deal that turns the TCS off when you start the car up, so you do not have to remember to turn it off. Great investment.

WOW what a great turnout! 101 cars!!
I didn't set a new best, but posted 6 runs of 12.1 @ 110, so I was still having fun out there!
For those that ran the shootout, I was the one by the staging lanes sending people out and trying to organize the classes and cars and generally looking like I had no idea what the hell I was doing lol.
Nice to see alot of great cars and some fast numbers on the board today, was a great time!
Thanks to all who attended, we hope you all enjoyed yourselves!
MIM 7 in 2006 could be very interesting! Stay tuned
