I'm thinking about going out for my 1st time of the season to make some passes before the weather starts getting too hot. Anyone else going out there 2morrow??

 

I won't be there tomorrow, but I will be there next Tuesday.

 

what do u guys think of the track prep over there. i have quite a bit of susp. work and ill be running et streets. I know it gets ***** packed there alot and i want to get in more than 3 runs but i want to make them all count. no screw ups.

any personal prep i should do or things i should be ready for??

 

There's a reason why records are set there every year. The track prep is great, especially on the slick only nights on Wednesdays.

I would make sure your pinion angle, shocks, tire pressure, etc are set to where they should be. That will limit the amount of passes and time it takes between runs. The staging lanes get quite packed fairly early.

 

I would also like to make it there by next Tuesday. I have to get a coolant overflow can Matt: How long of studs do I have to order to be able to run my draglites at Route 66?

 

Wheel studs need to be long enuff to protrude thru the wheel itself.Should be fine with the stock length,unless youre running spacers.

 

I cutt a 1.29 60ft there. Prep is O.K

 

I probably won't make it out till next tuesday.

BTW track prep is great, Route 66 has claimed 2 of my 10 bolts . I've since learned my lesson.

 

^^^Hey man I think iv met you at the track and I saw you drivin the Trailblazer SS sunday.........

 

Yeah, that was probably me, 159th and Oak Park right? Your car sounded good, I was waiting for you to get on it. lol

 

no one ever meets me at 159th and oak park

 

We'll up with you just so you don't feel left out.

 

sweet, let me know i'll be the one who can't honk his horn since it mysteriously doesn't work anymore

 

I will be there this tuesday, any advise on how to launch my m6? I would really appreciate it! thanks

 

If you have a 10 bolt, I would suggest slipping it off of the line. A 10 bolt can't handle many hard launches, ask me how I know. You just may have to let it cool for a little while between runs. But with Route 66 that usually isn't a problem

 

How do you know
yea stocker 10 in there!!!

 

2 10 bolts later and I now have a moser 9", much gooder.

With slipping the clutch you'll just end up heating it up a bit. If you hot lap it, you may have issues with it slipping.

 

Hmmmm, I went 10.85 @ 126 with a stock 10 bolt, consistently. But I had a big stalled auto. Never had to worry about slipping the clutch or launching too high. Just stall up to 3500, and flash the rest of the way.

 

Pulled some 1.45 -1.48 60fts last night on a 10 bolt,dont see what the problem is Got a 12 bolt going in real soon though dont want a suprise at the track one day.
