OMG!! Don
Let me know when your going too hit the switch so I'm not near your car! We still have the Halloween bash comming up next weekend don't blow the motor yet.

 

LoL that's a big *** shot of N2O. Looking forward to seeing that.

I'm stoked, the weather is looking good for this. A little sun for the pavement and nice "turbo air" as George calls it.

 

Well Chris the Monroe boys are coming I know one of them just went for a ride and had smoke ROLLING off the tires at 75 MPH

 

Nice, good to do a pre-flight checkout. Was it red? I'm loaded up and ready, probably be there about 9.

 

I'm loaded up and ready to go. It's going to be fun seeing all you guys again. Ellis hope you get your single didgit tomorrow and it sounds like Don is loaded for Bear. We sould be there about 8:00am or sooner.

Bill

 

Damn you guys are lucky.. Have fun out there. Take some video.

 

I'll be there about 9:30 gotta get the bottle filled in Fedway

 

I am planning on heading out at 8am here. No reason to rush to a cold track I have done that before LOL!

So if things go well I should be slipping in PR around 9-9:30

BTW The only thing red was the "Good to Go" LED on the WBC

 

Gettin ready to head out. hopefully we can avoid the rain and get some heat on the track. Should be a fun day!!!

 

Well any news? I know someone out there has broadband

 

it was basically a bust for me 2 runs all day.

 

We got there at 10:15, 1st run @ 12:45, 2nd run @ 4:00. There must have been 250 cars out there. They waited till about 11:00 to run the 1st cars. For the most part it was a typical day at Pacific Raceways. My 1st pass was a respectable 11.77 @116 mph. Ran N20 on the 2nd pass but fell just short of my 1st 10 second pass. 11.11@123.86 mph, 1.58 60 ft. The n20 was coming on and off through the whole run. Guess I'll have to wait till next year.

 

What a waste! We spent good money at the track for not nearly any thing in return. If it had not been for good friends it would have been a total bust.

There were alot of PB's today but nothing of what most were looking for. The track was slick the first pass and so so the last with NOTHING in between LOL!

I will be sitting down and writing a leter to the owners of the track asking them how much worse it is going to get before they actually hire some one who knows how to run it.

 

+1

 

You know if at had not been for all the good people out there It would have been a crappy day

BTW A big Thanks to Arron for helping me out and Thor for the great jabs Thats what friends are for guys!

And I STILL did not the that damn Chute out the Back of the Monza!

 

Hopefully it'll be better next year. If they get the new track laid it will allow more dates with (hopefully) fewer groups on any given date. That should mean more runs.

 

I got one run, my first run, at 1:41pm. A long wait, but I got what I wanted!

60: 1.601
6.744@107.76
10.279@142.21

Afterwards, the staging lanes were backed WAY up and not moving. I didn't feel like getting in that line, so I sat it out. The guy pitted next to me said it took 3 hours to get his 2nd run. Someone in the bleachers put it well, today was "unproductive".

As for my run, it was the best ever and the launch was not even that good. Spun hard and tagged the rev limiter in 1st. The shifting is good again, and with more runs I could have shaved a couple tenths. Oh well, gotta save something for next year! I got a video I'll post up later.

It was good seeing everyone out there.

 

YEAH About that...

Looks like the Track may not get built because it would not meet NEW NHRA standards....

 

Figures. I know they were planning on putting a chicane(sp?) in the road course to allow for a full .5 mile braking zone. How much of a braking zone is the NEW standard?

 

Well the Currect Drag Strip has the shut down needed and easily modified to the new standards. The Planned one Did not from what I hear. Then again they started waving those plans How long ago? And have not even started on that part from what I could tell today.
