Default So who all went to RRR new time for me

Well who all enjoyed sitting in the lanes all night waiting to run it sucked ball sack last night. Anyways ran a new best 11.79@112.73 (ok i can explain the low mph im a dumb *** and let off before the traps so it should be like 117 and maybe a little faster time)

How many runs did you get in?

I had a feeling that i would waste my time going with all the pinks racers trying to get in some runs before the event. From what im told it looks like half the people who signed up for pinks will not even be able to pass tech,lol.

You just can't expect to have a good time and get a lot of runs with all the Pinks' cars out. Why do you think we were watching?

I only got 2 passes in but it was worth it. The track was hooking like a ****! My car was yankin em but would bog hard after I got moving. 6000rpm clutch dumps and bogging? Not a problem I ever thought I'd have at RRR. FWIW, those outlaw guys are fun to watch but they should grow some ***** and hold it down all the way to end of the track. 1/8th mile racing is gay

I hope to run some new best 1/4 times this weekend but we gotta get the trans rebuilt. The tuning changes I made today really helped.... make some power to break it!

Hate I missed it even it would've been just a couple of runs.

LittleRedCamaro- what were your times and setup. I remember you saying H/C last we talked just wondering what exactly. Two runs IMO isn't enough to get a baseline on a new setup.

Terriable....no just LS6 heads and Vengenance Racing cam(similar to MS3)...and some other bolts on's. Street tires don't work very well!

Street tires FTL. If it makes you feel any better, mine has gone 12.9's spinning with a bad tranny/clutch and I couldn't break a 13.5 last saturday. Street tires spin too much with mine lol. 60ft showed that I was spinning badly. That and I've added some weight with the suspension stuff so it's going on a small diet at the moment.

Scott is right. Tires are way more important than gears. Hmmm, I have a complete set of Weld Pro Stars with skinnies and et streets for sale if anyones interested
