Went to the 60-130 competition yesterday. Lots of fun!
Went to Lonestar Raceway yesterday I had a great time seeing Bob and Peter laydown some amazing runs I think Bob did a 4.2 on one of them WOW! My first run was just to feel out how it went ETC... I ran a 5.7 witch is pretty good IMO. I was having some issues, but I know it has more in it for sure. The second run was going well until @90-100 MPH when the clutch started slipping, but I still managed another 5.7 lol! Third and final run was going real well again when the clutch slipped a little sooner I assume from getting hot the second pass and so I let out so no results. I saw Tiago and Patrick (LINX) out there Tiagos car is just a BEAST! I talked to and met a lot of nice guys it was a blast. I want to thank Tiago and Patrick for helping me fix my car (Busted coolant line) I made it home with out any issues so it was a good day really. Atleast this confirms my gut feeling that the clutch was slipping as it is real hard to tell on the street because of the tires spinning so much etc... I liked the competition a lot as it didn't seem so hard on the cars like drag racing is and thanks to Peter for putting on this event hope to go again on the next one.

Here are the results Peter posted on HPD.
OK, here is my official update on the days events. First of all, thanks to the 16 cars that came out to run. The weather was beautiful (78 degrees) and the day could not have turned out any better (well for me it could have being that I stripped and broke off two of my lug nuts when I got home). Anyhow, on to the data:
Bob Helms Supra - 88mm turbo, 30 psi, no NOS, TH400, ET Drags - 4.15 (he had another 4.18 and a few 4.4's)
Peter Blach Supra - 78mm turbo, 32 psi, no NOS, 6-speed, Drag Radials - 4.72 I think the car has a 4.2-4.4 in it at full boost on a good day, but that remains to be seen.
Jeff Williams - 1999 Camaro (408 ci s/c) - 5.7 - sadly we did not pull the data from his runs as he was improving throughout the day and his clutch let go before we were able to pull the data. VERY FAST car...
Sean Reed - 996 GT2 - 600+rwhp - 6-speed - 6.69 Sean's other run was a 6.71.
Garrett Oliphant - C5 Z06 - Stroker + S/C - 6.8 - Garrett ran a 5.9 at TX2K7 and the ONLY run he put the VBOX in his car in, he spun and had to peddle it several times (I witnessed this) and the next pass he didn't put the VBOX in his car, I guarantee you it was a 5.xx. In any event, no official time was downloaded to the computer.
Anthony Waller - 2001 996 TT (670 HP) - automatic - 6.8 - again, the darn VBOX messed up during the transfer from the unit to the computer and therefore I was not able to capture all the detail of the run, I did however see his time displayed and it was in fact a 6.8
Eugene Lou (eclou) - 2007 997TT - 6-speed - 7.73 - very impressive street car, great driving, glad you came out Jean!!!!
Paul Sydness - 2004 Suburu STi - 6-speed - 8.02 - GREAT time considering he had to go through 3rd, 4th and 5th gear! Great guy, impressive car (ran 180 mph at the TX Mile) and I look forward to seeing him and his friends at our events more often!
Nick Shootridge - 2003 Mustang COBRA - 6-speed - 8.3 - thanks for coming out Nick! We did not download his data unfortunately...
Randy - 2002 ZO6 - 6-speed - 8.2 - too bad you couldn't get the NOS working Randy, your car would been a sub-8seconder... See you next time!
Cliff McWilliams - 2008 GT500 Shelby Cobra - 6-speed - 10.2 - Cliff, you gave us some good scares today! Glad all worked out and your car ran so well! Hope to see you next time...
Mark Campbell - 2006 C6 - 6-speed - 11.53 - great job today Mark, get that gearing issue fixed and you will be sub 11's all day long!
Doug Hirsch - 2007 997TT - stock 6-speed - 12.2 - thanks for coming out Doug! Your car was beautiful, hope to see you next time as well...
Other notables include Jack Salvaggio who had a beautiful 06 Z06...this would have a been a 5.xx car but his tires were wayyyyyyyyyyyy to worn out to hook anything. Get some new tires Jack and come back out next time. We also had Tiago Salles in an amazing TT T/A that made over 1,000 rwhp. Imagine trying to hook 1,000+ rwhp on 18 inch drag radials! It does NOT work as was evidenced by his LANE CHANGING maneuver! The best I have on record for Tiago today was 6.9. And last but not least the "hard core racer/warrior/battleman" award goes to Bryan Powell who drove his beautiful 2007 M Roadster down the track about 100 times trying to get to 130 and was soooo close at 128.4, but there just wasn't enough room to safely hit 130.
I have sent all the files I have to Scott (Divvex) to verify the times. Thanks again for coming out all and if you have pics, please send them to me or post them!!!!!!!

Good to see you both out there rep'ing the LS1 crew! Thanks for coming out guys. I will post the graph results here as well.

Thanks SOOOO much to KPG for spending the time to analyze the data. Here is the email I received from him today:
Peter, all the runs looked great. No dropouts or other errors. The dragstrip
was relatively flat though it still has a slight slope to it but still
better than my local strip. Everyone has their own folder with their data in 1 mph
increments and a graph of the best run. I graphed Bob, yourself, Jitsu and
Jean on 1 page to give you a relative idea of how the cars compare. You and
Bob are scary fast, but scary in a real good way. Here is the distances and
how far behind everyone would be compared to Bob if you all did a 60-130 roll
on together.
Bob 0
Peter 67ft behind
Sean 384 ft behind
Jean 518ft behind
Paul 558ft behind
Mark 1102 ft behind
Here are the best times
Bob 4.15
Peter 4.72
Sean 6.70
Jean 7.73
Paul 8.02
Mark 11.53
BOB (Supra - 4.15)
PETER (Supra - 4.72)
SEAN (996 GT2 - 6.69)
JEAN (997TT - 7.73)
Paul (STi - 8.02)
MARK (06 C6 - 11.53)
BOB vs. PETER vs. SEAN vs. JEAN
If any of you would like the 1mph increment detail please email me at pblach@att.net
Thanks again KPG, you rock!

Thanks Patrick!
Joe, I worked til 4 am to finish my little project and didn't think you would want to go, my bad next time I'll let you know so you can go although I posted I was going in the thread and never saw you post like you were interested, but I appologize for not giving you a ring.
Kevin,
I only messed with a couple of things, but still no extreme changes. Although I was busy trying to fix minor issues I was having such as one of the coolant lines busted etc...I will keep messing with it till I get the desired out come thanks for the help the other day. We need to get together again soon.
