Just got back from the track. Decent conditions, mid 40's. Ran a new best on the first pass, so I knew it could be a good night. The new clutch is working great, except its hard to slip it on the launch because it grabs so hard. The track ended up being pretty slippery. No weight reduction other than spare tire, and jack. My best pass of the night was:

60...2.205
330...6.028
1/8...9.131
mph...78.51
1/4...14.049
mph...101.07

My best mph was 101.27 mph.

I had one lauch that felt great, but I ended up missing 3rd gear pretty badly. I got the slip and it was a 2.16 60 ft time, 15.2 @ 96mph. I was pissed. My car seems like it is hard to get into gear when it gets hot. Anyways, I will hit 13's before any other mods or weight reduction. Thats my goal.

 

Very nice!!!!! Ohhhh so close, I wouldn't have been able to handle being so close to 13's. To run a 14.0 with a 2.2 60' is great. You must be picking up some mad top end. my 1/8 mile time on sunday was the same as yours but you ended up .2 faster. Maybe it is my clutch.

 

What was your 1000ft time?

 

You'll hit it.

Just wait until the weather is perfect.

Track conditions went downhill after about 9pm tonight.

 

I have slips from the left and right lanes and the 1000 ft doesn't show?

 

wonderful times dude your almost there

 

The 1000' lights have been down for a couple of years.

 

22 1/2 MPH in the final 1/8th is movin. Nice times . This past weekend I was up at Englishtown with my buddy Erik and got so close to getting his 02 Auto into the 13's running the best of 14.003@99. Good luck all it will take is that perfect launch and your there .

 

speaking of nice times, when are you going to the track?

 

possibly next weekend but not with the 02 its history

 

With.............what then?

 

awesome times! Once X-mas is over I should have some more mods coming in.

 

an OG 96 Max....back on topic now people

 

Did Matt teach you how to drive a stick yet?

 

 

Where are you going to? englishtown?

 

excellent ! where can i find your mods list ?

 

on my cardomain page, link in my sig.

 

No Rockingham in NC...I was at Englishtown visiting a friend and picking up the new car.

 

I was thinking about going back to the track and taking my seats and stuff out to make sure I hit a 13, but I don't know if thats even worth it. I would rather hit a 13 with full interior. thoughts?

 

Its all up too you, I don't mind it bc it takes 10 mins or so to gut the car so its no big deal. Im not one to jump someones case if they run a fast time gutted IMO you go to the track to run as fast as possible so why not?

 

If I was able to take out my passanger seat I would have

 

Yeah, when I go to the track, I'm goin for the fastest time I can achieve. If that means gutting the car, why not? It's all about the numbers anyways... Take the seats out, if all goes well, that will drop you into the 13's if everything else stays the same.
