My 4DSC Apr 7, 2001 12:49 PM

Went to Etown this afternoon...
Only got 1 run in because they kicked me out....
(got kicked out cuz i had open exhaust...LOL)

Well...It's quite obvious now my exhaust was choking things up really bad...
I unbolted everything from the cat back...
and put a *dump* (so no muffler)...

Only run of the day (still running on 19" rims)...

R/T: .538 (pretty good)
60': 2.343 (horrible)
330': 6.178
1/8th: 9.285 @ 78.94 mph
1000': 11.954
1/4: 14.171 @ 101.18 mph (not bad)

The MPH shows that i should be running easy 13's....
But traction is still the problem...

NO SYNKI!! I WILL NOT PUT MY STOCK RIMS BACK ON! LOL

Sticking with the 19's until i get some slicks...
Should have slicks by the next event. ;)

The New CLIMAX Apr 7, 2001 12:55 PM

Good #'s Adam. too bad you got kicked out, I am waiting to see 13's :)

My 4DSC Apr 7, 2001 02:24 PM

oh yea forgot to mention...

i also ran Brett's Maxima (AKA: Confused)...
couldnt better his time...
I ran a 14.9 @ just under 95mph...in his car...
I think with some more seat time it could go 14.8...
But it wasnt a bad run for my 1st time in the car...

97MaxGurl Apr 7, 2001 02:46 PM

14.98--->14.3???
 
:laugh:
Should have taken off Brett's exhaust:bonk:

I too have trouble with traction at the start. What rim and tire combination do you plan to get before the next event? Thanks...

Confused Apr 7, 2001 07:03 PM

Adam got booted because they mistakenly
 
took him for an Am. muscle car.... only imports today. :laugh:

btw, my best run was .01 away from hitting the 8's. ARRGGGGG.

I think I'll be going with either a 24.5" or 26" slick...
mounted on a 15x7 or 15x8 if i can find a pair...
most likely i'll just be going w/ a pair of cheap ($80) Konig Burner's in 15x7 cuz they're pretty light (16 lbs) and i can get them real cheap...

Synki Apr 7, 2001 11:20 PM

:laugh: Adam, i knew that was coming. :) Well, since youa re at 101.18, you should be 13.9-13.8 We shall see what you can get with slicks. Hmm.. since Adam ran a 14.9 in Bretts car, does that mean it cant go faster? :gotme: hehehe. j/k Brett.

BTW, good job guys.

Hey Adam, how much can you get the Burners for 16"?

My 4DSC Apr 8, 2001 09:02 AM

i cant get Burners in 16"...
i beleive Konig doesnt even make them anymore...
the place im gettin them from only has 3 left in stock...
thats why im getting them so cheap...

Confused Apr 8, 2001 09:10 AM

KIDDING?
 
that was the whole point of the drill.

Re: Re: Re: Re: KIDDING?

Hey Adam, how much can you get the Burners for 16"?

remember, every 100 lbs less on the car is worth .1 seconds :D with Adam in the car, well, let's say Adam is about three times as big as me. hehe

Confused Apr 8, 2001 05:09 PM
