I got to the track around 1 PM so I only got in 2 runs before the eliminations started, couldn't get used to launching much (it usually takes me a bunch of runs to get it).

Best trap speed was 104.97, which is the highest I ever got, and I think it's the highest 4th gen N/A trap. I also got in a bunch of 103's and 104's, even though it was quite hot outside and there was usually little time to cool down the car between runs, plus I have a small (and annoying) vacuum leak.

My two time trials were 14.02 and 14.03. Obviously, a nearly 105 mph trap speed indicates EASY 13's, but like I said, you gotta do a bunch of time trails, and get used to the track/car/conditions to get good times. After my 2 time trials eliminations started and I never got a clean run after that (you have to run 14.00 and up in street).

Still, the MPH clearly indicates that my timing is back (changed the knock sensor harness this week) to normal.

 

Nice traps mang.

 

Very nice!!!!!

 

very nice jclaw.

And mike nice ET

 

You try controlling 300+whp on street tires in a FWD car

 

Man i'm jelous!!! Gotta do somethin, quick!

 

Congrats, that's awesome

 

way to go man, thats pretty sweet

 

nice, get some slicks!

 

I sold them. Shoved the needle in the rev limiter, dumped it, and WHAM. Snapped the driver side axle clean in two. The run right before that my 60' was 1.77 ...somewhat hard on the axles. What I want to do next year is run some sort of drag radials all the time (street/track) and be consistant around 1.9xx. I'm gonna p*ssy away from slicks for a while.

But I still think I could pull off a mid 13, like 13.5, with real street tires. I already pulled a low 2.0 60 foot on these tires, I can shift fast on some runs, and the track is well preped once in a while. Now if only I could get all of that in one run.

 

this is unfortunate because now i will have to steal your # 3 spot on the na list and maybe ill even hit a 12.99 in a couple weeks .

I dont know though because my hub is bent and i dont know if that will slow me down

 

Why don't you do like the rest of us and hold your breath till next year? I'd rather take my time and go all-out next year instead. Getting the 3.5 swap and the entire exhaust system, rocker panels and some more body work done in the first year is enough for me. Next year; paint job, lowering, tires and tuning.

 

nope 12's or bust, this will be the lightest ive ever been and i will have the slicks on.
I want to give you guys something to think about this winter

and also i have a vias now

 

And I have zip ties that lower the front of my car.

Seriously though kris, you don't need much to get 12's, just go to a lower altitude, and lower your 60'. I'm not much of a driver, so if I can get 2.0's on crap bald all-season yokohamas you should be able to get a 1.9xx with DR's at a decent track.

Zip ties and a bunch of 2$ rubber studs might get you in the 12's

 

i'm guessing you got your low end back...come to englishtown, some people have had their personal best there..

 

Hmmmm, a couple of weeks huh?

 

Nice run man.

 

yes joe is going to meet me at my track , and it would be great for you to come to. I believe its sept 7 on a weds night . maybe you can get the details from joe.


and with englishtown i would like to try that one time this year if i dont get a 12 i prob will go down.

And with the vias the low end ive never felt from this 3.5 is there and iam keeping it now

 

nice! at what track you go JClaw?

 

Napierville, mostly. Going to Sanair next Saturday, along with Jime. It's a Quebec/Ontario event.

 

oh nice, i might go there before winter since my friend lives in montreal
