Title: Went to the track 8-17
Post by: turbo83coupe on August 18, 2007, 02:15:13 AM
I went to the track tonight in hopes of a 13.99. I did not get the 13.99, but I did get a 13.72@97.2!! and yes it is still on green top injectors!! :D :D The 60' was 1.84, and I launched it at who knows what. All I know is, there is a 5200 pill in the shift light and I left with the light on :hick:  I need to put all this other stuff on it now :D :punchballs:  and I also need to get this slip scanned!!

Okay, get ready for it, IT's NOT still Slow now :D :D :D

13.90's x 2 out of the box, that .72, and I guarentee the last pass was the best of them all based on 60' and MPH, but the driver error blew that one ;) Oh well.

I have some pics and cideo I will get uploaded later.

Congrats 13 second Frank :D You know, that NOT so funny now that you are running real ties, it had much more luster when you were struggling to get a 16, then later a 15 ;) Get ready for the major tune up to 12 second Frank.

Video, but for some reason Webshots cuts it off before it finishes?? I will need to look into that, it was fine, on my PC, but got grainy and cut off over there.

Oh well, it was a good night. Also our buddy Jan was there with his 2.3 Ford powered Celica (13.20's at 101 mph), small video of it too...

I assume based on that you can see the rest of the video? For some reason it stops for me right before the launch? hmmmmm

Anywho, its got a ways to go to pick up the wheels, but yeah, its leaving hard (thats where ET lives ;)

Random video, here is my Capri on a 12.38 pass on a 12.40 dial. THATS leaving hard :D I knew the car was going to break out on this pass by how far ahead I was, and couldnt lift becasue I knew it would be a new best ET for me :D

Nice work!

The car you raced pulled a 17-second 1/4 mile? What was it?

Yeah, that was a semi-final, and I broke out with a 12.38 on a 12.40 dial, I think he runs 14.70 ish or so. Thats one of the supercharged deals they had. He is a pretty good racer, In fact he beat me tonight in the semi's (in his Camaro).
