DoctorNick · 08-08-2005, 10:20 PM

Thinking about getting the car dialed in before the big shootout on the 20th.
I think GLD opens at 6pm.

Anyone interested?

BlackSnake. Sounds good. I'm gonna call tomorrow to make sure I won't get kicked out for a 12.99 or lower And to find out when is a good time to show up.

BlackSnake · 08-09-2005, 02:46 AM

Wait whats the rules with 12.9's and lower?

I plan on run low-mid 12's

DoctorNick · 08-09-2005, 11:03 AM

I think you need a helmet for 12.99 or below and a rollbar/cage for 11.99 or lower.

It's 13.99 for the helment, your correct with the roll cage at 11.99 and lower.

BrianH · 08-09-2005, 11:44 AM

HndaTch627 · 08-09-2005, 12:28 PM

DoctorNick · 08-09-2005, 05:27 PM

I'm gonna change, get some ice and water and go.(after I get some better directions). Look for a grey old subaru there...it will be me.

LIAR!

you said 13.1 @ 86

you can tell the truth. we won't laugh too hard!!

DoctorNick · 08-10-2005, 11:08 AM

I didn't do very well last night. It was my first time out with this setup and second time at the strip with a manual car. So I'm gonna use that as my excuse for the bad numbers.
60': 1.81
330': 5.301
1/8: 8.132
MPH: 86.40
1000: 10.675
1/4: 12.75
MPH: 110.27

I need to improve my 3-4 and 4-5 shift. I am thinking I need to shift out of 3rd a little earlier and not ride it to redline. I also need to leave the line at a higher RPM because 5-6k was just giving me enough to spin the fronts but at the same time I think I was on the clutch a little too long.

All and all, I had fun and killed a few cars last night

Gonna get some dried ice and try it all over again tonight I am thinking.
Btw: all runs were done with no-preping. No cool downs, no iceing.

Still slacking for a 31x WHP car.

dvang · 08-10-2005, 11:37 AM

how much is it nowadays at gld to run you vehicle

DoctorNick · 08-10-2005, 11:47 AM

I think it was 25 bucks iirc.

Still, great effort though! If you nail your launches and your shifts, you can easily do 12.0 on that MPH.

Yes... between you, Nick, and I... this will be interesting....

Redline8k · 08-10-2005, 11:05 PM

Its all in how far we are willing to go. Are you ready to blow it up to be fastest? We will see.

Great driving for the new setup..BTW.

DoctorNick · 08-10-2005, 11:16 PM

I know my car can be much faster. So I am gonna try to get another practice session in before the big day. I also wanna get some dry ice and see how that helps my temps. Who knows, I might see if I can rip this A/C condenser out of the car and maybe get a real fan for the radiator. I am sure the extra airflow would be welcomed on both sides.

Is there a distinct-able place I am slower on my run that you notice from the numbers? Or am I just overly slow?

I really need motor/trans mounts.

HndaTch627 · 08-11-2005, 03:15 AM

slower on the top end...and i think part of that is due to the mounts...clean shifts=teh win!

Was this on the Internal Gated Green? Jorge u sure 110 is good for 12.0? Maybe on an automatic? I had hit 12.1 @ 115 and 12.0 @119 last year. I know my driving sucks.....

I suspected it was my top end. While I have heard shifting at redline is the way to go, I think since I wasn't really tuned yet, I need to shift sooner in the RPMs.

I need to throw the dam utec in and get tuned before the 20th.
