Those of you that follow us Cali folks exploits at LACR know what a challenge that track is. Especially on “slip-n-slide” night as Tetge so fondly puts it. On a whim I figured I try out my rebuilt tranny and new clutch. Wed night usually has a light crowd so I pretty much ran when I wanted to. To my surprise my tranny was holding me back more than I thought during my previous trip to the track. I first ran a 12.67, good but I know there’s more. Next a 12.600 better but there’s still more left in her. I had descent 60fts 1.8-1.9 but I figured I play it safe and let the car chill for a while. Tried it again 45 min later And viola new LACR personal best E/T @ mph for me: (See attached)
After these 4 consecutive runs I pulled a 12.63 with a 2.1 60ft so a 12.4 was possible IMO given the previous runs. The winds picked up though just before my last run and the blowing dirt on the track convinced me I was wasting my time with that pass So home I went. Over all, not bad I’d like to see better but I need to head to lower altitude. For you sea level guys That 12.532 = 12.129 & the 111.212 = 114.959 And if I can get some decent track prep look out Dean, and Tetge you’re clear for takeoff during my burnout :lol: :burnout:
