EFA vs MACA May24th Official Thread!!!

[SC427]

Nope, MIR is not new at all. They did just repave a lot of stuff and built completely new concessions/bathrooms.

Great time today guys. I got 23 runs in, even though I lost in the first round of both 12.50 index and brackets, but I definitely got my moneys worth. As Tim suggested, I should probably change my name to hotlapper... :burnout:

The bathrooms were unbelievable!

They were just as crappy 25 years ago as they were last year.
The new concession/bathroom are really nice.

Mints and candies on a table as you exited. ROTFALMAO
I got a real kick out of that.
They did have a bathroom attendant as well. He was cruisin' around on a golf cart.

ok so am i missing something? wheres the vid n pics at guys?

how bout posting up your times as well

 

[SC427]

I have some pics of guys cars but none of them on the track.
One vid with my dig camera but the quality sucks.

My best time was a 12.06 @ 120.42 mph with a 1.892 60 foot.

I only got three runs in and they kicked me off the track.:shrug:

I wanted to break into the 11's with my current set up but was not able to get enough runs in.

pictures later. I am going outside.:coolman:

 

[04azuremach]

12.27 @ 112.8 with a 1.87 60'. Left the bottle and slicks at home.

 

[GetBlown2k3]

12.1 @ 122 with a 2.09 60'

 

[sunburned]

SC427, why did they kick you out? I heard them call you back to tech, but for what??

My best of the day was a 12.48 @ 112 w/ a 1.78 60', but got my best mph ever at 114. Ran consistent 12.6's and 12.7's hotlapping all day long haha. Couldn't get my dad 60' down though.

 

[HURTNEM]

11.95 @122 w/a 1.90 60' First time EVER running on a track! :banana: Thank God I didn't burn my clutch all the way up trying to do a burnout LOL

Oh yeah, I won a 2nd place trophy and $75 also. Not bad for a rookie!!!

 

[2bscrewed]

I was in full strret trim and out of 5 attempts, I only made it into all the gears 1 time, and that was 11.1 @ 128 on a 1.73 60'. I need to figure out whether it's my adjustment, clutch, or tranny. I'm putting the firewall adjuster and quadrant on tomorrow.
i'll get my videos up tonight. I fell asleep before the kids last night! haha

Great job fellas!!! Be sure to send Antex a PM with your exact times & MPH's so that he can add you to the MACA 1/4 thread. :banana:

 

[wheelhopper]

Was just thinking this morning how nice it was that nobody broke a half shaft. Even though I brought a spare just in case.

I am guessing he got booted for not having an official roll bar for a vert. You got lucky Dale.

 

[FISHTAIL]

Yeah Dale, I was surprised they didn't get on you, esp considering the number of runs you made. The only thing I can think of that would be different would be trap speed...perhaps they were worried because he was running 120mph.

+1 on the no broken half shafts, I was a little surprised.

Thanx Dwight. I was just thinking all I need to do is shave a second off my time and we'll be even LOL. :burnout::lol:

 

[Venimus03]

Congrats again Rodney, great job for your first time out :beer:

 

[HURTNEM]

Thanx Richie and thanx for trying to help me out as well. I'm glad there were guys out there that didn't mind passing knowledge on and offering advice. I needed it, but not as much as I'll need to swap my clutch soon. I guess everyone forgot to mention that you have to have your foot COMPLETELY off the clutch if you're to be doing burnouts LOL

 

[booricua]

congratulation to all the participants . I should have been there but read the post too late. I would have loved to see this event. Carlos posted some videos lots of nice pases:beer:

I will get even once I get back to my baby on Friday night.:burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout::burnout:

:-D

No problem :beer:, might be easier to do a burnount in tennis shoes instead of those Tim's oke: :rolling:

That was it. THe guy at tech said his boss in the tower didn't like me just having a headbar ( as he called it) going that fast.
We run these cars at club track events and the Headbar works to protect the driver in a roll over. Oh well. I still had fun! :banana:

You're probably right. I should probably bring my own bucket of water too since the water box at MIR obviously has a hole in it! :bash: :rolling:

The rollbar rule for a convertible is 13.49 so you were actually lucky they let you run 3 times. You need a 6 point cage at that speed.
