[Venimus03]

A few new mods....

HAHAHAHAHHAHA, I wish!






Anyways, lol.......Crowded day at the track today, there was around 400 cars so, went pretty slow and had some interesting events come up but all went well. Only got three runs in, one at 1pm, 3pm, then not till 7pm!! Car is still set up the same power wise. Still an unported eaton, upper only, 6spd, IRS. I had cut a few more pounds out of her, thats about it. Car weighed 3550 with me in it. Real quick story, we brought a grill to cook food and what not, burgers are on the grill, a fat fire starts, cut off the propane, fire is still going, then realize that the grill itself is literally on fire! hahaha. Good thing we had a 2 liter bottle of green tea to dump on it and put it out! Best part was, got the grill working again and was able to cook more food, lol. Pictures of the grill carnage is below, haha. Alright well here are my three passes.

First Pass (Car felt like it bogged on the launch a little)

60' - 1.624
330 - 4.710
1/8 - 7.274

So Richie, you could say you guys were "really smokin' at the track!" LOL

Congrats. Sounds like a great day, except for the waiting for track time.

 

[HURTNEM]

Congrats Richie!:beer: You're my hero big dawg:bowdown::rockon:

 

[04yellowcobra]

Nice run Richie!! Makes us unported guys look good haha!! Makes wonder what it would go with a solid and some better suspension! Was that on pump gas or race gas?

 

[951MystiCobra]

I had a blast yesterday. The grill fiasco was definitely just what we needed to break up the monotony of waiting in the pits.

I didn't get any personal bests like Richie or Cory buuuuttt I got a 12.49, 12.45 and 12.44 on my 3 passes (my best is a 12.42)... So at least I know I'm consistent with what I'm doing. I have a really good coach though. Richie's making sure I've got the proper form and everything! Just need to work on the "dumping" and I'll be power shifting before you know it! hahaha

Congrats Cory and Richie!! :beer:

Rich, can't see your pics, but was there a black 03/04 there with you on slicks and skinnies? I was driving home from PA yesterday and saw one on the side of I-95 around noonish.

 

[Boobinspector]

It was good seeing all you guys again. I did get a personal best as well, I am thinking there is more in it though.
60ft-1.853

 

[Boobinspector]

Here I messed that up.
60ft- 1.853
330'- 5.039
1/8 - 7.694
MPH- 94.65
1000- 9.928
1/4 - 11.829
MPH- 115.64
My mph seems to be staying pretty consistent so now I just need to keep working on the launch and my 60ft. There is also something to be desired from my shifting points.

 

[Snakesvt04]

Soooooo I can't see pictures from work (stupid Govt network) but while I was at lunch I looked at the pictures on my cell.... how cute that you took a picture of your car and mine.... awwwwwwww ;-)

 

[Venimus03]

Thanks everyone

Nice run Richie!! Makes us unported guys look good haha!! Makes wonder what it would go with a solid and some better suspension! Was that on pump gas or race gas?

If I could get it to hook a 1.50 that would be pretty sweet. The car had some 103 in it because last time I was at the track I needed some gas so it was still in there from the last time.

Thanks. Great job yesterday! Its very good being able to be consistent. Now we just need to work on getting those ET's lower :beer:

Hmmm, no not that I remember...
