Congrats Bud
Its so cool to see the coyotes running so well across so many platforms!
Thanks man! The car has gone so far past my expectations it is ridiculous.
I connected with a lot of people this weekend, but didn't get to meet you. Congrats again.
oke: update your sig
The best racing weekend ever. :banana: To leave OKC, and come see so many pissed off coyotes was even better than the old Fun Ford weekend stuff. Had fun, will be back. Nice to meet everyone.
first round we ran a 9.81. Fighting the converter all weekend. It can only get to 4500 with no 2 step. we were trying 3500,4000, etc....
Elissa went a 10.44 I think first round.
.
LOL, funny, everyone thought that. Best pass had been a 9.81 in qualifying, 9.71 in a test run. the 9.71 was with a 1.71 60', I was in the 1.8s the rest of the weekend.
Richard was qualified 2nd I think with a 9.2. We went to BS with him before the semi finals. They mentioned they were putting the car on kill in the finals against urist's car and we hadn't even ran yet.
We decided to shut off the 2 step. IT's a 100rwhp and 80 ft/lb difference from 4000 to 4500. I figured if the converter isn't flashing, lets just try to start high.
When the tree came down, I could tell the car left much better. 1.51 60' and a 9.33 to Richards 9.27 I believe. My light was better though at a .046 to I believe a 1.54. If there was one round I needed to pull out it was that one.
In the finals, I couldn't get the converter to push past 3500 and it 1.7's again, and went a 9.7 to hellions 9.1. Next race will be a different story. We'll have the new converter in and be ready for hopefully some 8.90's or so.

9.
The bbr chassis is like 400lbs under weight, they have a ton of ballast but had tuning / nitrous gremlins all weekend.
Richards car is 180 lbs heavy he said, and with only 1 shot went 9.10's on a brand new untested setup. He has a 350 shot ready for stage 2 lol.
He even said the nitrous weight should be 3100lbs in his opinion. Good guys to race against and they really seem to know their stuff. Once he gets it dialed in it's going to be nasty.
yep, see above
You were mistaken, lol
Thanks, lol!
Nice shot Terry.
yep , she looks good going down the track!!!
Again, great meeting the new faces and seeing the more familiar ones!! Always great to see the net left on the net and people hanging out having a good time at the track!

Rebecca ran 9.64 in qualifying, ran True Street but on the third pass had traction issues and aborted run
It's an iPhone... Left the GoPro at home :nonono:

It spun a bit, I should have marked the tire/wheel but I think that was the worst 60' of the weekend with the best pass on the 3rd round of true street.
Sounds good on the transbrake!
Thanks for the video!
Best part of all... The cavebrake held on boost

Thank god I left when I did. Larry said if he knew I was there sooner they would have held me down and beat me w socks filled w bars of soap until they had a tbrake on the car they had there. This business is getting dangerous! Lol
This was a great weekend IMO. I personally got to meet a lot of people on this forum and had great convo's with other racers.
I have to give credit to Terry though for his car. With a good converter, it's going to be a very deadly contender!
The C/M class is going to be a huge success this season and future years to come I think. Once everyone irons out their set ups. I see it a mid 8 second class all day.
With our set up, we had some issues but like everyone else, time will solve that. Our nitrous car's first pass was this weekend. The total 4 we made was an improvement every time as well as a new learning curve. Our first pass the Magnafuel pump started to fail. 2nd was some adjustments needed to be made with the Big Stuff 3 stand a lone. 3rd, the spray didn't didn't hit out of the whole and the last pass a damn vacuum cap blew off the manifold so all the spray leaked out. What was funny about that, that was our first real pass in the car for the full 1/4. Nothing impressive though. But all in all, we had fun and it felt great to be on the racing side again of these events. We are going to do some more testing before GA.
Also, we are using a temp motor. Our built motor set up was not completed in time so we took the motor out of our 2011 which is NOT designed for this set up. So without the spray, the car made less power not to mention the converter was designed for a lot of spray. This motor also had stock heads & cams but were locked out. We wanted to make this race as well as collect some data.
We want to be more active and actually get back to what we started our business off of. But again, takes some practice and time.
On another note. I finally got to see the CPR kit in person. Big turbo! LOL But you can see the work that was put into it. The car it was on is very nice too and congrats on the 9.8 pass.
In conclusion to all of this. It was a lot of fun and gave us the kick we needed. To the guys from Hellion, Strickly, Coons, and Terry, looking forward to a season with you guys and to have some fun!
I want to give a personal thanks to Tim from MPR, the guys from Nitrous Express and Afco for all their help!!!!!
