I think that only counts for 3 years.

You haven't beaten that time yet?

Dang, I sure take my time dropping tenths, eesh.

'06 - 13.5 -> '07 - 13.3 -> '08 12.9

If history repeats itself, the best I can get is a 12.7 this year, haha.

Anybody have a time to post yet? I know some of you savages have been out there since Feb and earlier.

JesasaurusRex · 04-13-2009, 02:37 AM

OUTATIME GTA · 04-13-2009, 02:42 AM

This year has just started dude. When the racing year is complete, then I'd say it's 4.

Back to the topic at hand, for those with some actual input, or output actually.

EvilCartman · 04-15-2009, 01:15 AM

I'm looking for single digits this year

We're almost in June, anybody have some times to report??

You can enjoy the luxury of being in the top 3 very easily!

'atta boy.
Enjoy that top spot.

Ramair21 · 06-01-2009, 12:27 AM

Great job Aaron!

Bullydawg · 06-01-2009, 01:04 AM

That was my first time out there. My best trap was a 103 run. I couldn't get any traction.

I plan on going out over summer at least 2 times a month if my formy is running. I don't have to work part time anymore. I can't wait to graduate in 4 days!

Wat sup Jesse? You going this saturday?
Everybody wants No.1 spot so I give up, I'll just follow.

I need to update my ignition, I can't spin my motor over 6400. If it's fuel then I will definitely need to transfer the motor to my other Camaro. Or Firebird?

I sure hope so too and maybe I'll see a high 10 seconds time slip.

Ramair21 · 06-15-2009, 01:42 AM

Hey Del, Mark me down

Joey (Ramair21) 12.9 @ 106mph - 1.77 60ft - 89 Camaro - 00 LS1

1TUF92Z · 06-15-2009, 03:06 AM

Unfortunately no 10 second pass for me but....

11.520 et @ 120.629 mph 1.608 60' 406 all motor stock rear end w/3.23 Still working on a few problems.

Eliminated 5 Mustangs

until 2 Mustangs and 5 Camaros. I was supposed to run a Mustang again but I ended up racing a Tub Camaro. Only If we didn't change my dial in of 11.80(ran 11.67), I would have still won the race.

My son was with me and learn how the bracket race goes and asked why did I have to change it. I said I didn't, someone did......he then said aagain......WHY???

I just did some calculation and if I am right which I think I am, I would have still lost the race even if dial in was not changed due to my slower reaction time.

JesasaurusRex · 06-15-2009, 04:00 AM

the mph is there

OUTATIME GTA · 06-15-2009, 10:28 AM

Nice job fellas.

I heard it was a great night for racing with nice cool air.

Ramair21 · 06-15-2009, 11:21 AM

Great Job Bennie!! Sorry i didnt say good bye. The fam was ready to leave after i lost the 4th race. Glad to hear that some mustang butts got kicked.

How is everyone getting traction out there? I had new nitto drag radials and I cut ONE 2.1, but it was hot out and I ran a 14.1... Then as I cooled down I cut a 2.2 and ran a 13.7... What PSI is everyone using?

TraviZ · 06-20-2009, 02:31 PM

question is, what psi are you using?

Bullydawg · 06-20-2009, 02:43 PM

I was at about 20 PSI at the track. The first run I didn't turn down the PSI at all and it was at like 32PSI and I did a small burn out and I cut my best 2.1 and that was the hottest part of the day too. At 20 PSI with big burnouts, I cut a few 2.1's, few 2.2's 2.3 and a 2.4...

OUTATIME GTA · 06-20-2009, 04:06 PM

I would think with that higher stall and new DR's you should be able to cut some 1.8-1.9 60's at least.

With my old BFG's and not really smoking the tires, I was typically 1.9-2.0 with 15-18psi in them and that's not very good.

I'm in the market for some new "streetable" DR's and hopefully some better launching skills, hah.

Hey Joey, were those 1.77's with the same slicks?

TraviZ · 06-20-2009, 06:01 PM

try even as low as 15. I think your just in need of more launching practice. no amount of tire can help your torque off the line.

1TUF92Z · 06-21-2009, 03:15 AM

First of all, before everyone

start suggesting tire pressure. What size tire is it?

EvilCartman · 06-21-2009, 04:40 AM

Try this, quicky roll into the throttle instead of just hammering it.

Bullydawg · 06-21-2009, 12:19 PM

That is what I was doing. When I mashed it down I got a 2.4 60ft time, but trapped at 103 which was my highest of the night.

The drag radials are the Nitto 555's that are 245s.

Anyone want to let me try there tires sometime?

TraviZ · 06-21-2009, 03:29 PM

its not the tires..

Bullydawg · 06-21-2009, 03:56 PM

How should I launch it then? I doing a fat burnout in the beginning, then foot braking to 2400 or so, then rolled on the pedal, and still had traction issues. I tried launching in 1st, 2nd, and in drive... not much difference.

I went on a Wednesday night without much prep and really hot outside.

OUTATIME GTA · 06-21-2009, 06:23 PM

I wish I could foot brake to 2400.

EvilCartman · 06-22-2009, 04:01 AM

Lower your RPM and let the converter flash, maybe a little less of a burnout. Hey, you should head up to Redding on the 27th. Gates open at 6pm (usually open earlier though) and racing starts around 7pm ish. It's about the same driving distance as Sacramento and it's only 5-10 bucks to get in, another 10 to run.

Yeah Del, Same MT ET Streets. I love those tires. Along with skinnies in the front

Ill see what I can do. Right now I am replacing my intake manifold gasket because it was causing a little oil leak. I don't think this Saturday is going to work. I get Wednesday and Sundays off work, so those would be the better days.

EvilCartman · 06-23-2009, 04:41 AM

Doh. I'm hoping to do a cam swap Friday so I'm hoping to get the car back on the road soon as the lifters come in lol. Hope I ordered the right length pushrods or else I'm screwed for Saturday.

3rdBird · 07-23-2009, 02:02 AM

3rdbird, 11.87, @ 120.78 mph, 1.70 60' 91 Firebird, 406ci, no bottle.

vindeezl · 07-23-2009, 03:56 AM

Just wait till the laughing gas kicks in

9s?

1TUF92Z · 07-23-2009, 11:00 AM

Cool...go..go..go. It's about time. I like competition.

I need to install that coil and try to break low 11's. You're close to my time or I can just press that "detuned" botton.

j/k.

Car has been ready to hit the track months ago but, it's been busy at the shop lately. Few more tweaks and it should break into 10's. Then we will give the baby bottle. The last time we hit the track on the car was like I think 4 months ago.
