Irwindale 7/8

I decided to go on the spur of the moment. Sorry if I didn't tell anybody.

Don had advanced the timing on my car from 4 to 6 a couple weeks ago, and I hadn't run it at Irwindale yet. (The results of Fontana confused me, 'cause of the altitude and different track.) Everything else is still the same.

I got a new best in the 1/8 - a 9.13 at 76.58 mph; (2.075 60')!
I also got a 9.14, at 76.96.

Not bad, Not bad at all. Watch and see what happens when you get the new parts installed. You will break into the 80 with ease.

That's pretty good. 79-82 MPH is a strong 13-second car.

Every little bit helps! Thanks Don.

It all depends on the track. If they could only extend the track at Irwindale...

Update: I'm adding new pictures to my cardomain site from the past couple weeks of racing... http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/556930/2

Cool, get yourself some Drag Radials and you'll be able to work on your 60's and see your times improve even more.

Sam, I am sure that you could nail a decent 60' it's just going to take some suspension work and some good tires to get all the LS1 NX fed muscle to go straight

I'm still new here, but I saw your car on the 8th (yesterday) at Irwindale. I was impressed by your times, good runs.

Cool, thanks Teron, & welcome.
I'm a nut, I hope I didn't scare you away at the track. Most of the other people on this board are nice, though.
What color is your car? I saw a couple 3rd gens in the parking lot.

Traction...Yeah I've heard rumors of such a thing.
You should try Irwindale, Flynlow. The track is stickier & you can get a lot of runs for practice.

You beat me fair and square on that one. I tell you what, let's put a c-note one our next run and then double or nothing on the one after that. Sound good?

Sure, in a few years maybe I will take you up on it.

I got that picture at the track, they have digital cameras and they save all the pics from the past couple weeks, if anyone wants theirs. $8 for a 5 x 8 and they're not pixellated at all. I posted a bigger one on my page so you can see.

My car is blue, I was parked along the fence where your return to get your timeslips. We usually go watch the races every week, first time I saw you at the track though. I need to run my car, just to see what it can do.

I don't remember seeing it. Oh well at least next time I'll know somebody there.


update: I also scanned in some photos from the Sonic's cruise in May, should be up soon.
