Somebody just creeped into the 4th position with a 12.71@106. And talking sh*t wishing I was there to whip my ***. Ain't that a bitch! :hail:

james_85Z28

Gee Vincent....I can remember when you were fast. What happened?


It's good to see the competition is getting tough. But is anyone besides Jerry consitantly running 12.6-12.8 ? Even Team Bunny had a few 13.X runs tossed in between 12-second passes.

Damn them high HighStall-RaceOnly-Can'tDriveItToVegas-SuperTrannyCoolerNeeding-12/20_city/hwy-104+OctaneNeeding-SoccerMomAutos.....

12.71 @106 with foglights installed, air filters in place and still in need of some chip tuning. A lil bit of race gas worked well for him. Another round of trash-talking begins.

lol i was there too. Lon did randy tell ya what i did to my car? Ended up blowing the rear, barely made it home. And all day it wouldnt shift into third. So the last run i brought it to the top of second, then let off and let it get into third, and held it right where it wouldnt downshift. So end result of that run was a 16.5 at 91.x i shoulda seen 14's all day if it woulda ran right

steves86TA

and vincent if i woulda known you were pitted right by me all day, i woulda actually talked to you and hung around for a little. Sry i was running around all over the place. Next time tho

Dyno Don

Cough? Cough? Would you like some cheese and crackers with that whine?

james_85Z28

whine? ....you just had to start it up again


Why would I whine when I have the same setup

you should see the parts I don't have time to install.....

JERRYWHO

So who was it.

Jerry

james_85Z28

...had to be Randy.

JERRYWHO

Cool if it is.

Kevin91Z

What'd he do to pick up half a second and 5 MPH? Add Rusty's nitrous setup?

Congrats Randy, if its you.

We all get a great run once in a while...right?

Randy has been knocking on the 12-second door for a while. I'm sure the race gas eliminated his timing retard and that's what got him the topend he was lacking.

cali92RS

I think its cool we have all these guys in the 12's now.
Healthy competition is what drives us all to do better.

Dyno Don

Could have been Rusty, as he was going for 12's with more NAWs
{see above}

james_85Z28

Rusty was already running mid 12s with the juice.


It is Randy. There aren't many people Vincent cares enough about to qarrant a post. Randy's probably not able to post because he has since sold his soul and is now an empty being

lonsal

Since when has THAT stopped anyone from posting?

I guess I have some explaining to do First off no NAWS, thank you all very much and I would hope that even a meager 50 shot would be get well into the 12s. Here is the breakdown of the pass

1.771 60'
8.135 1/8
85.82 MPH
12.770 1/4
106.51 MPH

I have actually raced with race gas the last four times to the track. Jerry was very kind last time in giving me some of his gas and the two prior occassions I purchased from Chris the guy that runs Starfighter Motorsports, the fuel guy at the track. I purchased the same amount that I have been right after I got through tech. Even the 60' is obviously not something I that new to me, meaning I have cut several 1.7s and have not seen a 12 sec pass.

However after the pass I did start thinking about the cooler weather that would be coming that evening and that reminded me that I never removed the filters I had also left the fog lights intact because I didn't see any gains from the last trip to the track when I removed them.

I did install two parts before my first pass, they are $17.99 (come as a kit) and you can get them from any Auto Zone. After the Rim of the World cruise, I decided to change the Cap and Rotor, not earth shattering I know, but I just thought it was time and maybe it was....

Oh yeah I amlost forgot, I still have my 3.23s so hopefully some gearing may yield some better results

I could make it to Vegas...just have to leave in the middle of the night, I can run just fine on 91 octane thank you very much (100 for racing), went to the ROTW cruise (not race only) , once again keep your jealousy at bay

lonsal

If the IROC was your only option to take I'd agree. Better to go at night anyway for comfort on the trip considering your lack of a/c.

Great going Randy, congrats! Maybe you should do a friendly race with the Queen of 60's ... Jenibella?!

True, the SS would obviously be a much wiser choice

8T8IROC

Thanks, hopefully with some more practice I will be able to get some decent consistent 60's myself.

:yourock:

Jenibella

Great going Randy, wish we could have been there to see your excellent run! We'll have to grudge race, maybe Donna can drive it ... an all girl race.

hehehe......I know you can run 91-octane, but can you run it without pulling timing As I recall you overheated on the cruise, right?

I can go to LV at any time of the day. He'll Mike and I were playing cat and mouse all the way back last summer during mid-day, no problems.

8T8IROC

Thanks Jenibella
:yourock:

Actually even with the 100 octane I am loosing timing, I can see it on the tach and you can hear it clearly on the tape. As the RPMs climb in second gear going to third they dip once or twice, clearly when the timing is being pulled out due to knock counts. I finally decided to go ahead and use my work laptop so I got DataMaster installed, now I just need to make sure the cable I have works and then I can hopefully start to see if I can make a chip that will let me pull all the way to 5800 without the timing being retarded.
