Yeah, way to go Vincent.
Everyone did really well out there tonight!
Thanks to the Lorentzens for taking time they could have spent tuning their cars, helping us newbies.

I also want to give a big thanks to Don and Kevin for their support at Fontana last night. Like Julie said they could have spent the time with their cars but chose to go to the track with us to help with our cars.
Congratulations to Vincent for his 110 MPH run and 12.69 et. I can see Vincent easily hitting the 12.5's with a good hook up. Also to Dave Fisher for his 13.94 et which is excellent for his first time out and considering his mods. Julie did very well for her basically stock car and is becomming a very consistant driver.
I had two problems with my runs. One was the driver(hehehe) who could not get his act together consistantly and the other was the car going very lean above 4000RPM. So the tuning continues. However I did manage a new ET of 13.76. Also lots of rattling comming from one of my cats. Will have to get that changed out. One more mod to be done is to modify the governor to shift at 5600 or higher rpms. This will make it easier on the driver who can't do two things at once.
I had a very good time and enjoyed everyones company. Now to get ready for the January runs. ALLEN

The video is awesome, Steve! I didn't get to see any of Vincent's runs cause he was always in front of me.
'Dave' did really well, too... ?
My night was pretty uneventful.
I still have the same setup, basically stock. I borrowed Don's slicks to see what would happen. It was great to finally get some traction!
(My previous best was 14.59 @ 93 mph.)
Saturday I got a new time of 14.54 @ 92 mph, (I lifted at the end ) followed by a 14.56 @ 94 mph. The last run I left the car in drive instead of manually shifting as I'd done in the past, expecting a difference. Instead I got another 14.56 @ 94 mph!

Condgrads to every one.. awesome passes.. Sorry I could not race my car and join the fun.. But atleast I did my best to make it out there to see each of you You all did great..
I think Vincent had a very close 110 pass he is near the mark.. It's up to him to get that car out of the gate faster.. He needs that b/c that cam picked up at the end..

awesome awesome night, i had so much fun. thanks to everyone who helped out and was there cheering for Allen, Vincent, Julie and I.

Awesome job Steve, it's been quite a while since someone has managed to shave that must time off their car between trips to the track very impressive. With the plans you have in the works it definitely looks like we will all have another 12 sec Thirdgen in the mix next season, but in your case you'll be doing it at 17!

except for 2 runs in which the earth was in perfect alignment with Jupitor and I broke into the 12's
I definately hook up much better on city streets than at the track.

Congrats to all and myself for the new times. I'm slowly moving up the ranks but I will make it to the top or be in the top 5. I know I can't beat everyone but it's fun trying to do so.
Better driving, reaction and getting the power to the ground will get the car into the low low 12's.
My best pass was 1.953 60ft 12.69@109.68. My ok pass was 2.12 60ft 12.83@110.52. My runs will improve by January 2005.

Seriously congratulations, glad to hear that most everyone had a good day at the races

I know most of you wanted to see me run at the track.. But I want to be for sure ready when I do make that pass b/c I want to be like Dave and hit the numbers the 1st pass
I just have a few more parts waiting
Some coming already.. I'll get through this smog probably with flying colors.. And it's off to Driving School for me.. It's not going to be 12's next year b/c I already have the parts minus one thing.. To reach me hopefully in the Hi 11's I indeed have a Goal..

Right Randy.. Very cool.. Yes we all have our own goals.. And most want to enjoy some fun and learn from others.. I would like to ask all members to do there best and keep this board full with useful information.. Let's keep on track and on topic.. As this is a big home for us 3rdgenners..
Ok I'll let you all know my next soon Mod.. I bought a Gen6 Dfi plug adaptable.. It's going to wake things up a bit compared to my slow ecm.. How ever I have no problems with my Maf initial start up.. Then at Dyno if possible adjustments can be made right there..
