I guess it was my turn...I broke my toy (DD).
Conditions weren't that bad but we all had fun until my mishap.

I recorded a 12.87 & a 12.89 and was going for broke on the next one (no pun intended) then the rear end let go (posi I think) so I guess that's one of those that got away. Allen got a new best in front of me on that session so I was hoping (shrugg).

Vince wanted me to check out his rear end, so I did, I found out what was wrong ...oops sorry Vince. At least now you know what was wrong with it.

AAA was going to be 2-3 hours so we went and got the trailer, that cost us a chance to make the meeting (sorry guys) but a big thank you to those that stayed to help me.

And congrats to Alex for making a couple of rounds in his first bracket race, and to Allen for his new personal best.

Also, we found a new way to get to and from the track to avoid traffic (better scenery too, sans the smell of the meadow muffins) it might have been a little faster also.

is it a secret????

Sorry about the breakdown, Congrads to those who did good.

Maybe club meetings should not be on race days.

1989GTATransAm

Got a new best et of 12.55. Slowly lowering my times as I try to figure out how to best hook up the car. The density altitude was not any better than Bakersfield.

I liked Bakersfield better as it is more layed back and not as many cars. So maybe this winter we can make another trip up there. Probably should bring the trailer.

Dyno Don

Naw, complicated

91 to 71 to 83 to 60 to 15 to 10 to Cherry Ave.




Yeah, maybe but we did it before.

Tidbit

Thats why I never have a chance to attend any. I've been to one meeting and 1 dinner in probably 4 years of knowing the club. Saturdays and nights are busy days for me becuase there generally always some race event going on.

I screwed up and brought only the camera, not the memory card, so I was limited to one minute of video on the camera's memory. My four vids are here:

Thanks Kevin for the postings.

Alex Sto... Stoja... Stojabdjkslski.

I was disappointed with my times and driving yesterday. Hopefully I'll do better next time.

I just realized that if I didn't red light on my last pass I would have won since the other car broke out.

Dyno Don

Actually, that's not the way it works.
Remember the first or worst rule I mentioned, if you red light he is allowed to run flat out so he can decide if he needs to dial down for the next round.

JulieGTA

You are doing excellent Alex!

I was looking at my old times slips. I went to three or four drag races before I got out of the 15's and 2.3 60' and that was with a 350! Also I started racing 3 years ago, this weekend and I STILL can't do a burnout worth a darn.

Thank goodness. I'm afraid to look. (at my races)

edit: Allen your car rocks! I liked watching Don vs Nurse Rachet in the ambulance. Don was getting excellent 60's

1989GTATransAm

When Don gets his new motor Nurse Rachet had better look out. It was a lot of fun. We are still learning and dialing our cars in and there is more et to be had by all of us.

cali92RS

Congrats Allen
Youre really kickin @ss now !

1989GTATransAm

Thanks Ken. I think your old car would run quite nicely and surprise a few people.

Dyno Don

Never mind Nurse Rachet, I would've liked to have seen the look on the face of that LS1 Corvette I spanked. I bet he thought he was going to catch me.... NOT

Russ-So Cal

Have you had time to tear into that rear end yet to see if you have the parts needed to fix it?

BretD 88GTA

Mike's going to have a field day with that statement.

Dyno Don

Yeah...the carnage wasn't all that bad.
One broken left side axle gear and a little twist in the axle.

I did have the parts and it's all fixed.

Uh oh My bad

Dyno Don

madmax

Little glue and zaino will fix that right up.

CaliBranden

Wow Don you already broke that 9 bolt you just built. That reminds me I need to get my right axle seal replaced.

Russ-So Cal

He didn't just build this one. It was Vincent's 9 bolt. Vince heard a noise in it, but they couldn't get it to replicate and Don couldn't see anything wrong with it, until it broke.

KiLLJ0Y

guess its time for a 12 bolt then right?

Russ-So Cal

I think he is sticking with a 9 bolt. The key here is that the rear end that broke was Vincent's. Vincent can break anything! A 12 bolt would not be strong enough to keep Vincent from breaking it.

Dyno Don

I have a new set of "quiet" original 3.70 gears going together now, but I am working on getting a 12 bolt.
