Looks Like I better get to the track in the next few weeks and grab that #1 while I can.

 

Post your time Travis, and don't let anyone tell you it's lonely at the top, it's not true.

Looks like Rocklin Automotive has added Travis's car to their "Courtesy Shuttle" lineup.

 

Yes yes thanks


TraviZ - 10.9@123.5mph - 1.8 60' - 1989 Iroc-Z - 383/mpfi - F1A procharger

 

Travis, I hope you enjoyed your time at the top.

We finally got the bugs worked out, and was able to shift thru 1st and 2nd with no hesitation like a couple weeks ago. This new engine rips thru the gears at 7800 rpm and pulls like crazy.
(and that was on the street w/ street tires on it)

 

When you going out to the raceway?

 

Soon...

 

10.56 @ 125. Motor only...

 

Full stat line please.

 

Well I would have liked to come out and BS while you were there thanks for the invite!

 

the time machine didnt print clearly, that all I have...

 

I would have said soemthing, but that wasnt even me driving, I was in LA.

 

Fail.

 

Fail, is not being on the board.

10.56 @ 125 mph, 1.50-ish 60' 1991 Pontiac Trans Am, 350 ci, all motor

 

350? I thought it was a 400?
Either way, I didn't text ya back, but Bravo on that run, was very crisp and clean. If you weren't driving, who was though?

 

I was driving. See take my fatass out of the car and put in traviz and you'll gain at least 1/10 in the 1/4 hahaha

 

+1 on that. I keep my slender frame for a reason

 

Got me on that one. That's an impressive all motor time. Not sure if I want to count another driver though, haha.

Last year he was a 406 with a lot of nitrous I believe, but then it went pop, yes?

 

the old engine was a 406 and ran a best of 10.1 @ 138 on a 125 shot, and went pop because of a distributor malfunction. That was a 125 shot at the throttle body, the new system is a 2 stage, 310 direct port shot. 200 on take off & 110 at 2nd gear, all w/ 96# injectors.

The new engine is a small block, hoping to run some spray next saturday.
1 stage for sure.

Post my time, it follows the car, not the driver.

 

Says who? The username is in front lol. I'm asterick'n you until next Saturday haa

Oh okay, I thought the 2 stage was used on the last setup. What's some of the details of this small block?

I never saw times for the couple Fresno-ish guys that ran at the last GTG.

 

We are never going to have a top 10. Pretty sad.

cant post marc's #'s caus he wasnt driving

Fresno peeps don't post their times

Meanwhile Traviz is there chuckling. Haha.

 

I'm driving this Saturday 5-12-12. Wanna run?

Not to sound cocky, but ****, if you drove out there, you should run it. When you show up at the track, it's on! That's why I can't go to cruises.

 

Eh my car isn't running well enough to run. But I may come out there to BS. Going out for grudgefest that night or is there a test and tune that morning/afternoon?

 

Test & Tune from 12-4

Grudge 6-10

See ya there

 

I work this saturday otherwise I would show up for some fun.
Next time I run I will have 3.08's instead of my 3.42's
Hoping for some improvements!

 

Damn, another Grudge I'm missing out on.

Travis - Get those races and mods done while you can, I saw you are expecting a life changer later this year!

 

Did you empregnate someone?

 

FAIL..

 

Traviz sure did. It is all downhill from there....haha

So I decided to not post in this section until I have a time to put up. Keep the post #'s down in this thread. Bye! haha

 

Since nobody else is posting times, I suggest we post my times as they improve....

We ran Grudge night tonight, and ran a best, 10.43 @ 129, still on the motor, and popping just a bit.

The power went out at the track around 9pm and there were no lights in the pits, or parking areas. We never figured out what happened, but the lights were down for about an hour. They started doing "arm drops", for those that just wanted to run.

We had just changed the plugs for nitrous, and decided to run it 1/2 track and see how the car (and me) reacted.

We ran it in the dark w/ no tree, and a 200 shot off the line. It pulled hard and felt like it was really in it's comfort zone. I was told it pulled the tires, didn't "sky" it out.

It felt good, and ran straight. I think if we get the popping taken care of, it should run 9.40 or better on the first stage, then we can work on the 2nd stage (another 110 shot)

 

woo woo Get sum!

 

Let's just post my improved times. Nobody has anything worth racing.
It seems like everyone's car has just enough left in it to make a 200 mile cruise to Wally World or the 6 Flags before it needs something else to keep it going.
Jeez its like Bennie is working on everyone's car!

Rocklin Automotive will pay your entry fee if your race your Thirdgen at any Northern California event. All you have to do is post your time on the "Get on the list" post.

I'll also kickdown stickers and T-shirts for ya as well. Better hurry up, only 8 spots left, once they're filled, it's done!!!

 

hmm

 

I was wondering where you were.. whats up?

 

I did post up your latest time didn't I?

Bennie is 1 man, you have an army working on yours plus deep pockets, haha!

Way to motivate the top 10 though. I'm sure Jesse is dyin' to sport a sticker and a T-shirt, lol. Paying his entry fee may entice him to post his times once again possibly.

 

I can see Jesse now wanting to race in one of those sanctioned events. Isnt entry fee on some events like 200 bucks? lol that'd be nice of Marc to pay that much!

 

haha hey guys,

just poking my head in and thought i'd have a little fun with that post is all. As much as I'd love to take ya up on your offer Marc, i don't even think I've been in CA yet this year, much less home

still stuck out here in the Midwest trying to pay the bills, hi from MI guys, hope alls well in norcal

 

Bennie is one man, so am I. My "army" is me and 2 other guys just trying to get my Piece of **** to run 8 sec's and not blow up my "investment".

Even though Jessie & I have burried the hatchet, I'm sure he doesn give a **** about my shirts or stickers.

As for motivating a Top 10, What could motivate more than Free Admission?

Last time i went out it was $35 to race Grudge and even higher for an NHRA event, so even if its $35 for the next 8 Grudge events thats 8 cars @ $35ea, for a total of $280.

Way to support someone thats willing to cough up $280+ just to get people out to the track and THEN post their times.

DEEP POCKETS, OUT!

 

Killin' me man. I was agreeing with you on this ^ statement.

I was only being sarcastic about the stickers for Jesse, hah.

Wow, that sounds like a good time, haa. Glad you're still pokin' around here though.

 

I'm not familiar with this "sarcasim" that you speak of.

My deal still stands, race it, post it, then I pay for it. Good thing Jess is far away, that way me and Travis can enjoy hanging out at the top

 

Where do we send our reimbursement requests?

 

Whoa there cowbow, lets get on the list first, then worry about the entry fee.

Send em to the shop.

Sorry Del, the whole bennie thing threw me off. I know bennie isnt focusing on drag racing lately & I know he's busy.

 

Entered my first big race at Infineon Sunday, I was #4 qualifier, with a 10.68, on a 10.60 index.

I slept on the line, but still ran a 10.45, my only improvement was a 1.43 60'

 

9.965 @ 137.7 mph, 1.49 60' small shot of nitrous

 

Nice job! Updated.

 

This was at Sears Point, 10.50's no bottle......

 

i'm so lonely, 9.9 on a cold bottle , and i cant get a single reply so save my soul............., now when i need support more than ever.



its so cold up here at the top......

I cant feel my fingers......

Travis,

Is that you?

Are you feeling ok up here?

 

Haha great times Marc. You going out to Ford vs. Chevy next weekend?

 

3erdbird can you post race vids from way up on top ?

 

On Rocklin Automotive's website, the gallery page is being rebuilt, but has some of the most recent vids.

http://rocklinautomotive.com/drag_videos.html

Theres a bunch more on youtube, search for Rocklin Automotive, then click on Mr3rdBird's channel, then you can see the entire transformation.

I dont have time for editing, so some of them are kinda lengthy, it makes for some good ''on the job'' veiwing.

Thanks for the blanket..
