Me!

[24-7]

not me

[gator]

did. track seemed to be hookin well for me. just testing out the new tire.

[plazma]

I went and had nothing but trouble. I must have hurt something in the car because my mph was about 7 lower than average.

Oh and it sucked I went at like 7:15 and had only made one run by 9:00. They gave us a few runs at the end of the night but still kind of pointless to waste the first 3 hours.

Vince how did it run?

Gator the car looked sweet but the traction on the pass i say looked bad. You went left then started back to right.

[T/S #25]

I'm guessing most of them haven't made it home from the track yet because no one has posted any times yet.

Either that or they are keeping them hush hush.

my first time to sunshine with the new m/t drag radials. are you sure you didnt confuse me with teh navy blue TA on drag wheels (thats faster than me)? he was having issues keeping the car straight.

i made two passes. both 60' were 1.57 @ 21-22 psi in the radials. still experimenting on the launch rpms and where it likes to be hit. it should be quicker out of the hole.

no bottle tonight. just weakness n/a.

[plazma]

I can't say for sure man it was dark and I was a few cars back. The car looked like it was trying to leave hard but spinning so it might be him. I noticed that same car in the fast lane later on if that helps?

Times? Um i'm so pissed off at my gay ass times tonight that I dont wanna post them. I did add a little more fuel and lost and extra 4mph on my last right.

On a good note I killed a few harleys on the way home. Like clubbing seals I know but damnit I needed something to make me feel better.

That sounds like alot of tire pressure, I thought most people ran 10-15 psi. Even still, nice 60'. What were you launching at?

it is a lot of pressure but talking to other cars on ls1tech (only good racing ls1 site) the guys are running them 18-22 psi. this is my first time out with those tires so ofcourse i started up high and was testing my way down. i dropped 1-2 psi on the second pass and went down 0.004 seconds on the 60'

lol

i think that 10-15 psi will cup the radial tire. but i am still learning this. i am launching at only 2500 rpms and the car isnt pushing forward yet.

there were 3 firebirds (two TAs like mine and one formula) in the "fast" lane (i call it the pro lanes). in fact i ran the formula once and right behind me was that navy blue car. btw, he runs n/t and i always show my times.

[bottlefedLX]

I know personally when I dropped down to 15 psi (Nittos) I improved my 60', but I am as inconsistant as it gets, so don't listen to me. :lol:

Vince how did it run?

Ran 8.50 on the motor with a 1.98 60ft, and I never got a full run on spray, let off after 1st gear both times. Missed shift first time, and on the 2nd try the activation switch fliped off when I slammed 2nd.

So, basically.. fuck sunshine and their log disorganized staging lanes, and fuck faulty electronic switches.

hey Vince nice to finally meet you

Vince, you say the car 60 footed a 1.98 N/A. What kind of short times did the car get on the 2 passes when you had the bottle on?

[TheShow50h]

I was coming off the line real easy, so only 1.86 and 1.88.

[GsEclipse02]

your car feels like it hooks better then a 1.98.....

[TheShow50h]

It does... just couldn't get off the line like I can on the street. Track was pretty shitty I guess. I think I could have launched just as hard on a gravel road.

[gator]

you should feel how 1.5s feel then
:dunce:

[plan Z]

sorry couldnt make it vince but looks like not the best night anyway. i was stuck finishing my fuel pump. should go to BMP next week:)

and gator, just curious, what do you run on the motor

[TheShow50h]

:dunce:

gseclipse has felt my car launch on the street before and I've launched a hell of a lot better on unpreped surfaces than I did at sunshine believe it or not. Too bad.. guess I'll have to try again some other night.

[gator]

my car has run a best of 11.59 n/a

my car is dead consistent if the weather is consistent. during the summer its an 11.70-11.78 @ 114 mph

on spray it breaks 10s but not what it should run. my shot is somewhere b/w a 125-150 shot. convertor is too loose for spray.

damn 1.5's .... must be nice ive been in jimmys sti "02evo or something like that " car and it feels good in 1st then it seems to fall on its face ....

[T/S #25]

My best short time has been a 1.413 N/A. I'm hoping to maybe better in the next week or two.
