Went out the to the lakeland 1/8th mile track tonight. Had quite a few runs in.

Ran a mid 90's Probe GT, not all to sure what he had, but first run I wheel hopped into a missed gear and he romped me, second run I got him with a 10.959 to his 11.88

Ran a friends' 85 RX-7 with an exhaust and modified valve or something. Spun through first and hooked in second for an 11.49 to his 10.9

Also ran a Full size chevy with exhaust and who knows what with a cowl hood. The driver lit them up in water etc. Beat me at the actual race by maybe half a length, but I got them on the actual ET. (need to work on my Reaction Times ) My 10.89 to their 10.96

This is what I got for best time on my car with almost bald tires, an intake tube, and the Escort GT header. Not too shabby in my opinion for just a baseline 'scort with not much on it and literally no traction *spun through first and part of second most of the time*

Overall a fun night, and very much worth the 13$ to play

Good runs.


Oh and RX7s don't have any valves.

 

HAHA IM SORRY BUT THAT IS SOME FUNNY ISH

ROFL!

u just made my day and yes sir i am totaly smashed

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

HAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHA

ok im sorry im done

HAHAHAHA

wow so blasted

 

holy shit....i guess if i ever need an ego booster ill go to lakeland to race....is it alot of rice there? id hate to keep getting told the only reason i run 8's is because i have 8 cylinders..then id really hate having to tell them the only reason i have 8 cylinders is so i dont run 10+ with 4... good kill/death though

seen that heads/cam/pistons RX-7? bad boy is sick!

 

also, just curious...do you just rev up to XXXX and pop the clutch? the's 60's are horrendous (im not trying to be an ass, just tryin to help ya with launching technique and such)

 

Well since I don't have a tach in my car it's all by ear and feel really. But because of the damn tires any time I tried an actual launch I would either spin through gears or wheel hop like no other . I've ran 1/4 mile before in my old Neon ACR. But this was more challenging lol. I figured because the tires were bald I might be able to get some traction on the sticky shit left behind Didn't work though obviously.


There was a good mix of 4cylinders and v-8's with a couple of the big dogs practicing runs.

The RX-7 modified valve or something has to do with the intake and a secondary port or something hell if I know

I'm not running anything much on this motor, it has to last me until the nice one gets finished, which may be a while.

 

OUCH WITH THE TIMES .

 

Modified valve?lol they dont have valves and btw good kills and deaths.

 

^^^ did I not just say I didn't know what it was? read the damn posts!! It has something to do with the intake or some crap I don't know really and yes they do have a valve, just not the kind of valves you guys are thinking of. They have a valve that lets air into the engine that's part of the carb just like any other motor. I know how a rotary works so quit bitching about a stupid valve!

There's like a spring powered valve that adds either air or fuel (can't remember) when you romp on it, that he modified to open earlier.
