SC'd TA
A damn good one at that.
To set it up, I had no intentions Saturday night to run anyone, let alone Danny's 500+hp SC'ed TA. It happened because I took Jeremy for a ride to monitor the vitals with a w.o.t. n.a. pass and a N20 pass. After the N20 pass, he started gettin all giddy and wanted me to run the TA. I wanted none of it, as I wanted a full bottle for track day. After I took a LOT of shit for not going to run him, offers of "you can have my bottle tomorrow if you run him tonight" started to come in, I decided to go.
WE decided to go from a 3000 rpm 2nd gear roll, at a local track and Jeremy would be riding shotgun with me, counting down and taping. We reach the track, and my adrenal gland has pegged, and I can't tell you how pumped I was (very first time going like this) and it was all I could do to keep calm.
1!.........2!!!.........3!!!!!!!!!!
We hit it HARD, and with a deafening whooosvroooommmmm!!!! we take off. I actually pulled him pretty hard from the launch, but my clutch failed me and there was no freaking engagement into 3rd and I had to shut it down. Danny was kind enough to go again, but he ain't no dummy either as he decided it would be better for him to be in 1st at 4500 rpm (and at full boost, damn that was loud!) while I was in 2nd at 3000. He admitted this afterwards, it's all good.
2nd run: Jeremy is now shouting at the top of his lungs,
1!.........2!!!..........3!!!!!!!!!! We both nail it and he immediately jumps ahead, but not far enough--I pull even in the middle of third, and the pull pretty hard passed him thru 4th, video taping is being done thru the rear window at the top of 4th.
We pull off and talk for a minute, and Jeremy asks if he wants to make another run, but he states: "I got nothin for that". Which was way too humble, cuz it was a damn good run, and I was pretty proud of it, and Danny is 1st class. But I know he will come back stronger, as I have to now too, because that was the beginning of the end of this clutch. I finished it off after the second pass at BMP.
Anyway's, it was a RUSH! But now, I gotta replace another damn clutch and come up with a little more sometin sometin....

1st run on new combo (h/c slicks/skinny's) 12.2 at 117 with a 1.95 60ft...bogged baaaaaad. N.A.
2nd run was NA with a 1.85 60ft but ran only 18.2 at 47mph LOL!!!!
"should of--would of--could of" run mid low 11's N.A.
Can't wait to spray it out of the hole...who knows then.
