Wow, BadLS1, I just saw on the list you went 10.19 @134, I really would have liked to see that! How come you didnt come to the KOTH race with your car, I saw you there?

Well... it took a tune up that was border line insane:wooo I had to really pound the shit out of it to make it run that # too.

Basically it was my goal to get through the year with it in one piece, and taking it to KOTH would have probably meant the motor, rear end or trans's demise:rolf

Took the 200 shot, killer 60 foot, and lots of timing and race gas to make it 1/8th mile.

The time prior going to the track, my night got cut short by the tech inspector being rather pissed that i told him it went 11.7's and ended up going 10.90's at about half potential. Got kicked out for no 5 pt harness or jacket after 2 passes on the bottle. It would have inherantly gone faster that night with more seat time, i botched each run with slow shifts, went past shift points and launched it too soft because i was so giddy that the spray actually worked for a whole pass!

Great seeing all you dudes. Did Chris go home on your trailer?

Plugged-in bottle heaters work best Ron... :D

Crawlin
11-06-2006, 08:35 AM
yes i did.

got a new best of 10.02 instead of the 10.03

on the last pass the throttle return spring came off. got that fixed thank to Keith!!! Thanks man for the help!

unfortunately, the nitrous tune was nice, but whatever that piston slap was through the years on cold startup, is now permanent. time for rebuild

That was me. :D Don't blame Coop, he went a LOT faster!! He was worried abut the way the car wanted to turn right and asked me to drive it. I was skeered of her, so I redlit. I was doing a "shakedown" run and didn't powershift it, I just wanted to see if I could tell what was going on. It was just a combination of mixing bis-ply ET streets with big front radials and not enough tire pressure in the rear.
She's a very nice young lady by the way!

Oh yea! As for your times, that's mark the announcer and I don;t know how many times we have told him to PLEASE not do that but he does not pay attention. You have every right to be upset!

Crawlin
11-07-2006, 08:36 AM
funny thing was he was saying with OTHER people's cars how "they are running clocks off so he went FAST but he can't say HOW fast he went" i must have heard that like 20 times
