my turd was very suprising today.

 

I just got back from dragway 42, near ashland, OH. the weather was AWESOME!!! Started in the high 40's then low 50's then from abour 2pm on it was in the 40's again, and no clouds in the sky, the sun kept the track warm and the air made the cars fast.

 

got 3 other runs but threw them away, one missed 4th (second run) other missed third, and one time i kept my hand to stiff on the shifter, and jerked it out of gear when the car took off.

unfortunatly no one else here jumped at the chance to race in PERFECT drag racing weather.

As ytou can see the track hooked very well, no one was complaining about anything today in terms of track conditions, my lone 2.xx 60' time i over heated the DR's and they werwe a little slippery yet.

 

Other stuff, there was a stock looking Grand National in the mid 10's, a turbo integra going high 13's but at 104 mph. many cars running 9's 10s ect. only about 100 cars total there so i got 12 runs in!!!

 

Anthony, you would have cut 10's if you would have come out, fo sho!!!

Congrats, Joel! Post for the list update....

 

As for me, the car is slowly being tweaked on and couldn't have made it. There's a mouthy C5 owner who needs put in his place.

 

Kinda embarassing to get not only owned by a "poor man's Trans Am" with me driving, but having said car pull the front wheels too.

 

Saturday will rock graemlins/thumb.gif

I think that turbo Integra you saw is my friend from work. He ran a 13.6 untuned in the spring. He was on the dyno for over 3 hours last weekend and gained over 30hp and has a nice, flat torque curve. He said he's not sure why he wasn't faster, but he was hungover and didn't feel like playing with it too much.

Your friend burnt up his clutch running me :(

i tried to tell him to lower his tire pressure a bit, nahh. also told him to slip the clutch A LITTLE! and he slipped it from 6000RPM :(

the guy also said turbos don't like cool air as much as N/A cars, i said, "uh, ok."

seemed like nice enough fellow, said he works for a company that makes clutches and is originally from St.louis, he just needs some more track time.

haha, that sucks about his clutch. I'm suprised he couldn't get a good launch. I guess he'll blame that on the hangover.

 

Not sure what he's thinking about cold weather and turbos...
