Dr. Apex Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I plan on being there early(when the gates open) and hopefully be out early with a couple passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 ben your smart get there early is the key. i just posted this in the other thread but it applies to this one as well you guys need to learn is there is goign to be 200+cars there easily. so they open the gates at 430 an run at 5. if you get to the gates before they open like say 345 your one of the first cars in line. so they open up the gates you go tech in first an quickly(cause u were first in line being early) an oh wow they start runnign people an you run first... an as the next 150+cars get teched in your able to hot lap an making 5+ passes in a 40 minuite window, while every one is gettin teched in( as it takes the teches about 3 minuites per dam car). i used to do this every wednesfday an friday when i went in 2007 an i coudl easily get 10+ passes in each time i went while most that got there at 5 or 530 woudl onyl get 3 mabeyyy 4.just a thought for you guys for the next time you all want to go out there.

Dr. Apex Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 4 runs in 1.5hrs and I could have stayed another 1/2 hour for one more run likely. I got down to a 14.3 @ 96mph, spinning and spinning the tires. I had more grip at the OSU lot at autocross last weekend, I thought drag strips were supposed to be grippier than the street for petes sake.

sprayin77 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I got there at 6 teched in and got 6 runs in and best at 12.33 @ 120.82 and i could have got 1-2 more passes in. i left at 9. I think my tranny is fucked. it wont shift very well. I tried a nitrous pass but had to get out of it all the way and ran a 12.47@105.36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Paul, I did drop the air pressure as I had a ton in there but it still spun. The BFG G-Sports aren't very grippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 what are your mods and what did your car run bone stock...i ran a very shitty 16. Bone stock my best time was a 14.8@92mph w/2.0 60' My mods are 2.5" d/p with cat, p-log, Intense can tune, poly mm's, FWI, and 3.5 pulley. Now last year I ran a 14.2@97mph w/ 2.0 60' and that was with a stock pulley and no p-log. What kind of 60' were you getting and what was your trap?

John Bruh Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 i would have to go grab the slip but 60' i believe was a 2.4 and trapped like 85mph. i think the supercharger has some issues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 yeah we'll have to do that, because you obvisouly know more about these cars than i do. No problem just let me know. Im gonna go dig up the shit I have left from when I built my FWI. If you decide you want to build one as well all you will need is a filter and a rubber coupling thingy from HD that only costs a couple bucks. Very cheap mod with great gains...and man does it make that S/C scream Oh and ClubGP is probably the best place you can go to buy used shit for your car. Tons of ppl selling tons of shit...

Billiumss Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I was there as well, took my DD truck (2006 Silverado Crew Cab) Only did 3 runs because I wanted to watch as well, best I did was a 15.1 @ 91 MPH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPL_Josh Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 i ran a very shitty 16. Lightning>GTP I was there as well, took my DD truck (2006 Silverado Crew Cab) Only did 3 runs because I wanted to watch as well, best I did was a 15.1 @ 91 MPH it would have been a close one if we staged at the same time. The best i did was 15.1x at 8xmph (i'll have to check the slip) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 i dont know if the track prep sucked last night but the best i could get out of mine was a shitty 14.4 with a 2.0 60' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 What'd you manage Ben? Just a 14.3 @ 96.9mph, 2.1 50ft somehow though I had a lot of wheelspin every pass. Billiumss, I didn't realize that was you, I was just a couple spots ahead of you in the staging lanes. That's a nice clean truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
