Benner Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Seemed good and bad today. The street tire cars couldn't get any traction. Anthony Destroyed his previous best time by 2 tenths Dover didn't wreck his bike (that I know of) I left just after noon so there was about another hour and a half of racing after i left.

Guest Removed Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 street tires suck period....and dont blame it on the track either, there was plenty of breakage on sticky tire cars to prove that track hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Did alil better. Best e.t was 11.06 Best mph was 137.71 Best 60' was 1.99 ROFL.... Convertor needs a different stahl on it to get it to 60'. Tried to spray it but the intake pipe blew off and it broke the fogger so gonna get that fixed, clean some shit up in the engine bay and see if I cant find a track close by still open. All in all I like the auto alot better and couldnt be more happier with the job that IPS did on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm not at all. The drag radial/slick cars were hooking like crazy but the cars on street tires were looking like they were driving on ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Oh and forgot I won the race with Anthony as he red lighted and lost from that.

Seemed like the rear tires were about to bounce of the ground on the rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong! When that track was cold I had some serious issues. Car bounced off the rev limiter and spun on my first pass. Second pass the car shifted into second and went sideways. Third pass after track had heat I made a full pass with no issues in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) I had billows of clutch smoke on the first pass. The third pass was ok, but in third the tires were spinning and I had to feather the throttle. Last pass was a 12.89 @ 110. I need the driver mod.

Doc1647545523 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 What a great November day! It seemed as though everyone had fun, and some of us had lots of fun. I enjoyed seeing old friends and also meeting a few new ones. Just watching the Rose brothers run those terrific cars and seeing the Anthony/Sam duel was worth the price of admission. Eric's "roll start" on the bike was pretty entertaining as well ..... anyone get a video of that? I also don't recall ever seeing cars going down the track with passengers in the trunk before. My understanding was that the event sold out. I hope people consider this when our next track day comes around and that they register in advance. Without enough advance, paid registrations, these events run a risk of being cancelled, and that would be really lame. The big Benz settled right into its normal routine: 11.57 secs @ 124.64 mph and, yes, it is still untuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third pass was ok, but in third the tires were spinning and I had to feather the throttle. Last past was a 12.89 @ 110. I need the driver mod. we were standing there debating what that smoke was....thought you were just breaking loose the whole way...bet that didnt smell too good in the cab What a great November day!

I thought the car was on a damn good pass until it banged into second and got fussy. I am just very thankfull and lucky I kept it off the wall and out of the other lane. My concern was that there was something wrong with the car after those first two passes. When I saw how much trouble Tina was having it made more sense the problem was the track. When the track finally got some heat I got my personal best, in the adventure lane a roudy 13.34 with a 2.03 60' All new bests for The Red Dragon! Now time for the winter modding to start...

After watching that crash video someone posted made me paraniod. Either way good pictures and someone im sure has some video post up when they get it. That was actually the first thing I thought about after I got out of the car LOL! I have never had a car step out that hard, that far out on me. Tina's car was even worse since it is a 6 speed car. I knew she was having issues and when Scott took it out you could hear and see him having a hard time keeping it rubber side down. Mad props to Scott for wheeling that bitch like an Outlaw Sprint Car! Today was a blast and the exact reason why I love the car lifestyle. Great people, great weather and fun times. Today was really what it is all about for me the only thing that would have made it better if my wife could have been out to enjoy it as well. Thank you Anthony, Tina, and Brian Carter for making these track days happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
