blue98ls1 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks to all who came out today! It was fun! The weather was almost perfect. Took my stock Camaro today. It did it's usual 13.7 that I have come to expect on street tires. What did you run? Any new personal bests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPFSTheFett Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Was a great time and we really had some good weather! For the first time we had some time to play with the tune. Prior to today we were running 9.9-10.0s (mainly 10.0’s). Today started the same way. Mark got in there made some changes and we ran a best of 9.67@141. Also had 9.71,9.75,9.76,9.81. We tried one nitrous pass but the track wasn’t holding the car as well that last hour. So car slowed down 9.9@143. Regardless 9.67 and a 1.43 60’ from that heavy car is amazing. We got a few more plans that should shave another couple of tenths on motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 So, 2 cars ran today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Bummed I didn't get a best. Was hoping for it given the weather conditions. Ended up with an 11.3 which ironically was my first pass of the day. Great time and can't wait for the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Car went a 10.94 with Scott behind the wheel for the best ET When I ran it, new best 60foot with a 1.53 until it ran out of nitrous at half track, would have been a 10.80 pass for sure. New best MPH with 124.9 but ET was junk when the car got fussy before the 60 foot cone. All in all, it was a great day for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thank you for supporting the event, we appreciate it. It’s our pleasure. It’s a great way to support CR and it’s members. We’ll do our best to make sure every CR track rental happens. It’s much easier for people to commit to going if they 100% know it’s going to happen. All in all there was a pretty good turnout! I’d like to work something out for group lunch. So everyone can connect. I’ve been on this board for ages and only know a small handful of members.

We can talk about this more in 2018 and come up with a plan. I would love to combine my two favorite things, cooking, and racing at one of our events for sure.

Richard Cranium Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks to everyone involved for making this event happen. I finished the day with a new personal best for me in the car. I know there is more hiding in there, I just have to figure out where it is. I'm now in the lower half of the 8's with an 8.49 at 147. Leaving off the rev limiter is a hell of a kick in the pants. I'm actually sore today. The car's 60foot is right in the 1.15 to 1.20 range.

408 on a budget Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I ran an 8.88 @ 150 mph, track was awesome! This was a day of several firsts for me, that track, 1/4 mile with the twins, 150+mph, and into the 8's, had a blast. Like I posted before, thanks to all who made this happen, looking forward to doing it again next year. On a side note, if anyone happens to have any video of me (red s10 blazer), please feel free to post it up or pm me a link if you can, thanks.

coltboostin Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks for having it! good to hang with the CR crew again. Best of 10.4@150. Traction was an issue as they kept me in the street tire lane! anyone want to start a pics and vids thread? If anyone got any of my car id appreciate it my Go pro was corrupted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clone Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 It was a nice day for the event. Car was really lean when I started but ended up with an 9.69 @ 137.66. One run was 10.34@129.05 on 7 cylinders as I left number one spark plug wire off. Big thanks to LT1RICK for helping warn traffic on 71S as I changed a trailer tire.

RS69 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I had a good time too and thank Anthony and Tina for setting this up. I took the 14 535 BMW and its best was a 13.88 at 98mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does stupid shit like leaving a sparkplug wire off. I was in the staging lanes for my first pass and realized I never set my tire pressure. When I got back to my trailer I checked them and was pretty close. One was half pound high and the other was half pound low. You're very welcome on the assist beside the highway.

fattyona12 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) I took the beater out and ran a 11.42 @ 118 with a 1.50 60' new best with it. just a spare parts car. Was a fun day, thanks for having it. Edited October 4, 2017 by 10sec93 add video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Fiero Turd went 12.55 @ 108.9 with a 1.86 60'. If you were on anything other than a hoosier or full on slick you got shafted. That cone that was there on the left side was to keep you out of the groove so your DR's wouldn't "tear up the track for the pro mods that are coming in Saturday morning". I know my car isn't the fastest but when you need to get a decent 60' to get a decent time and no matter what you do you can't hook for shit it kinda sucks.

SpaceGhost Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yeah here was my best (on the left) I swear there is better traction on the street than the the left lane there. I give up with this car. Just gonna drive it. No point in racing this turd anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushing you outside of it.. hence your shitty 60'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, I thought it was odd. Now I know why it was there. I’m still a shitty driver, never had anything less than a 2.0 60 ft time on street tires. I’ve given up trying to dip in the 12s with this car. Not gonna happen unless I do rear suspension and do drag setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I will say I ran .3-.5 faster at trails in the spring when it was hot as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on video where I asked if I can go in the groove and didn't even go through the water box and had my best 1.86 60'. :dumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 10.69 @ 130, shitty 1.69 60' Then I broke the Magic 10-bolt. Dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
