Well, it was an interesting night at SS.

Here are my times:
1st run: (bogged on the start)
R/T... .727
60'... 2.63
mph... 94.77 (WOW!)
1/4... 15.2

2nd run: (missed 4th gear)
R/T... .981 (wtf???)
60'... 2.39
mph... 93.22
1/4... 14.7 (Sweeet)

3rd run: (fuck!)
R/T... 1.049 (fell asleep)
60'... 2.65
mph... 94.65
1/4... 15.4 (blew something)

I know my reaction time doesn't affect my 1/4 mile time but my launches are seriously crap!!!
On my 2nd run the guy I was racing finished the 1/4 mile before me but my 1/4 time was quicker.... cool.
My 3rd run I had a good start but I blew something just over half way down the track.... I have yet to diagnose the problem.... might be a blown head gasket :(

Oh well, TC is now officially retired for the season... thanks all!

edit: 60' times

it's weird cuz my 60' times my first time out to racecity (7psi) was 2.2secs and I did a 15.3 @ 93mph. Now i get a 2.3secs and 14.7 @93mph??? :confused:

Don't tell me he didn't show up!
The cheap ass tells me hes broke and asks for sponsorship and he doesn't go race? Its only $20 but he has to another install just for that

How was traction last night? Elevation?

14.7 is still SWEET!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Is Leo going to diagnosis your car later on today? Watch out for those braces!!:rofl:

He might be borrowing parts since your car is parked for the rest of this year!!

14.7 is pretty good. 60ft times seem a little high. even i can get 2.3 60ft times in my automatic.

After you left leo had worse problems. :(

Update:
I just took a look at my car and it may not be as bad as I originally thought... what i thought was detonation was in fact two i/c piping vibrating on each other (creating the "ping" noise) and the coolant that blew out was due to the pressure in the overflow reservoir spewing. I took it for a quick test run and it's fine... :thumbsup: I'll keep my eyes on things though.

Whew, good thing it was nothing more...would be a shame to see your car decommed for a while getting it fixed.

Are you going to SS next friday? I gotta see this puppy roar!:thumbsup:

Glad to see everything's cool with your engine Bob, which means we COULD'VE just got some water for one more run :rolleyes: How's Leo's problem? Did he get it all fixed up?? :thumbsup:

I think leo's car is running properly now... last night he could only boost 4psi (boost-controller problems). I think he's boosting 10psi today and it's holding strong... the only tough part is passing tech again :banghead:

I think we got a lot of video on last night's races.... especially towing leo's car off the track. :rofl:

ya how in the hell did you pass tech? From what i've seen those race city officials aren't big fans of ghetto hookups
