Only real good things that came out of the trip for me was. A new best trap of 130.89 and hanging out with my daughter .
Well I was puking a little coolant out from under the radiator cap. Then on my last run it really shoved it out, and busted a heater core hose, right as I passed through the traps. I big cloud of white steam pours out of the back. I was racing a Firebird who challenged me right after I went back to my 17's. He was running high 11's. He red lighted and I still drove around and beat him by 4 tenths. I ran a 11.6x almost as good as my best on the 15" ET streets that day.
Traction, track prep. and the staff were terrible. MY best et was 11.57 @ 130.89 with a 1.81 60" also best 60' of the day. I was just spinning through the first 1/2 of the 1/8.
I busted the hose right before I went through traps, and they gave hell for not getting over sooner. I told them I pulled over as fast as I could since I was going almost 130.
I had some extra hose, and my tools, so fixed it, and filled it back up, and all was well as long as I stay out boost.
My clutch fork also came off again at the track. and right before I got home the F'ng passenger side tailpipe falls off Not good
I was having trouble deciding between heads or a bigger supercharger in may but I think my decision has be made for me. I knew I was asking for trouble with still using stock head bolts and gaskets but they lasted for 2 years. These are my plans for May now.
