Not bad man.....this winter I want to bolt the slicks back up to mine again. Maybe i'll actually have some gears out back too. I was running like $h!t too. I kept missing 4th and running two 14.4's and 2 14.2's. I take it you have the stock axles? If not try launching at around 4000 next time. My friend is launch there on his stock axles and pulling mid 1.5 60's on 100% stock suspension, granted he is running 120+ through the traps. Let me know when you go back out again, i'll try and make it too. Peace.

yea im running stock axles. the first run i had to let off on i think would have been somewhere in the 12.8x's...but the ass end started walking everywhere, so i let off. it hooked like a ***** off the line though...ill try launching alittle higher next time im out there.

i did see you make that 14.2 run, sounded like you didnt catch traction till halfway down the track im really starting to hate bithlo.

heres the slip that i let off on:

------------ME------------2002 SS
R/T--------.795----------.646
60'--------1.862---------2.143
330-------5.660---------5.938
1/8-------8.650---------8.993
MPH------80.94---------81.64
1000-----11.631-------11.514
1/4-------14.349-------13.632
MPH------77.64---------108.52

i let off not long after the 1/8th. i think it would have been another high 12 sec. run if i woulda kept on it...but i guess we'll never know.

HEHE.....nice mph.

It took me a couple passes (out of 7 that night) to get used to the slicks. After second gear the rear end started dancing around the track, I let out once too, but not as much as you. My worst pass was a 15.4 with a 1.86 60'. I missed 2nd and 3rd. LOL

Come to think of it I seen you make that pass too. Your car definately squated (hooked) though.

well guys...just got an e-mail from my lawyer about my second speeding ticket.

turns out i have to pay $155 dollars, and goto another stupid ****ing class. but, no points...which is good. i just see it as completely ****ing retarted that i have to pay $155 dollars and go listen to someone preach about good driving...when i did nothing wrong.

so...$305 dollars and 4 hours of my time later...and i get no points. was it worth it? im still trying to decide...

words from the wise, STAY THE ***** OUTTA LONGWOOD!!! next time there going to have fun tryin to catch me.

droptop93 · Aug 27, 2002

No, I wasn't on slicks this friday night. It was in May when I ran on slicks but that night I had them on I got 7 passes. I got 4 passes this past friday night. I was bald azz (No tread grooves on the tires surface ) 245-50-16 Aqua Flow's running 42.5 psi all the way around. LOL Traction did suck, but it's nothing new for bithlo.....I'm sure you know what my mean.

If you ask me personally, I think it's worth it since you won't have to pay for it in the long run with you insurance. Cops over there are pricks (from what my dad has said) I got stopped once on Chiliota (419) and he could have gotten me for 4 things but let me go....man did I ever get lucky. Probably the coolest cop I have ever met. Though that's 1 in a million.

droptop93 · Aug 28, 2002

anybody for the track tonight? i think the clouds have done there pissing for the day...HOPEFULLY.

Guess who signed up for the next Evolution Driving school in November??

Guess whick 99 Vette better watch out at the November AutoX.

I am looking into renting out Moroso Race track on a weekday night in November. We will limit it to 20-30 cars and it will cost 30-40 bucks.

Any one interested - we get the track to ourselves for 4 hours and it is fully staffed - timing and all.

Got any more info on this Jim? I'm interested in attending.

Jims5543 · Aug 29, 2002

They are only taking 12 cars/drivers Matt and I took 2 of them.

I have no idea how many are left. It will be in Palm Bay at the skid pad. I cannot wait!! I have been wanting to do this for a while.

Here is the link

Good luck!! Hope to see you there.

baglock1- work on getting NOV 3 off, I'm running the road coarse at Moroso with chinmotorsports, would love to have a passenger/friendly face at the track. Really anyone who lives close can spectate at this event, its a open track day, the full road coarse. Lots of NSX's, Vettes, Cobras, Porshes.etc etc..

Well, scatch that idea David. The Evolution school is on the 2-3 of Nov. I'm still waiting on word from the hoster to see if there are any slots open so I might still go, but the school is my priority at this point.

baglock1 · Aug 31, 2002

Well, I was the high bidder on a 94-98 cobra front fascia so it looks like I'll be driving down to Ft. Myers in the next couple days. I'm not looking forward to the drive (especially in the Ranger) but it beats paying the shipping .
