Craig's Wagon -

Started the day with a couple of good runs against Craig's mighty wagon. Great running car for the price he gave! Looks mean too for a 351 wagon.

14.28 @ 96.94 vs Craig's 15.42 @ 88.77
60ft was 2.22
14.17 @ 97.11 vs Craig's 15.61 @ 88.76
60ft was 2.20

Good times!

Got the second run on video....

Duggan's 95 GT -

This is a grudge match that's been in the works since I first met Joey. Smack talk had always been one sided too. I finallly got him to put up or shut up. Luckily he didn't have to get divorced, as nothing broke on the car... but it was good times. Multiple races and I ran a personal best N/A against his car when Tony ran it. 14.16 @ 96.98 mph!

14.29 @ 96.75 to Joey's 16.46 @ 88.67
60ft was 2.23
14.53 @ 96.50 to Joey's sideways launching 16.70 @ 84.11
60ft was 2.41
14.16 @ 96.98 to Tony's 15.74 @ 92.76 in Joey's car.
60ft was 2.12

Once he gets his clutch sorted out, I hope we can give it another shot. is always an option for him.

I'm trying to figure out if it was the cat-less H (still not fitting right yet) or the new O2s that gave me almost a 3 mph better trap speed. :shrug:

Nice. Havent seen you around in a while Paul. Check the sig for my new times. \/ \/

I have video of that run too, but my friend got it on regular 8mm tape and I cant seem to play it on my digital 8mm camrea. :shrug:

13's are around the corner.

how do you launch you car with the high stall? still using street tires right?

congrats.

:rlaugh: I'm still learning. I had my old stall figured out to the T. Now it's tougher. The bad 60fts above are from idle then WOT. :D

The best times were from idle as well, but hitting 75% throttle then mashing it down 10-15 ft out.

The Mid runs were from holding the brake and stalling up to about 2,600 - I never seem to have enough time to get it on up to 3,000 - I have to pump my brake pedal once to get it to hold that much and I only try that when the other guy takes to long at the tree. :p

Oh, and yeah, these are still the same Esennza street tires from AFSWheels. I haven't even rotated them front to back yet. :D

Reason I haven't been on in a while. I got a new job. WAY TOO MANY HOURS - salary sucks cause I'm giving away my life right now. :bang: But the potential is there.

That and I've been really sick over the past month and a half. :notnice:

If you guys want to see our club calendar I finished since the last time I posted here, there are pics of each month in this thread: http://www.100mphclub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4442

Wow... those are amazing times. What tires? :shrug:

My best 1/8 run so far is a 9.07 @ 77.20 with a 2.12 60ft.

I've got a used 6AL waiting to be installed, new Taylor wires, and I'm going to add the timing adjuster so I can switch to the juice easier and back it down during a run if I need to. :nice: Our track rental day is coming up. May 21st, so I better get with it. :rolleyes:

Street tires. ;)

They are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's @ about 25psi. 275/35/18

I get my best launches by bringing it up to 1500 rpm. no more, no less. I figure i could get even better 60' times by getting some drag radials and launching at a higher rpm. :banana:


My new goal is to reach an 8.4 in the 1/8th with stock gears. :(

I can tell you it wasnt the 02 sensors because they dont do anything at WOT your computer runs off of set fuel and spark tables.

A buddy drove it that last run, the best run... said the clutch was really misadjusted. He could at least launch it. The owner was a tire spinning fool. :)

The car has a rebuilt motor in it. Only 50 miles on it actually. It goes to car shows and is trailered most of the time. LOL

Joey is a kewl guy, but talks ALOT of smack. Took me a couple hours to get him on the track. Sure was great to outrun him like that. :D

Still no 13's NA paul? Man I am so disappointed in you! :D JK bro

Looks like you are knocking on the door though. Time to go gets some 12's on the juice. I MIGHT have some new times this month. Deciding whether or not I want to run my car on 4/30 at Mustang Madness. My goal before was 13.9 but now a 14.15 will be enough to make me happy :D
