Bowman April 25th
 
Had a good time even though my car didn't want to stay together until the last pass. I finally had a halfway decent pass on the last run. It was good to meet you guys, had a blast! I'll be getting some new tires and giving it another shot next month. How did everyone fair? It looked like you lightnings were hookin up.

On a side note, I'm not a fan of the track not displaying the time or the other racers info. Whats the deal with that anyways? I'm not from around here, but all the tracks I've been to up in VA/North Carolina have the times displayed.

I had a good time I didnt run what I normally do and wasnt as consistent as usual that was more than likely due to the heat but had fun either way. I do think that the track needs a few improvements but for a smaller local track it was pretty good.

Thanks Dave for taking on Chef duty!!!

90% of the tracks around here are gruge tracks, and 90% of the time the racers have N/T (no time) on their windshields. I'm sure the tracks feel that if 90% of their patrons have N/T on their windows, why bother with a scoreboard?

Had a blast! Got a new best and got the suspension dialed in... Too bad for the heat!

lilbitmuch_21 04-25-2009 08:46 PM

I wasn't aware thats what the N/T was for. Hell, they put that on my car. I could care less if everyone seen what I ran. Best run was a 7.1 @ 99mph with a shitty 1.65 60'

Nice to meet you and talk to you today. Had a blast running down the track with that S/c lightning :D

Was a blast doing that with another heavy ass truck running. Glad you took it easy on us

Chillerman 04-25-2009 11:48 PM

We had a good time as well. Posted a new best and ran a 7.274 @94.55 with Thomas driving.

Lurch 04-26-2009 01:49 AM

Good Times
 
I talked to several people with all types of autos and everyone had fun! Im ready for the next one TKS MITCH

98Camarod 04-26-2009 06:38 AM

I'm hoping with some good tires and some suspension work I'll be in the mid to low 6's as long as I can keep the damn intercooler pipes on. I might have to get a boost controller and turn up the boost a few pounds. My runs were off of the wastegate spring and the max I seen was 8.2 but it was hanging around the 6-7lb range the whole run. I'm guessing burst knock is taking my timing too. Out of the 14 degrees commanded I was only getting 9-12 degrees logged. The other three runs there was so much crap that had went wrong, I couldn't use the data that was logged.

I'll probably have everything to go and ready sometime next month or early June to go again.

Illusions 04-26-2009 08:56 AM

Had a great time today and can't wait for the next one. Hopefully the blazer will be tuned and not running 10:1 a/f. Once its figured out she should be able to hit low to mid 10's in the 1/8th.

:cheers

clubracergt1 04-26-2009 09:18 AM

Stop saying that kind of stuff. It just makes my car look like it's that much slower

I know Jeff D was out there with his super camera he may have snapped a shot or two. Hopefully he will post up his pics soon they usually turn out real well.

98Camarod 04-26-2009 03:43 PM

that will work

BigdaddyDupree 04-26-2009 03:47 PM

i head clubracergt1 got owned by a lil red blazer? haha

dkbmxer002 04-26-2009 05:45 PM

anyone get better than a 1.42 60 foot?

98Camarod 04-26-2009 05:59 PM

Not me. Maybe I'll be close with some tires, suspension and leavin off the 2 step.

I figured so, did you get yours sorted out?

Yeah we got the suspension dialed in, now we have to work on a few a/f related things.

98Camarod 04-26-2009 06:38 PM

I heard it pop when we were leaving, was it a nitrous backfire?

What would you say made the most improvement as far as suspension upgrades?

dkbmxer002 04-26-2009 06:57 PM

Anti roll bar and the torque arm along with the qa1's... Haha but yea the battery fell off and caused things to go haywire..

98Camarod 04-26-2009 07:00 PM

isn't the anti roll bar like 400 bucks? I know the t/a is, but you can find those used for 300. That's an ass ton of money in suspension.

dkbmxer002 04-26-2009 07:32 PM

It's worth it! I have the Wolfe though

I don't know if I'd call it that. Just see for yourself and I'll let you decide.

Not sure but I wished Jr would have lined up against me. Might have been really close.

LXtasy 04-26-2009 09:11 PM

It is a low-mid 8 second 4400 lb suv in the 1/8th mile. For now. Until the a/f can get better than 10.1- 11.1 range. Truck just dumps the fuel. Tuner is out of the country for now. BONE stock lt1 with full exhaust. Mainly because its in a swap blazer.
