I had a great time it was fun to finally get a car back to the track again .

I was actually happy with the car for the first time out with it . Best pass on motor was 8.11 @ 85mph and best pass on the gas was 7.21 @ 96mph with a 1.57 60ft . The nitrous pass was with the progressive controller on 50% out the gate and ramping in the other 50% in the next 1.5 seconds . I went around to make a pass with all the gas from home but the nitrous never hit . I've had some issues with the arming switch and we think that's the culprit . Overall not bad for only having 3:55 gears in the car . The car really needs some 4:10s in it , it goes into 3rd 50-100 ft before the finish line in the 1/8th . With a little more timing in the car I tihnk it will run right where I want it to 7.xx on motor and 6.8x on the gas .

Mike · 02-24-2008, 10:40 PM

Guys your going to have to refresh my memory on who drives what. So I can name these videos correctly

Is this all right?

Jeff - light blue notch.
1iron - Paul - Blue GT.
WTFWSAT- Chris - purple notch.
Chillerman- Will - blue hatch

Jeff · 02-24-2008, 10:42 PM

Yes Mike that's a good list .

Whaler · 02-24-2008, 10:43 PM

Jeff, it was good to see you racing again.

WTFWSAT, your car left hard, but we could tell you were having trouble with the tranny. Good luck with figuring it out. You better come over and say hello next time.

I'm still looking for that lowrider S10 ......

Richard Head · 02-24-2008, 10:43 PM

Glad to see everyone tonight. Even the sick ones.

You have to look closer to the ground instead of the sky to see it.

But like I told you. Give me 5 and the break and it might be on.

Nice times for your first outing Jeff!!!

BTW how did you get tickets with MPH on them? B/c neither Morey nor I did.

Jeff · 02-24-2008, 11:18 PM

Thanks !

Every pass the car made the ticket had a mph . I've got 6 slips all with mph on them .

slowgreen99 · 02-24-2008, 11:20 PM

Haha, howd he do? And when you gonna take that 8 and the hit from our all motor 4 cylinder????
BTW, Jeff, sounds like you arent too far off of what you were expecting! Glad to hear it made a decent pass, but yeah, some 4.10's would prolly get u a good bit closer to where you want to eventually be. Anyone goin next weekend?

Jeff · 02-24-2008, 11:25 PM

Yeah I need some gears and I'm happy with the car especially the way it hooks . I had zero problems with traction ......but when your car doesn't make much power it's not hard to hook .

Your buddy in the blue 98 showed me a time slip from what looked like a top fuel dragster with a tire blistering .................................................. .................................................. ...........

9.40 @ 72mph

slowgreen99 · 02-24-2008, 11:28 PM

hahaha, daaaaamm!!! He said a 9.1 spinnin.....oooo well, its all good. At least I know I can beat SOMEONE! You goin next weekend Jeff?

Jeff · 02-24-2008, 11:30 PM

Yeah I'll be there next weekend . Let's just hope Darryl and Harry get the lights fixed out there this Saturday so it won't be another early night .

slowgreen99 · 02-24-2008, 11:33 PM

Aite, yeah someone please get the lights fixed cuz I come out there about the time its gettin dark. I hope to see some of yall there this Sunday. I might even shoot mine, hell, I dunno

1iron · 02-25-2008, 09:15 AM

Thanks for the vids. I managed to spin every time. I guess I need to work on car and driver for the next time. The car ran 7.3 on motor but I think it has a little more in it. And thanks Morey for the expert body work.

Paul
