Got a question im sure a few others are rattling around in there head

with this run some of us have not yet tracked our cars so we don't know exactly what they will run, my question is what happens if one of us brings a car out that runs high 10's

low 11's

which would automatically require a roll cage of some sort and we don't have that

will that be the end of our day?

I ask as it is a bit of a trip and also the associated costs for just one run would kinda suck,

though i really want to go im just afraid of running too fast with my car and having an early day. PS my car was the one with the EVIL GN plates at the party. thanks mike.

Mike if your car runs them numbers I suspect that your feelings would not be hurt & Harold's car would Immediately go up for sale LOL

or he would claim a tailwind assisted me, if i do make it i think Ill have harold bring his pink and a bus pass

LOL. then he doesn't need to worry about selling anything.

but seriously i would hate to drive all the way there just for one pass when i can go to irwin dale which is closer and get kicked off there if i run that fast, what do think my chances are low 11's high 10's mid 11's? your drove it briefly what do you think?
PS say goodnight to the sheep for me!

I will be ready for this race.. Anderson stated he was going to start putting together my motor next week and hopefully have it installed back in the car by mid month.. I'm adding a new boost controller and a couple of little things

to hopefully get her into the high 9's.. If it doesn't, shes going to be a show car.. i can't get stuck in the 10's any longer..

Getting kicked off! awsome!
That is one of my personal goals. getting kicked off a track for running to fast....man that is a real milestone and would be a framed timeslip.

you can run at irwindale and use a calculation to see how fast you would run in the 1/4
or
get yelled at, tell them it was a fluke , then make more passes and let off the gas around 105mph.

if im lucky, maybe i can get kicked off too!

Thank you for stating the obvious to Mr.Nail head He's worried about something that hasn't as yet happened, I have diagnosed him as having anxiety issues & illusions of grandeur brought on by the constant badgering by Harold. This needs immediate action from our moderator. As to prevent any further psychological damage which could trigger a suicidal episode.

I don't want to race anyone(or get eliminated) i just want to get a baseline of what the car can do. As far as i know Fontana isn't open for a while and i just want to get this sucka on the track. So i'm just in it for the testing and tuning portion.

nailheadpowered · #9 (**permalink**) March 8th, 2006, 01:16 PM

Don't worry Lou if i jump the cars yours,

then you can be irritated with Harolds lack of attention.

I will come on out there and peddle the car down the track and see what the bucket of bolts will do.

By the way Harold has no angst on me, he's more like a big two year old who likes to be a pain

but like i said if he wants to run well run but i hope he has cab fair.

i'm in the same boat as you.. i want to break- in (hopefully will stay together) my new set up.. No Eliminations for me.. Plus i sleep alot on the chirstmas tree.. I need NOS to spool up more quicker damn it

How'd you make out last night Lou?

SYTECH · #17 (**permalink**) March 10th, 2006, 06:54 PM

Way to go last night Lou

If I remember correctly, you had a 7.87 at about 88 mph as your best run

I lost count after your 4th or 5th run...lol

Unfortunately for me, my night was cut short to just 1 run

My 7.1 at 96 mph (approx. 18 lbs of boost) with a 1.59 60 ft on M/T ET Street Radials (no roll bar / 5 point harness) = please remove your drivers wrist band and report back to Tech....lol

Oh well, if you want to play the game, you gotta follow the rules

Later
