Track results from today.

[V6POWER]

Car ran well today and ran its second fastest et with a friend (Pat Broughton) driving the car for the first time on that pass. He obviously can launch better than I can. :smile: I was running a new set of ported stock heads that Khai in Charlotte, NC had done and they worked real well. I am able to run the same mph at only 23# boost and 23/21 timing whereas I needed to run 26# and 26/22 timing before the head swap to run the same mph.

60'=1.674
330=4.587
et=7.069
mph=99.72

1.655
4.557
7.032
100.04

1.584 (Pat was driving)
4.435
6.914
99.61

The Wind must have changed direction on that pass jim!


That car is flying

 

[V6POWER]

The wind had nothing to do with how you launched.

I think I will turn up the boost one turn so I can hopefully run consistent 100 mph. That should be consistent 24# boost.

Nice times Jim.. Sorry I had to leave so soon as I wanted to see what went wrong with Tommy's car. Anyway congrat's on that 6.91 pass.

Maybe its time for a transbrake..? HAHAHA!

What happened to Tommy's car? I definitely will not be getting a transbrake.

The 6.91 was because of Pat. He is a better driver than I am. When his car gets back together he should be able to run some real good times on just pump gas.

I think we have a winner for the driver of the next ZDDPlus car!

Glad you're getting things worked out with your car

 

[V6POWER]

Thanks for the help with the wb, Eric.

I think Gene wants to drive the Z car.

Jim,

Are those runs with the PTC or did you go back to the 9x11? Do you have the powerlogger files?

Thanks,
Mike

 

[V6POWER]

PTC, unlocked. I will send you the files.

I think Gene wants to drive the Z car.

Better him than me, they'd have to install a toilet seat for me to drive it
I don't know which would be louder, my screaming and crapping all over myself or the car.

 

[V6POWER]

Now that is funny.

 

[esinger]

Now that is funny.

Heck, you think that's funny. You should ask Pat about the time I drove his riding mower. Lost control on flat ground and smacked in the propane tank in his back yard.

I'm unsafe at any speed!

Hey was that your car at Piedmont on Thursday?
There was 2 nice gn's there.
I was in the turbo dodge dart

 

[V6POWER]

I'm unsafe at any speed!

Maybe that's why you drive a hot air. :biggrin:


cold85--I was at Piedmont Thursday along with the other GN owner. I think his car broke an axle on his second run. I remember seeing the Dodge with the Turbo emblem on the side.

 

[gnloyalty877]

Congratulations Jim! Glad your getting the bugs worked out.

 

[esinger]

Maybe that's why you drive a hot air. :biggrin:

It's a wonder that I don't empty the track when I show up. There's some brave people out there:wink:

I think you and I need to attend the Pat's International School of 60 foot (aka PISOFF)

You would have noticed the fenders were not painted due to a wall I found with the drivers side at the RPM 275 race.

I think my best run that night was a 5.23@142

 

[V6POWER]

Eric--Bring your car to Piedmont Thursday (22nd) night and we will practice our 60'.

cold85--That car is moving!

 

[V6POWER]

Sorry about the contact. I assume you are OK.

I'll have to pass on Thursday night. Don't beleive the "ole Hot and Slow" GN will be ready that night. Right now it's a big rat's nest of wires. I'm finally installing the ISAC Alky/Boost controller and even if I had it finished by Thursday night, it'd need some regular road tuning before sailing down the track. This Sunday's T&T looks more promising.
