Yeah, I'm not expecting much tonight, that's why I'm running the DR's. I just want to race and do a lil tweaking. I'm gonna be gone for six weeks, so I've got to get as much racing in now as I can :D Might even go Friday night too, if it's not raining.

tort9320g · 06-07-2005, 03:33 PM

Good luck tonight guys (and gals).

I won't be licking any turbos so if you see me come say hi! Dave, if you come tonight I will see if I can spot ya. I definately am looking forward for some mid 13's with chop shop Steve tuning! I have my AAA card and I am not afraid to use it!

bjc26 · 06-07-2005, 04:11 PM

What is going on with the weather for Thursday!?!?!

Now they are saying daytime high of 90 and scattered thunderstorms. Where the hell did this come from?? I am not too happy with this!

tort9320g · 06-07-2005, 11:12 PM

Looks like I won't be running Thursday. Just replaced my transfer case and my driveshaft . We took the car out for some tuning and was melting my tires in 2nd and 3rd gear. Seemed to good to be true. Sure enough...put the car up on my buddy's lift and ran through the gears. What we heard was a nasty clunking sound and noticed the front tires weren't turning at all. Figured it was most likely the center diff. although a friend said the viscous may have welded itself together. Will be pulling the trans. in a few days to see what's up. Will most likely be out to spectate Thursday.

Looks like I wont be making it after all. I hope everyone who makes it out gets some good numbers. I am going to try to make it out later to catch the end of some racing.

I was really hoping to run.

bad360rt · 06-08-2005, 07:36 AM

Sorry to hear about the trans.

Damn it was freakin hot yesterday! Ran mid 12's most of the day, bunch of 12.46's. Then it started to cool off (into the 70's, lookout LOL), pulled a 12.29@112.65. Pulled back around, waited for the next round of Gambler's to go, then somebody oiled down the track. Always a pain, but it finally gave my truck some time to actually cool down. It paid off, last run of the night, 12.19@114.68, on a crappy 1.76 60' (DR's). If the rain stays away on Thurs, I'll head back out with the Bogarts and a few track tricks and see if I can't get back into the 11's. Damn I can't wait for fall!

Dave,
Let us know what you find. That sucks.

Good times considering the heat yesterday. I wonder what the track temp was.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy. Hopefully I'll be back in the 11's tomorow with the Bogarts, which will rock, considering my 11.87 was on a 40* night :D Dunno what the track temp was, but it was high 70's and 70% humidity at 11 pm according to the weather channel :thumbdow:

Nice job. A little cold air and some traction and you're there. Hope to see you out there Thursday night.

I was gonna say, the humidity probably hurt more than the hot air. I know my car needs a few tuning runs w/the change in weather.

Definitely, that humidity is killer on any FI vehicle.
