Atco Raceway April 15

[SilverBulletRL]

I was there only till 7:40PM tho... cuz of work at 8. My best run ( out of 2 ) was a 14.43 @ 98.18. Here's the slip... I need to work on my driving skills. I can prolly hit a 14.0 or high 13.9 if I knew how to drive better...

R/T .481
60' 2.364
330 6.263
1/8 9.424
MPH 77.37
1000 12.071
1/4 14.436
MPH 98.18

That race was against Jess!! I looked over when I lined up, see a white eclipse and hear psssssssssshhhhhhhhhh. I'm like OH SNNNEP JESS!! She ended up running a 14.57 @ 103.17 tho (damn traction I guess.. I heard her spinning). By time we reached the finish line I hear/see her pulling HARD. Scared the bejesus outa me lol. Anyways... nice to meet the ppl who were there! Jess... did you hit 13s?

MAN THAT WAS AWESOME. I ran my car first time ever tonight and I'm proud to have this slip.....Its not great but still first time come on!

rt = .418
60' = 2.414
330 = 6.433
1/8 = 9.674
MPH = 75.31
1000 = 12.393
1/4 = 14.816
MPH = 96.27

I actually had a few people come up and congratulate me when I was waiting to run again. I also when coming back infront of the croud heard some nice compliments about my car. My favorite to hear though was YO THAT 14.8 WAS RUN BY A SATURN! LoL Anyway yea I agree with silver on needing to learn to drive better. I just need to nail launching. Oh and yea I tried to launch a little to agressivly second run and it was a 15.8 so..... lol yea I'll work on it PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

I wouldn't go yelling that lol... everyone knows if jess would have traction, her car would destroy mine.

[Blaise]

If I so much as hear a peep out of anyone about traction not being good tonight, I will put a hurting on them.

2.08 60' on 195/60/14s with -2.5 degrees camber, FWD, and open diff. Piece of cake.

Great Runs Guys. My boy Tony was there watching and was loving Saturns running 14s. Anyway I'm glad both of you ran pretty decent times. Now your going to have to turn that boost up or learn how to drive to hang with the Cutty once the tranny is done. At least I hope I'm in the upper 13s.

FivePointOh - You man I heard you ran 14.5 but had car trouble or something. Just wanted to make sure everything was ok.

Yeah I had a horrible launch that time and I missed second gear when I went up against you. It didn't take me too long to catch up to you though :P

I only got one other run in besides that one. 14.1 at 106 mph. My 60 ft was a 2.4 because I kept trying to ease it off the line to avoid wheel spin/hop through first and second gear, but it didn't work out too well for me. All season 205 tires and open differentials do not mix well with almost 300 whp. But at the mph I'm trapping at... I should be well into the 13's. JJ ran my car once too. He missed third gear and did a 14.1 at 103. His 60 ft wasn't very good either, since he's used to launching awd.

I need to start purchasing things such as suspension / better tires / lsd to help me more with traction. On the way home I floored it in third gear and the tires broke loose. It's funny how that can be a good and bad thing all at the same time. I have a pair of slicks, I just need to get rims for them.

Wait untill I'm able to turn boost up like you guys and gals

[Aaron]

All I hear or excuses. What you can run and what you run are completely different.

Easy for you to say Mr. AWD. It's ok though... wait until I get my slicks on

[WhiteFiveO]

Jess i thought that was u there wasnt sure u were in the lane next to me, my car was only in line for 1 run intill it blew

[gtsiawd96]

i brought my car yeahhhh.

100 miles on the clutch..92oct. in the tank and 23 psi. didn't all mix real well starting missing in 3rd. haha. 14.1@68...on the brakes. I let the srt-4 catch up he ran a 14.1 at 100mph. I called it quits after that. FWD sucks it really does take some skill to make a good pass. Running mine and running Jess's are 2 completely different cars. And she needs a short shifter. lol.

[gtp power]

I was there I got 2 good runs in both were 13.9. Nice time Alex big inporvement of last time. Dex nice run too.

It was pretty fun standing out there in the cold!! So are all those cars breaking down a normal occurance on a cold night?
Jess you'll definately get into the 13s with a good set of tires on. Hope you can bring down that 60' time and that 1sec reaction time ;) I'll be sad when you finally beat my times!

60' 2.01 Sumitomo Crap with no tread left!
1/4 13.67 @ 101mph (How does an automatic miss 3rd gear?!?)
