I can tell you that everyone had new bests today. Some really jumped. I will let them post the results. It was windy with the wind blowing out of the Cajon Pass. Most left after two passes. Vincent, Ben and maybe Brian stayed as conditions were good except for the wind. The track was biting pretty good.

Anways my ET went down slightly to 12.71. However my MPH jumped up to 107.65 for almost a 2mph increase.

Congrats to everybody on their new bests! Thanks to everyone who helped out!

I broke into the 13's! It figures... the one time I forget my helmet!
I got a 13.97 at 97.27 mph on the first pass, and a 13.95 at 97.70 mph. (And a 1.88 60'. )

New mods: a 52mm TB (thanks to Allen), functional shocks (KYB GR2's, thanks Vincent & Don) (& Dave), my very own slicks, (TY to Jerry for helping find some rims) and that super engine cleaning stuff Don used to help get rid of the carbon deposits that were causing pinging.
I didn't dyno yesterday but it definitely picked up between 5-10 hp, mostly with the engine cleaning.

We'll it's my turn. My e.t's are 12.42@111.46, 12.46@111.97 and 12.41@112.24(New best).

Thanks to Kevin for a good chip burn on the dyno and his pops for a good engine build(with my help and some knowledge) for making my car the fastest car in the club with a 355cu in engine.

Everyone has a new best this weekend.

nicely done gents.... i cant wait to get mine to the track... ill be the fastest 91 Convertible!! lol, but thats about it.. lol, hoping for some mid 14's...

I had a great time, I'm glad everyone got a new best, even Vincent.

I finally got a respectable time worth posting.
ET 12.586 / MPH 112.88.

Hopefully once SC3G is back up I can get my time on 'the list'.
I tried another run but messed up the launch. Still need a lot more practice on slicks. When do we go again, I might be moving in March.

Looks like March 22 will be the next race day unless construction of the new track is not finished. I will have to do a race at Dyno Extreme in the meantime to see if I can solve my problem.

JulieGTA

Wow, great, Vincent and Ben! I didn't stick around to see the results...

You can always run the 1/8 Thursdays at Irwindale, Ben. It isn't the same but you can practice leaving the line. Alot. And it's friendlier to street tires.

damn sounds like it was a great day.. was there a tail wind or something??

vincent your car is crazy..

Bens3rdGen

There was defintely wind, weather it was a crosswind or a tail wind is debateable. I think it was a tail wind when Vincent was racing.
Mostly a crosswind through out the day. It did keep things cool which was nice but you did have to steer into a bit sometimes.

well i hope to join you guys in the mid 12's with my white vert it should be back on the road in about two months. i think that will be the fastest vert.

Bens3rdGen

When do verts have to have a cage? Hope it's not 12.99, thought it was 11.99.

Guest

13.99
They dont leave much room for fast with the word convertible.

The track was biting good for once. I did my normal Fontana take off on the first round and noticed how good the hook up was. Hit it harder the next time and set the new times for me. I believe if I had made another pass I could have done better. Same goes for Don and Julie.

I wonder what mine would do with a dyno tune?

As of Jan '05, stock(ish) 'verts running 13.499 and faster in SL require a cage. Once you modify a vert like adding a power-adder, it goes back to the old rule of 13.999.

SchwarzCamaroRS

oh yay... i should be there in no time... doh... oh well... at least on the dyno i hope to keep up... lol
