Anyone going? I just put on my DR's so I will be there for sure!

(p.s. I cannot believe the ginormous difference DR's make, simply incredible)

 

I may go. I live so close to the speedway, it will be hard to pass up. I will probably just spectate though.

 

If im not workin Im gonna try to stop through. Maybe get a little turbo ride along action LoL

 

I'm probably going to run tomorrow night.

 

sweet, looks like a good showing. I will be there a little after 7.

 

im workin 8-4 so I should be able to head on out. Maybe I will take out the subs and spare tire and see if i can break the 14's LOL

 

supras invade las vegas is this week, so you know this will be used as a test and tune for saturday...

 

sweet! I can;t wait to see them I have personally never seen a highly modded Supra run at the track, but from what I understand they are known as dyno queens.

 

dana is rumored to be hitting the 7's this week...

 

^^I hope the new rear end holds up.

Ty, let me know if you're gonna need a hand.

 

Bets on me beating Rob's 12.5 tonight??

Odds are this is only my 3rd time ever at the track, I have less torque (5lbs.) I have wider DR's (285 vs. 275) and its hella hotter outside (I think he ran in early to mid Spring to get that time)

 

I was hoping that it would be cool tonight like it was last week.

 

actually my 12.515 was on June 7th - late in the evening around 10pm or so. It's all about the 60'. If you can get under 2.0 in 60', you'll be able to get around 12 seconds.

 

as a side note, i think there is a huge Viper group in town. at lunch today, i saw at least 20 of them w/ out of state plates heading out to the Red Rock area. maybe they'll come out and race.

 

They're staying at the Venetian. They've got 2 floors of the parking garage reserved. Supposed to be aruond 700 in town.


I'll be out there, but not in my car. I'm riding with my roommate in his 700HP Camaro. I spent the day getting the car ready (new fuel hoses in the tank, new plugs, MT tires mounted).

 

I dont know. I take out my subwoofers, spare tire, and traded my 275 pound asian brother for a 100 pound asian chick, and I'm still runnin 15.5! Grrrrrr.

 

If you were wondering why I dipped out early, the guys that put on my DR's did not put enough bead sealer on and I broke a bead on my passenger side tire. I went there at 8:30 this morning and got it fixed. THe best time I got last night was a 12.737 with a 2.1 60' at 111mph. Next time !

And I must give props to that blue Supra, that was just sick fast! It was kind of strange though because it did not sound like he changed gears at all.

 

In case anyone was wondering the conditions for last night at 9:00p were:

91.9 degrees
24.1 dew point
30.01 in/Hg pressure

Which translates into a NHRA correction factor of .9419 for E.T. and 1.0619 for trap speed.

I ran a 13.467 @ 104.71

which is a corrected 12.684 @ 111.19.

Which is still way slower than I think I should be running.

 

Mid 12s is fast Ty.

 

I want to be running mid 12s without the correction factor.

 

So corrected thats mid-high 11s...Thats built motor territory my friend. I think you are right on with your setup.

 

I did 2 runs, both were about 14.7 @ 97 mph. Which is corrected for 13.8 @ 103 mph. My car is so much easier to drive now, once it's launched just keep it punched.

Apparently a 800hp Supra hit the wall after we left, see the link....

That was not the 8 second Supra thank god!

 

Sweet, how do I correct my times?

 

Subtract .9419 from your E.T. and add 1.0619 mph to your trap.
