Wow Brian, Congrats man- that's amazing. I'm sure you drove the heck out of her. What was your 60ft on that pass?

 

Congrats Brian on the new times!

What happened in Puerto Rico last night, anything?

 

Would've, should've, could've.... Damn I am so mad at myself. I guess the saying, "it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks" holds verey true in my situation. Ipurposely short shifetd every gear to avoid the lock out issues I have been warned about. The problem is I was short shifting a red set up LOL.. So basically I was seriously short shifting I felt like I handled the power fine, but just forgot I had alot more rpm to use. It was alot to handle and learn the first time out. The car inches forward now on the two step and I dont have a parking brake or staging brake. No question it will go 8's. I'm guessing 8.80@160. Here is the time slip. Looks like I'm number 2 until procco steps up with a slip

 

Thanks for posting the slip.. COngrats once again.. You did great your 1st time out!!

Procco- do you have the time slip yet from your 166mph run???

Mike

 

9.05 isn't anything to be upset about man- you had a good 60ft and have an amazing setup. You're a HELL of a driver and you KNOW you're going 8's.

It's the time between then and now that's the exciting part.

 

Thanks. Yeah, its just learning a new set up and I have never driven a big(not stock/stock appearing) turbo car and just kept forgetting about all the useful rpm. I watch the vid and its easy to sit here now and go WTF was I thinking. But being behind the wheel in the heat and getting ready launch is a whole nother ball game. Thats why I video everything. I know what I need to do now and have learned from my mistakes... 8's are around the corner. Vids are uploading and you will not believe this car went 9.0 with the way I was short shifting.....

 

Sorry Slorice gunna bump you ...........ooooo so close

Infineon Raceway 6/24/09

E-85 fuel

More to come gotta put a new water pump in.

 

Make sure your HG is still good if you popped the weephole on the waterpump. Most times if the weephole pops then it was caused by combustion gases.

 

Thanks for the helpful words i will run a comp test after we tear down the front assembly.....i'm praying that it's saved from harm as i don't care to take the head off and re-o-ring the block

 

Not a bad looking list there.. 10 of the 15 cars on the list are Buschur Powered.. Us little guys at AWD are just glad to be part of the Team!!!

btw.. Slip will post tomorrow also... Thanks!!

Mike

 

Anyone plan on running in the coming weeks?

 

You think YOU are happy Mike?! Hell I'm dancing over here! I couldn't ask for anyone better to represent us than you guys! Good luck Sunday, I just know you are going to bust out that 8 second run!

 

I am racing tomorrow if the weather holds.
