I would in a heartbeat if I wasn't getting tuned on the dyno today. Gotta get this 11.4 mpg E85 situation under control. It certainly would make for a perfect T&T evening...maybe if I finish early enough I will head out there.

 

Cool I hope to see you up there.

11.4mpg seems about right for E85. I think I get 12city/18 hwy...

 

haha it was actually a turbo my twin disc came from all my bond money growing up

 

you mean like james bond?

 

Any idea if they let you race after the racing has already begun? Do they offer any discount on racing if you get there late? I'd be happy with one or two runs if I broke into the 11's...

 

You can show up anytime you want, but it still costs $25 as far as I know. Last week a few ppl showed up at like 9-930 for a few runs. I imagine it is going to be busy though, with the holiday weekend... so keep that in mind.

Last week it was empty, only 2 lanes of street cars. They had 2 - 1 hour long cleanups and we still got 7 runs.

 

Do they have a waiver ?

 

Waivers required. Haha

 

so anyone going to the shootout?

heres a thread i put together a while ago for those interested

I'll probably be going despite someone hitting my poor bumper the last time out.

 

haha yupp! james bond came to my house and gave me $1500

 

Well, today turned out to be a great day. Belted out 388whp/399wtq on the dyno and then made it down to the track to run a best of 11.71@119.4. Fastest run was prior to that with an 11.72@121.8.

My final run was my lowest ET and ironically also my worst 60ft at 1.79 (spinning all the way through first). I shifted the best and was flying through the 1/8th with a 95mph trap (gained about 4mph compared to my other 2 runs), but I guess it was either knocking or breaking up at upper 7000rpm range because my trap speed was 2 mph lower.

Good times, nice running into EvoIan as well. Good to see his car running strong - although, it looks like his stock clutch is ready to take a vacation.

 

cool man let me know, if nothing else just park in between my truck and evo once at the track

 

Good job Dave! I'm amazed you gained 60 in tq with e85. Next year I may have to make the switch.

 

Good runs dude and a good night for racing! You definitely should've stuck around for that last run! They actually did two more after you left, but I only stuck around for one, which turned out to get me an 11.79@118... 1.75 60' Who ever said the stock clutch is weak? lol

I was just shocked it still grabbed for my last two passes after I attempted that launch on the stationary limiter and smoked it. I guess I won't be getting the twin just yet...
