Bench racing, 9/17 Predictions Options

[JMoushon]

I'm curious, who all is going, and what will you run?

My guess? 13.8 @ 105. Optimistic, but I think it's possible.

My other guesses:
awd4kicks: FWD 14.37 @ 100.6
Spy: 12.762 @ 110.5
Nate: 11.999999999 @ 119.8
Gross: 12.000000000 @ 119.8 hehehehehehe

Who else will be there?

[Coiled]

Looking to go 12.2-12.5 range depends on if i see full boozt this time

[Kazz5]

Praying for a 13.2 ...

[JMoushon]

I was not putting you down, but I know you have been fighting those injectors for like 3 weeks. I want you to run in the 11s. I hope you do. Git-r-dun!

[lawngsx]

Just for comparisons sake. I have a friend that is running the same ic as you Spy, small 16g, 550's, 2g mas and a stock engine with 120,xxx miles on it and ran a 12.3 @ 114. This was without his stutter box which for some reason stopped working and drag radials that he couldn't even get to break lose....oh yea, and race gas. With that mph, we were guessing that he should be closer to an ~11.8. As long as you are still running that EVO 3 turbo, I don't see why you shouldn't see 11 runs.

[awd4kicks]

Although a 14.37 @ 100mph sounds pathetic to me, I feel this is a very close guess for my cheap and free modded FWD daily driver. I'm looking for 14.4's.

We will see this Sunday you Biatches!

[eclipgst]

And everyone is fearing for there lives spy! Oh my god, what turbo and new setup does s.h.i.t. talker have!? Id better go get some nawssss! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I think his new turbo resembles more of a garbage disposal for cars... idea being that it sucks the opponents car in, grinds it to bits, then shoots it out the tailpipe in a massive smoke cloud. Can't loose as long as the other car is behind you!!

If I can get my car done in time, can someone spot me their helmet for a run or 3?

If it fits, sure!

Thanks man, I've still got to swap out my valve cover and hopefully that fixes most of my oil leak problem. Then on to my boost leak.

More duct tape?

if it doesn't fit... I have 3 helmets layin around.... you pick

[SCCA Stang]

I wish I could go and participate gentlemen, oh, and ladies (sorry spy) however work calls and paychecks precedent..... wish I could come on out

[Coiled]

Don't worry too much about having a helmet, they're pretty lax about it as long as you're in street trim.

[Kazz5]

Hmmm, newly installed boost gauge says I'm a few PSI short ... sucks ... leaks? Dunno that I'll figure it out before Sunday.

Ah well, worst case, I'll have to get a BOV/DV and run at the next drag event to compare, right? See ya tomorrow anyway!

Want more boost? Remove the bcs restrictor. There are instructions on evolutionm on how to do this. Real easy to do and it should give you about 2 more psi throughout the RPMs. Free horsepower!

Hell, if you want, bring some extra vacuum line and some wrenches on Sunday and I'll help you out.

[JMoushon]

Dan, you suck pooper.

[ranta18]

Dan, I'll race my CRX against you if you race your car.

I was at Battle of the Imports in Joliet today and it SUCKED. Not that many cars. Darrell was there running in the 9's. There were a few good cars, but it just wasn't worth the drive.

There was this 1st gen Eclipse there that ran 11's and it was an auto! It was a regular looking street car too. Funniest thing going down the track because it was the smoothest DSM I've ever seen. When most of you guys run your car has some violent weight transfer from front to back when shifting. This guy had his nose up the whole time.

[JMoushon]

Spy has an auto 1g that I'm trying to get him to mod. Probably feel a lot like a Cyclone (S-10 turbo).

didn't those cyclones hold some kind of record for a while, like fastest production street truck... I think it is still in the top 5 followed by the new Ram SRT 10, Ford Lightning, Dodge Dakota R/T,

[JMoushon]

13 second quarters and sub 5 seconds to 60. Has to be some kind of record.

[JMoushon]

Great day today, beautiful weather. Hit my original goal, wish I would have had more time to tune. Waiting 45 minutes between runs due to a stock sidemount sux.

RT .229
60' 2.261
330 5.930
1/8 9.000
MPH 79.05
1000 11.601

1/4 13.812
MPH 101.32

So I got into the 13s, happily, but I wanted a 13.6. Oh well, still on stock turbo, i/c, injectors. Lot's of room to improve. Ran at 15psi. Big props to Krack, for the event and for piloting the DD to a 14.2X. Awesome. Lots of fast cars, lots of cool people. Nate ran in the low 12s (again) and made the track an oil slick (again). Gross did the same, minus the oil slick part. Spy sucks, brought the T/A and did not run (scared). NCGalant ran well, minus anything resembling traction. I think he got a 13.3 at like 188 million MPH, with a 2.6 second 60'. Puts him in the 12s easily with good tires.

I don't know who all ran what, so please fill in the blanks!

[awd4kicks]

A BIG thanks to Cordova Dragway everyone for coming out and struting your shiznit! Looks like there was a total of 26 total racers today.

It was fun! I was one of the slower guys out there but I got to beat down a Mustang or two. I was actually able to get the lil FWD DD down to a 14.1. Heres the slip:

R/T .469
60' 2.243
330 6.105
1/8 9.276
MPH 77.50
1000 11.936
1/4 14.165
MPH 100.73

MBC @ +/- 16psi, 2.5" pressbent cat back, 2.25 resinator in place of cat, free mods, and 110 octane. Everything else is stock and nearly full weight...Simple mixture and good results.

Brian From Slo Pony ran the quickest times which were in the 11.4 range! He lost the fastest car cash prize due to a loose battery cable though. Joe Descamps won the fastest car prize in a 1964 bracket racing GTO that he drove to a 12.0x win. Only one other car was able to break into the 11's today and that was in a 66ish Chevelle that looked like it should have been running 10's. He actually lost to the GTO, but did get to the finish line before Akamiami due to a problem at the launch.

It's strange how 12.0 seems to be a point of reconning for most of those that partake at these DSMCentral/Slo Pny events!

Anyway I had a great time look forward to seeing you all and then some next year. Having an entire manned dragstrip at your disposal for four hours is incredible!!!

[akamiami]

What a blast. My favorite race was when I ran a 14.4 to the bracket racer that ran 11.965. If I hadn't cut a wicked 3.6 60' it would have been a hell of a race.

14.1 on that fwd is amazing marcus, you da man.

great event, hell of a lot of fun.

I can't find my slips but when I do I'll post my best. Overall, the car was solidly low 12's with a few flirts with better, but averaging solidly in the low/mid 12 range. Consistently performing well and staying together so I'm very pleased.

[Kazz5]

F&*$#ing deer...

Uncovered mangled lower intercooler piping from my inadvertent rally attempt keeping my boost down by 3-5psi by my guess. I couldn't even break into the 13s. Ah well, repairs and then this spring I'll be looking for low 13s again I guess!

Great event, great weather, great folks - thanks all!

[ncgalant]

Our race would have been way better if we came in together. Next time perhaps..

[wortdog]

Didn't quite make it into the 11's, managed a new best of a 12.18 @ 112.09 with a 60ft of 1.74. My car was launching so much better this time compared to last time's 2.0+. Thank you Bilstein.

Bring it to the spring event and I'll save a lane for ya right next to me, OK?

You car was rolling hard man, def looked a lot better out of the hole. I could only muster a 12.830@110 damn the lack of boost and linelock to get those crappy drag radials heated.

[natedogg]

It was fun. I got one run in. 12.05 @ 115

Next run put oil on the track. Ended my day and delayed everyone elses. Sorry 'bout that everybody. Too much crankcase pressure is a bad thing. Time to test some things out. On a positive note that 12.05 was run at only 24 psi. On the 112 oct. that I was running at the track I can usually run up to 30 psi without knocking depending on track temp. Guess I'll have to wait til either Vicary day or next year to break 11's.
