Guys, I had a f*cking blast today even though the Eagle didn't want to fly. I got to meet alot of people and some I didn't, and sorry that I didn't get to.
Marcus, I am glad to have meet you today and I just wanted to say thanks for making this happen. My best 60' was .443 My best run was 14.769 My top speed came on the last run I made. I finally hit 95 mph Now mind you these are all different runs. The 60' was my second run of the day, Don't know how that happened. I was running way to lean when I got there. Other than that I had a great time and would LOVE to do it again. Sign me up now Marcus, LOL. I also have to thank asiankid and ncgalant for all there help today. I very much appreeciate all the tuning that ncgalant did on my car. -------------------- |

Great time Marcus! Sorry the intercooler didn't work out. Your day will come buddy.
For me, it was the first time ever drag racing at the strip, first time ever launching an AWD car, and my only goal was to break 13 seconds. The last (fifth) run of the day I ran a 13.925@97MPH with a 1.9 60ft. My reaction was sucking it up all day lingering around the .400 range though. During that run I beat one of the guys I came with, the turbo Suby Forester wagon. Although, I can't say that I beat him fair and square, he missed a 1-2 shift and had been running faster times all day. Thanks NCGalant for your tuning advice. Despite the MAF hacking, it's still running incredibly rich but, there's not much I can do until I get a new fuel system. I had a great time and I'm ready to go back next year! http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/showphoto...&cat=500&page=1 -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

I've got a two wheel dolly Jim. All you need to do is disconnect the main driveshaft at the rear end and bungee the driveshaft up. PM me for more info.

Wish I could have been there. Some last minute problems and miscommunications popped up. My fault for not finding the problem sooner though. Oh well, I've got a big winter project ahead of me that should lead to a fun car for next spring.

The Sport Compact Drag Chanllenge continues to be a success here at the end of 2005!
I can't thank you all enough for your participation! We roughly had 30 racers and about as many spectators. The staging lanes were always open. No accidents occured and a good time was had by most everyone. A special thanks goes out to Spyder99 for haulling my Talon all the way to Cordova and back for nothing more than practice. I also need to thank him, NCGalant, his girlfriend, Spyonu2007 for helping check folks in at the gate. Spy and Turbohcar also helped my find my massive boost leak, ending any thoughts of racing. With the good weather, knowing my engine and turbo were still in good shape...helped the day turn out great! The $50 Fastest race car was entered and won by a single Plymoth Duster Showalter won the $50 fastest street car award with his 11.28 @ 117 1997 Integra Our own Susan Hudson won the $100 bracket eliminations the the 3000GT We will be scheduling two more events for next year. For now plan on another Slo Pny Drag Day and of course DSMCentrals SCDC! Warmer dates to be announced in the near future. I look forward to more people taking advantage of this good time in the years to come. For every racer it's like owning the race track for $35 to run as you please! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Marcus, I kept feeling that breeze you were talking about on your legs just before you found the split intercooler. Your BOV gives off so much air when it's actuated, that's why I thought it was leaking prematurely. BTW, what size intercooler pipe are you running? If it will fit, I may buy those couplers for the GM MAF from you since you're going to the 3.5 inch sensor if thats allright.
