11.8x@ 126. The M/T drag radials didnt work out for me and my driving wasn't all that either. But it was good enough to win the Power Adder class. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Good race with JohnB. Just too bad that the other Fords could't make it. Whether its the 65 dollar entrance fee or the time, I thought the Ford guys would be down to race the LS1 guys. I know the faster cars on here had mechanical problems but where were all the other Fords?
Well it was fun, weather was nice and cool, I got to practice in the Cobra, the staging lanes was moving fast. And had a nice UNLIMITED BBQ all day long. Finally got to tune the IROC while racing the yellow Viper and the tubbed 240z in the Outlaw class. Those were good runs too. Well shit happens and I hope CAFords gets invited next year.
hey that tubbed 240z really wanted to run you but his hood scoop was on his windshield when he finished his 1st run against the other car in the first round of outlaw, wingnuts fell off, who knows why
once he gets the nitrous tuned he would love to have a race with you again at the track

my excuse for not showing up are as followed...
1. I like to race at night.(to hot during the day)
2. Im not a morning person.
3. My dumbass was under the impresion ford vs cheby was at night.
4. From 8:00am to 1:00pm i was working on the car just to finish it on time.
5. did i mention im not a morning person.
i did make it to grudge night tho, but i get the impression that maybe i should of just stay at home...i apoligize to the event organizers...fuck no, im not a fraid of any ls1, ill still race him even if it runs 8's... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Ok, first off....excuses are like assholes..you know the rest. The BS about it being a 2 hour drive is lame. Most on this site jump peoples shit about not making a damn car show in SJ, nevermind living in Sac...so it's BS. Second, if you were serious about running, and didnt like the rules/classes/etc...you'd have said something. I'm sorry, but if folks like Gixxer can come up from SJ, everyone else can too. What it boils down to is this...those who have running cars didn't show, for whatever reason...and that reason sucks the big one. I got my ass up at 6 am..and it was to represent. Period.

Does he want to race the Cobra or the IROC? We'll be back at the track soon or tell him we can do it at the next grudge.

no he wants the iroc, it was a 9.80 car on a decent pass last night, but the tune wasnt there and that was with a 1.55 60', so when the tune is down and he nails the launch like usual he might have a chance
he usually goes to the grudges so that would probably be the next time

I ran my slow ass vert it was a fun event even tho alot of fords flaked out. I agree with jon and chris, if you said you were gonna show you should have showed. In the beginning there was a lot of people that said "im in", where the fuck were you? If the rules were a problem then you should have said something. I personally had 15 runs all day. So everyone who didnt show missed out.

What happened with John 91's car?????
wiring problem, fuel wasn't getting to the injectors, had fuel pressure just no fuel coming out of the injectors. ![[Frown]](frown.gif) It sucks cause we stayed a while and figured john's 91 coupe was the 2nd fastest car there. Only one chevy had a chance of beating john and it was that outlaw Iroc that ran a 9.53 ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

i was there with a few other mustangs and props to them who came out, but i feel it was bullshit that the planning for this has been going on since january and people from this board should have spoken up if they didnt agree with shit.
but when some people said something all they did was cry about shit instead of trying to help with a solution.
i was out there representing and my car was running like shit but i still represented.
oh well maybe next year us ford guys can maybe put some more input on how we can make this fair for everyone with an agreement.
So that was your car. Dude what was it backfiring for? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
thats what im trying to figure out
it wasnt doing that before. it could be too much fuel,not enough ignition, im stumped, but on another note i have some parts on order and im hoping the back firing issue can be figured out.
whats a trip though is i had normal 91 octane in it when it was backfiring, so when i got low enough on fuel i added some 103 in it and it stopped doing it ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
and i also tried some et drags on the car for the first time and lost almost 6 mph over my nitto's
has your car been dyno tuned?
im about to swap out the cams and put new ones in and add some more parts and after that im just gonna tune with a wide ban, and real time street use fuck dyno tuning it,im gonna tune it my self with some help of some others here on the board with a pms ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

120ish? he must have definitely let off at the last 100 feet or something. That was definitely the fastest car there and then if we had john's car running it would have been the 2nd fastest.

We'll be there this weekend. Find out if he'll be there. We can line up again.
