anybody down?

april 17th, at Sears Point.
I suspect you will need to get there *early* if you want to get in. No pulling in around 5 pm which worked sometimes last year.

assuming I'm not leaking anything, I'll be there [patriot]

look for the guy running 15's and swearing a lot! [Eek!]

I want to get out there, and I don't work that day, so I should be able to get there early. I'll be the guy in the white 02 running 14's probably. That is, if I can get more than 1 run in, otherwise I"ll just be running a 14.

no way a 5.0 that's running on 8 cylinders will do worse than a 15.x [Wink]

get there by 2-3 at the latest [Big Grin]

I agree [Smile] 15.X is what the majority of Sears Point 5.O's run. Even if the track is nicer, they have to start racing heads-up if the racers there are ever going to get a clue on whats fast and whats not. Nothing makes a racer mod faster and wiser than getting burned at the track. You can't argue or make exuses about a print-out [Smile]

I'm taking the day off from work so I can see what my 01 performance red cobra convert will run in the quarter. If I run in the 13teens, I could get thrown out for not having a roll bar. I just hope I don't get fucked by sears point and only get one run! Any body ben told to leave for running quicker than 14:00 in a convert with out a roll bar?

I still have a minor oil pan leak (maybe 2-3 drips a minute) contemplating being a nice guy and not ruining the track for everyone else. That's probably my best bet. H20 leak gone though.

I ran shitty times and ALL 4 runs I had 2.2-2.4 60' times [Frown]
The traction there SUCKS.

2.30 : 60' : 2.39
6.05 : 330' : 6.08
9.08 : 1/8 : 9.10
81.07 : MPH : 81.53
13.956 : 1/4 : 13.960
100.75 : MPH : 101.20


Let me know if that was your buddy!
