I may come and spectate.

I had to send my PMS back to EFI Systems to have it fixed, so my car is running without a tune right now which equals none of this ---->

There really wasn't that many people there, but considering it was as hot as it was I didn't there to be as many as there were.

I swear to god I almost blew a gasket when a damned old school muscle car wouldn't start and his friend in a bucket assed station wagon pulled into the only clear lane to jump him and blocked a bunch of us off. I ended up going around and jumping the curb to at least get my run in so I didn't have to wait another hour for them to pull my lane again. I normally wouldn't mind but after the 3rd time these pieces of shit blocked me in I got a little ticked.

I ran like shit for my mods but at least i know what is wrong and how to correct it. Grats to those who ran well depsite the horrible DA... 1790-2800ft. above sea level

First run. 7:45 and about 85+ degrees. Ran 10.38 @ 131.785 all motor. decent 60' of 1.53. not my best but the tires are bald.

Second run. Did he just purge? First bottle pass ever on this motor, hit it a couple hundred feet out. 9.856 @ 141.43 with an even worse 1.62 60'. And i was occupying the entire lane for anyone that saw me. that was almost 9:00. still warm

Last run. Bottle still on. hit it about 80-100 feet out. 1.55 60' and a 9.69 @ 143.88 going pretty straight. ran out of gear at about the 1000' but stayed in it. that was at 10:00.

when i left the track at 11, it was still 83 degrees out so i think the car will go faster, especially if i hit it out of the hole. but with those tires i didn't want to chance it.

9.69 good shit

how much will the 60' drop with new tires, is a 1.40 gonna happen with some good air and a good track

that car is really gonna move outta the hole on the juice

i have run a 1.49 on motor with a smaller converter so a low 1.4 is doable. also will probably switch to a 3.50 gear

---

is the juice at full tilt yet, or were the small jets in today

i think there is alot more left in the car, the only thing that is gonna hold the et back is your rear suspenion, if i remember what u have back there

next question is when are u gonna race the mullet ride

I was there last night runnin' my 93. The new clutch was everything RAM said it'd be, unfortunately my head gasket wasn't up to the task. I was a full second off my best.

Sorry to hear that John.

We know it wont take you long to fix that head gasket tho Hell, I'd much rather have to change a head gasket than find an electrical problem, (which is what I'm having to do with my car ).

Did you end up getting the RAM 900?

BlkPina, that was me and my girl, and I parked my Lightning outside, but I was kinda disappointed with the silver Lightning that ran a best of like 13.9.... I will be testing my new setup on either the 11th or 18th of september and hope to see more cafords members out there... But it seems that the sac raceway has turned into a family place (A lot of kids and families there)...it was a good time though... Some nice mustangs out there!!!

Posted by 91 5.0 5speed (Member # 1867) on :
 
I did not run very well with my cobra I think I need alot more practice with my launches and shifting this car. My best was a 13.6 at 104 with a 2.4 60ft I kept either giving it too much throttle =wheel hop or too little throttle=bogging off the line. I was the slowest 03-04 cobra their But their is always next time.

Posted by jayl (Member # 185) on :

Glad to hear you have an fast old school piece of shit..

I sold my piece of shit before I could get it into the 9's. Ask McCleski

You're Justin right? I was the guy in the white coupe, good race man. That was some funny shit, too bad I lost to a truck!

Hey man!

You only lost to a truck because I got you at the tree. Your ET was 1 10th better than my best for the night so no matter what you are still faster

Hope to see you out there again sometime.

Posted by Dizzy (Member # 884) on :
 
I was there

that was so gay how they closed the track so early.. me and some friends showed about 9 and one got 2 runs and the other had problems getting his car to start and only got 1 all that for $35 and 2 1/2 hours of driving there

but still worth it to see Robs run

Posted by jayl (Member # 185) on :
 
anyone know what that fast white coupe on the draglites had??? 5spd car , launched like crazy and ran 10.70's @ 131
 

---

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :
 
Drew- ya, I got the 900. It is WELL worth it. No crazy pedal pressure either! About the same as an FMS heavy-duty.

The white Coupe? Had a Novi 2000 w/ 16lbs!
 

---

Posted by jayl (Member # 185) on :
 
sweet that car was bad ass!! 306/347? any idea what cubes?
 

---

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :
 
Supposedly it's the original 120,000+ mile 302 shortblock. O-ring'd edelbrock heads, crane 2030 cam. RPM intake. 50 shot to cool the intake charge. Thats it.

Thats cool John. I really Like that clutch when I had it even though it is not an extremely popular clutch. As a matter of fact, I may be ditching my twin disc clutch to go back to the RAM 900, but we'll see.
