If the car doesn't hit a 10.99 or better this weekend i'll be up there with ya as long as the weather is good.

If it goes into the 10's i'll probably be there to back it up or lower the ET anyway [Razz]

I'm soooo addicted to the track i just need to live closer [Mad]

Yep. [Smile] Had it out at the track a few times in the last few months.....working out the bugs. Just installed a new Torque converter that seems to be much tighter....hopefully it'll do the trick.

I guess I'll go take the cover off the truck! [Big Grin]
 
Posted by TRIXSNK (Member # 2844) on :
 
Have fun out there guys!

Wish i could go but gotta spend the weekend with the lady (B-Day) [Wink]

Really wanted to hang out and see all the cars run.....hope someone brought a camcorder.

Well, we got the 2 ton vert Cobra into the 10's today, but not by much. I ran a 10.96 missing 4th gear, which I proceeded to miss EVERY RUN! I swear, I just can't drive a car with a T handle shifter to save my life!

All in all, it was a good day at the track. Lots of fast stangs out, not a lot of breakage, (sorry Mark [Frown] ), and some new best times for a few members of the board. I will work on getting the list updated tomorrow, btw.

Oh yeah, Tony, where did you go?

Problems?
 
Posted by twisted54 (Member # 1981) on :
 
I took off early...I lost my oil cap thanks to another backfire. I wasn't paying attention and hit the rev limiter in 2nd. The car seems fine though. I just need a new air filter.

I think that's it for me and racing. What happened to Mark?
 
Posted by 93PONY (Member # 60) on :
 
I hate rev-limiters! LOL

I have both of the stangs limiters set to 7500rpm. One we shift at 6600, the other at 6000.

I ran a new best & am happy with the new converter....seemed to do the trick. Still need to work on my 60fts though.....maybe just a bit more tire & it'll hook....hopefully.

1.679 60ft Launching at 1200rpm
10.52 @132mph & 106mph in the 1/8th.

Damn....I remember when the wife's GT was running no more than 105mph in the 1/4! My how things change.

No I don't think it's blown up. I still have full oil pressure and it sound's like something came loose in the valve cover's like hopefully a rocker came loose or something [Confused] . On a good note I ran consistant 10.9's with a best of 10.906 & best MPH wAS 126.024.
[Whoo Whooooo!]

Nice! I didn't see you back up that 10.98 on the first run of the day. 10.80's now with a little racegas & timing?
 
Posted by SmokinLX (Member # 1684) on :
 
Yeah once I figure out what My problem is I am planning on putting some skinny's on. I ran 4 10.9's today with the only 11 second pass being the one where the problem occured. Your car was running very consistant also [worship] .

When you get it fixed and put some skinnies on that car you are going to pick up some good time.

Again, congads on getting in the 10's! [burnout]

Hey, I had a few first today.

- 1st time I have ever ran a 10 while missing 4th

- 1st time missing more gears than I hit

- 1st time granny shifting to a 10 second pass

- 1st time hitting 2nd twice in one run [Eek!]

- 1st 127 MPH pass

- 1st 100 MPH in the 1/8


Now I just need to go 127 in the 1/4 and 100 in the 1/8 in my own car. [Big Grin]
