rt. lane win over stock '02 Acura RSX in lt. lane(9.652 @ 76.1mph)



UPDATE: 2/19/05 - Farmington, NC - mid 50's, low humidity - rt. ln.

Ran as soon as I got there after an hour drive, and didn't even drop air from the rear 35psi Firestones. It was my first time at this track so I didn't realize I'd passed the timing building until it was too late to get my slip. The guy in the other lane got it so I checked it out when we spoke, I don't remember all the numbers, but:

Reac: .671
60': 2.009
1/8th: 8.646
MPH: 85.8

Just an 1/8th mile track so that's all I got once again. Well, one more thing, I beat the built 351 mid 80's 'stang in the lt. lane. It was close(his e.t. was in the 8.6s too), but I got a holeshot to lead the whole way!!! It was my only run of the day and my first in several months, at a track anyway , so I was pleased with my efforts and even more with the car. Just flipped 100,000 miles 5 days before!

On the 87, can't find the slip but it was 15.3 @ 89.92 early last year. Haven't taken it to the track yet this year. Gateway International Raceway

13.6@105.4 with a .532 reaction and it was MY FIRST TIME EVER AT THE TRACK lol it was AWESOME

Got a new 1/4 time








How about







12.91
on Kumho 18'' street tires!!!

Well the track opened up here again for the season. I took the 97 since the 99 is in pieces right now and the 87 my daughter was using.

My 97 had a best slip of 13.88 last year but it averaged around 14.1 (I know, that's slow), but that was with the 2.73 gears in it. This year I've got 3.42 gears and nothing else new so far.

Weather was on the cool side (45* with a strong NW wind). Got a new best with it though.

R/T - .235
60' - 1.939
330' - 5.657
1/8 - 8.741
MPH - 78.95
1000' - 11.44
1/4 - 13.728
MPH - 98.85

Not bad for it's first run with the new gears.

Oh and if it would have been an 1/8 mile track instead of a 1/4 mile track there would be a newer SVT Cobra owner crying in his beer tonight. I had him until just after that, then he passed me. But he didn't win by much - 12.97 to my 13.72.

What kind of tires and suspension mods do you have to cut those 60ft times?

Fri, 3/18

This is looking better now that I got most of it fixed, still have to get the suspention done.

Off the bottle

Rt .300 (pro tree)
60' 2.0
1/8 8.7
mph 80.9

only run I got in, we had the outlaw 10.5 cars this weekend and there was like 400+cars out there.

still don't know what she will do "ON" the bottle.

Took the 99 for a "shake down" run at the track here. I didn't want to go all out with her since the motor isn't completely broken in yet (only have 1600 miles on it since it all went back together). I can tell she has alot more in her though then what she ran.

On Nittos

R/T - .326

1000' - 10.811
1/4 mile - 12.900
MPH - 108.22

Now to get my R/T and 60' lower, some ET Streets and get myself used to racing the 99 since I usually run the 97 and I'll be good to go.

My best:

12.22 @ 110.18 with a 1.74 60ft.

That was with a 25MPH headwind. I'll be back to the track soon hunting for 12.0s. The car has trapped at 111.97 so it has a LOT more.

Got a new fastest time on the 97 this past weekend at the drag races at Mooresville Dragway during F-body Motorsports show.

The track there is 1/8th mile:

R/T - .391 (I know that sucks but I'm not used to the tree)
60' - 1.950
1/16th mile - 5.718
1/8th mile - 8.809
mph - 79.068

Changing the 1/8th mile time/mph over to 1/4 mile, I ran a new best of 13.65 @ 99.068.

Got another new time this week - with my 99. Woo Hoo

Gateway International Raceway, temp 85 degrees, humidity 82%

New tuning on it a week old so I'm still learning and relearning how to drive it - again.

R/T - .250 (I know it sucks)
60' - 1.989
330' - 5.460
1/8 mile - 8.289
MPH - 87.76
1000' - 10.713
1/4 mile - 12.788
MPH - 108.51

All I can say is what a big difference a good tune makes. Now if I could just get it to hook I'd be doing great.

well good and bad,

new time

2.1 60'
8.7 1/8
86 mph (whoa!)


off the bottle, but clutch was slipping

got stupid, even tho I knew the clutch was going.
Tried on the bottle 125 shot.
fried my clutch can you say 9.2 at 81pmh with a 2.0 60'

so I pulled the 6 speed, and should have the new auto in by this weekend.

New best for me. But it cost me, broke out big time one race away from the semi finals Friday night. Dialed in on a 13.15.

13.018 @ 107, 2.030 60ft, .033 R/T.

I'm shooting for a 12 before the season ends.

Then it's on to 11.5 next year. That is the ultimate goal. 5177 kit, headers, cam, rockers, springs and a converter, that should do it.

Well its not much, but it is a completly stock base model. I figured some of the 3rd gen owners might get a kick out of it.

I know, not much, but its a baseline. I am more concerned with handling and topend. I will be getting to the engine eventually, but for now, its suspension. Then I want to go autocrossing, and to the ECTA.

My first run ever in mid summer was a 15.651 . With a 373 posi , alot of tuning and better driving skills i got it to a 13.8 , which coincidentally was my goal for the season

Ran a 12.97 @ 103.71 with a 1.79 60ft at the end of last season. Currently, i just added Hooker LT's and ORY and a TNT wet kit spraying a 100 shot

1988 Formula 350:

Didn't actually post this time, but I found it in the car so we'll say it belongs with it. Being all stock near as I can tell, I would suspect the left lane would be the car.
