    9-29-07 NE Dragway results!

    i took pics of my timeslips, to make this easier

    you may recall my ****ty 14.3 last time i went to the track... that was on 15psi of boost and street tires. this time i had 205 50 15 BFG drag radials

    i did the first run at 18psi start to finish

    broke an axle burning out for my 2nd run. got towed back to the pits and swapped that out...

    decided to run 12psi for burnouts, and 1st gear, i switched to 18 halfway through second (i love my greddy profec b spec 2!). works great! i need to get the remote switch.

    i was doing bracket racing, lucked out and won by default twice (since i broke out EVERY time). first slip is my time trial... second run that i broke on was my 2nd time trial. first race the other guy broke out worse than i did, second race i got a buy (odd number of cars, so i ran alone... automatic win even though i broke out). third race i broke out again and was disqualified. from a field of ~200 cars it was down to just 16 cars in the round where i got knocked out!!!

    anyway... onward to pics!


    Time trial 1 and race 1 (right lane on both. left lane on run 1 was mark's 1gen escort)


    Race 2 and 3 (again right lane on both)



    ***assorted pics of my car and my buddy mark's first gen escort***







    annnnnnnd my drivers side axle PWNAGE!! w00t!

                    nice times. You will notice as your 60' times get better your et's will as well. You got to love the fairly fast mph with no traction early though. My pro ran a best of 13.48 but it was only at 97 mph, and my ranchero ran a best of a 12.49 and that was at 108. Your doing mid to low 13's at 110+ mph. That is mid to low 12's MPH

                              Seriously? The bearing surface on that tri-pod looks almost new. Who did you get the car from... Was it a grocery getter? Because I am seriously surprised at that condition

                              {EDIT} it strikes out I-P-O-D for some reason, TR****
