Paulie congrats on your car and it takes a real man to admit defeat. Nothing a few more modding dollars can't fix!

 

Scott, thanks for taking the time to analyze and verify the data! Strange that we all had elevation drops over the runs as we ran on the exact same stretch of concrete... Point taken on the Z as well, I just thought it had a much lower time in it.

Until next time folks!

Peter

 

Ryan, no problem bud! I hope you start coming out and joining us when we have "car related" events here in Houston. We do them about once a month and we always have a blast! The next 60-130 event will be in a month. Hope to see you there...
Peter

 

Thanks Scott,

I realize that you probably have about 100 and 1 more important things to do right now than analyze my runs, so it is appreciated.

Buddy, R-compounds (I am running the new Nitto 0-1's...awesome dry tire) and rain definately don't mix.

 

Great Stuff guys, love the real life competition (vs bench racing which all of us
are good at). Peter, thank you for being involved in 6speed and the Porsche world,
these Supra's are really something when set up properly!
Sean, nice run and 3-4 shift!

Did this take place at a 1/4 mile track?

 

yes Mark, it did.

 

Peter, Dennis got a video of your car. Car sounds good.

Also something about DJ's Vette. It still has a lot left in it. Something to think about is our weather down here is horrible. In these conditions (at the same track) my brother went an 11.0 or 11.1 @ 127 and in 60-70* its been 10.9s @ 130 (babying it) and in ~50* it went 10.55s @ 128 (letting out, went a 105.7 in the 1/8th). I know Dennis's car will pick up a decent amount of time with a good drop in the weather.

We plan on making the next one because the weather should be better and hopefully neither one of us will be sick (Matt has had something like the flu since Thursday). John is still going to be doing them monthly or every few months, correct?

 

What were the temps like?

 

Here is the Weather.com break down of yesterday.

True, bro...but so will everyone else's. Especially the turbo cars.

 

Oh I agree 100%. Weather is such a ****ty factor to rely on here in Houston

I wish it was already 50*-60* during the day like up north. This 90*+ weather is really getting old.

Hope your doing well out there. Be safe man.

 

Yea, I think the next time we go out there ALL of us will have improvements in our time. The next event will be Saturday October 27th and I hope to see more of you there! Hopefully it won't be hot, humid and rainy next time...

Peter

 

Buddy i will see you at the Texas Mile. Thanks,I think i will get better @ 60-130 next time. I discovered it is better to only do one shift instead of two like i was doing yesterday.

 

We did mine in 88 degrees... 4.78 on the highway without burnouts.
You guys should try on the street to see if there is a difference... maybe the added cooling since one is driving will lower the numbers... just a thought.
