The car is still "slow" relatively speaking but is a great daily driver. I am building a Supra for my fast car!

WTF is wrong with you...I am in and out of the hospital all week, and all you can do is bleat on about some imaginary race?

 

Tired ol Vette couldn't make it in the 9s today. 4x 10 sec passes all either aborting it early or pedaling it with a ****ty launch. Best pass of the day was a 10.1 @ 144. His 60-130 was only a 5.5, but his best has been a 5.2 (and his best mph has been 147 with the nitrous on a 5sec build time). Oh well we are going to probably have to go to Baytown. I love Lonestar, but the track prep on the big end was very poor today (and it's not a event geared for cars on slicks, so I didn't expect it to be). Plus the groove today seemed very small because Matt would get out of it a lot. Then again there was no real rubber laid down. At TX2K events though John has the track prepped like a bad *****, so we either need to do it at that event or Baytown (since it is closer for us).

Thanks again Peter for hosting a bad *** event! The car runs bad ***. It was hard to keep the secret with everyone pestering me about it LOL! Hopefully I'll have the Porsche at the next one.

 

Very respectable times guys. Peter, I was only able to pull a 11.3 @125mph with the GTR with a 1600DA and 90 degrees and very similar set up. Great job!! Very impressive on what Todd's car did also, with a 133mph you can easily dip into low 10's also. Glad things went safe and sound. Great write up guys and great info as usual.

 

Powell - thanks for coming out and supporting the event, I think this was actually the most highly attended event we've ever had. I think everyone was about 0.5 seconds off their best as the temp was still a bit too high to get the "best" times out of our cars.

art - thanks bro!!!

Sean - oh lord, do I have to keep putting you in your place over and over and over and over????

3. Speak to our friend Paul, he tried warning you against accepting the challenge, but in typical Sean fashion you spoke first and then decided to think....and the bottom line is, it bit you in your a$$.

Now, where is my $200?

Who did the work on Bob's Viper? Is it comparable to Tim's blue beast? Congrats a great showing yesterday.

Wow, what a wild ride. Turned out my new DR's had over 50lbs of air. Luckily the famous Zach and Powell bros were there to help. So, we drained over half the air out of each tire and hooked great after. I am lucky this wasn't WAYY worse. But I'm here to amuze y'all.

We had a great turnout as Peter said. I will post all of the times later today. In the meantime, enjoy my spin.

Here is the graph of the spin.

damage.

 

Thanks to Peter for arranging this event. My car ran a best of 7.7 with a few 7.9s and some 8s. (2004 z06)

Quarter mile was 11.7 at 127 and change, but 3-4 shift has been a problem on all runs.

Maybe I have a bent shift fork as I have had probs on the 3-4 for the last year and 1/2? But I think it is more likely that the clutch is heating up the hydraulics and not disengaging quick enough.

Anyhow awesome event and looking to one more if and when the weather cools down a bit.

Consider this official notice that you have eight (8) lives left.

 

Hey Rich, it was great to see you again. Your car is really strong. Thanks again for coming out, you are always welcome.

I should probably change my name to El Gato...

Good to see you again and cool vid. Peter was obviously having traction issues with the launch. Both cars are really quick, but I think you edge him out on HP a bit?? However, he may have the AWD advantage, but there was no payoff for him when you guys ran.

 

Holy craptacular!!! They should have had an underwear vendor there!!! Glad most of the damage was ego. Were you trying to brake boost the first 100-150 feet?

FYI. I run about 15-16psi in my DR's.

 

Now I keep an extra pair of underware in my glove box.

Yea, I was running them at 22lbs.. When I ran the 10.70, it hooked perfectly.

 

Oh, I forgot. I ran a CBR1000R on the highway from 60-150 DEAD even. I had a 300lbs passenger and 50lbs of other gear in the trunk.

 

Todd see if you can get any videos of Matt's car off the Camera please
