I got a new best too...80.6 mph finally, but I did worse on the 60' and ET. Taking out the air filter slowed me down. Very slim showing as well. Oh, and I had to identical runs of 16.979.

The first video is your favorite I think...I missed most of the burnout because I didn't realize you got up there so fast.

GP99GT 05-07-2008 09:01 PM

is that a chirp i hear going into 3rd in the first video? i didnt even know i chirped 2nd actually :lol:

also i like the 1-2 in the 2nd one...sounds like an automatic hahah

wow that's a huge improvement in the trap man. 95 to a 99! that's awesome. i was pretty damn dissapointed in my two runs. my previous best was a 14.7@95 but with a horrible 2.44 60 foot. i figured a 2.2 60 would drop me to like a 14.5. nope. 2.000 60 on the dot and still ran the same time 14.7@95 i think i may have let off too soon. i let off before the red light went on. o well. it was fun.

Did you pull in around 730? And have messed up pass side gfx? I think I walked out to my truck as you were pulling in. Near a grey lumina or something.

79CamaroDiva 05-08-2008 12:05 AM

glad to see you guys got some new bests! the air was definitely very good tonight.

JerzyIroc 05-08-2008 12:37 PM

Ya that was my pos. it was a berretta and he actually ran it lol. he's got an 11 sec srt4 though so it was just for fun. Here's the funny thing... there was a nova with us. lol the beretta actually trapped higher than the nova.

Mike 05-08-2008 12:46 PM

jerzeyiroc, you might have experienced the elevation change and weather change....

im SURE last night was hotter and more humid than a few weeks ago at etown. and island is a higher elevation.

that 2.0 in the same conditions at the same track WOULD have improved your times

What elevation is Etown? Isn't Island like 250 feet above sea level? It was pretty warm, like 74 degrees. My truck was feelin the heat. The air was great, if only it was a bit cooler.

IIRC, e-town's right about at sea level, and Atco's a tad below that

JerzyIroc 05-08-2008 01:31 PM

lol like 0 feet above sea level. seriously though its like at sea level or somethin. it was definatly cooler when i ran at etown. i was just a little pisse cuz the first thing i looked at was my 60 foot an saw that it was .2 better. i was expecting like a14.5 at the most. so i was upset to say the least. i also let off the throttle just a hair before that cross box. i remember i saw the red light go on but i definatly let off before that. so i dunno. im definatly gonna go to the next one. either way it was a lot of fun. hopefully i can get there a lot earlier and meet some of you guys. it was a lot of fun.

I don't see an avatar for him? :-?

79CamaroDiva 05-09-2008 10:52 AM

Island is about 540 ft above sea level, which is usually good for about a tenth from atco, .05 from englishtown. Sounds like everyone had a good time. I hope the word spreads so we get a bigger turnout in the upcoming weeks. :)

Just an update, we're planning on opening tonight. Looks like we might get a sprinkle early, but clear after that

Anti_Rice_Guy 05-21-2008 02:55 PM

I'm out for this one, I have to babysit, and the weather's not lookin so hot anyway.

mtg6486 05-21-2008 03:54 PM

yea i was the one with the black wheels i finally figured out why i did so bad. @ dyno day i only made 330hp and 341 tq. the 1st time i dynoed last year i made 350 hp & 350tq. i did add the 90/90 combo from fast so im thinking i got too much air and thats why i did bad

Tru2Chevy 05-21-2008 04:05 PM

Latest info I got via Text Message alert said they were rained out for the night.....
