Got back from St. Thomas... - June 30, 2003 01:20 pm UTC

Well, I didn't break any shafts, and I won the event (Pro Street). The car did very well for having a large boost leak. I also have video's of the runs that will be up hopefully by tomorrow.

Here are the run downs of the slips.

First pass, #1 Qualifier, ran against my friends E46 M3.

RT - .836
60' - 1.759
330' - 5.082
1/8 ET - 7.698
1/8 MPH - -----
1/4 ET - 11.683
1/4 MPH - 123.97

Now, that was my best pass ever in the car until this one.

Me Vs. a Turbo Miata.

RT - .777
60' - 1.713
330' - 4.927
1/8 ET - 7.515
1/8 MPH - 98.47
1/4 ET - 11.464
1/4 MPH - 121.63

That was my new record time until I squeeked it out with this pass.

Me vs. a GT42R RX-7

RT - .803
60' - 1.689
330' - 4.920
1/8 ET - 7.514
1/8 MPH - 98.48
1/4 ET - 11.462
1/4 MPH - 124.31

All I did since the last event when I was breaking shafts was replace the rear bushings with poly units. This helped a bunch, shaved 3 tenths off my 1/4 ET. Now its time to weld up the leak, maybe try powershifting, and maybe, just maybe, hit the spray!

Anyone wanna host the vid's for me? Strictly996diet@hotmail.com , I will email them when I get home from work.

Hey man,

Those were some pretty sweet runs. I noticed a big difference between Grand Bend and St Thomas on how your car came off the line. Your launch was nice and man when that thing hooked up did it ever pull.

Congradulations on the times.

That's because in Grandbend I was FWD... Hence the burnout at the beginning of the runs! lol
