True enough. I need to start hanging out with a bunch of Cobalt drivers, or something.

No Steve, you need to come out to a day like yesterday. 7 or so DSMs with no line-ups and a load of v-8 spanking.

Thanks for the motivation, I think its time for the front mount and my new 3G MAS.

Yeah, motivation is there for me too! I really want to be there next year!

I'm in the left lane, Reza's in the right lane. The video is the 2nd on Reza's list. I had a blast but left so disappointed.

What happened Tim?

Daren, Did you find out what made the car go Boom? I was waiting for you to blast right by me at the top of 3rd as you did the first time we lined it up.

Disappointed????

That's a fantastic time, especially when your car is a daily driver. I think you did great

Aurora to Brampton 5 days a week... comfortably and good on the gas. Ask Helder, he sees me driving my car to work from time to time.

I was disappointed because the car has a 10 in it. The only clean run I had, my elbow hit my switch for my electronic cutout to close and it robbed my power and killed my time and MPH.

Tim, your car hauls man! I was stuck in the same position ALL year long with too many low 11's, sh!t tires, and traction issues.

Its totally doable, you just need to get in that one perfect run to crack a 10. The difference between 11.3's and 11.0's, is quite a bit better driving too.

Was your clutch slipping towards the end of the day ?

I raced this 80`s Camaro on drag radials with a 150 shot of spray . We hot laped it and lined up three times in a row, took him every run. He drives over to me after we park and says in owe: "Those damm turbo cars, you got me everytime!"

He proceeded to his trailer, and loaded up his car. I put my spare tire back in, and hit the road for my 1.5 hour drive home, stoping off at Yorkdale for dinner.

Yes, its fun! even if your not smashing ET`s.

Nope. Oil or fluid on the track made my tires break loose.

Well ended the season with a bang ! Around 6500 in 3rd heard a loud bang, lost power, so shut the car off. Pulled over at the end of the track, took a quick look around with Jamal (thanks!) & no holes anywhere, fluid leaking or broken parts to be seen. Start the car up, sounds fine, start to drive, hear a ticking noise, 1st & second fine, shift to 3rd nothing, 4th nothing & fith okay. So don't know much about our trannies but do the shift forks hold the gear stacks in place? If so I guess I broke the 3-4 fork? Packed the car up & drove 1.5 hrs home on 1,2 & 5

So not sure what all damage I did but I may be in the market for an awd doner

For you awd guys on street tires, what 60's were you pulling? I'm not sure if it was track prep, the lack of slicked muscle cars or just the temp but I just couldn't get any heat ion my tires. I was spinning & hopping all over the place in first & getting some spin in 2nd (complete opposite of last time when they wouldn't spin at all). I worked on adjusting my boost abit better (more even bvetween gears & not dropping in 4th), so was making more power but couldn't get the launches to drop my ET. So my best run of the day was a 12.59 @ 118.5 with a poor 2.125 60.

Jamal, do you have the slip where I broke (I was car 352, think around 4)? I didn't bother to grab the slip but was wondering if you could post up both our results?

Edit: Oh ya, congrates Reza! If you were pulling 1.6 60's with those slicks yesterday with 26psi in them, wait till you get a better day

Reza, I've got some 4 bolt axles downstairs for ya if you want spares for next year. I've also got a passenger side CV axle for you as well.

15psi in those slicks next year Reza, you'll be snapping 1.5s and 1.4 60' and snapping some low 10's.

Tim, next year, you'll be in the 10's.

I hope to be right along side all of you next year!

Daren, here are the results from our run:

DAREN
R/T -0.21
60' 2.119
330 .000
1/8 8.736
MPH 89.98
1000 11.153
1/4 13.514
MPH 90.85

Jamal
R/T .730
60' 1.779
330 5.191
1/8 8.044
MPH 86.81
1000 10.525
1/4 12.618
MPH 107.96

The general 60ft times for street tired AWDs was 1.75 - 1.90. I couldn't get my car to launch much better than a 1.790.

Tim, what suspension are you running? When you launch your car, there's a lot of load on the suspension, it seems like it's not very stiff.

Maybe that would bring your 60' times down.

I cut 1.60 no issues with a warm track. A stiff suspension will kill your 60ft times.

Im running stock shocks and springs and have manage to cut 1.7's. I have yet to cut a 1.6 with my setup.

Im pretty positive I can cut a 1.6x if I use the stutterbox, but I have yet to connect the wire. A little boost off the line will help.

Huh. I always thought a stiffer rear would help with keeping the tires to the ground and helping with the launch.

Alrighty then! Stock suspension FTW!

Jake (evileagle) used to cut stupid serious 60-fts back when he started to touch the nines on stock suspension.

Saves me some money then I guess.

Wait, I am FWD, so I want some suspension don't I?

Hey Tim are you running the holset hx40. What kind of boost are you running now.

HX35/40 hybrid. 37psi.

37 PSI???? Stock block or built motor Tim?

Built motor.

With an upgraded walbro pump now in the car, Im running a conservative 24psi.

Going to be installing another meth nozzle tomorrow, so I will be cranking the boost up to 26 psi, looking for 25/26 psi right to redline.
