Yeah, you're tellin me. It's too hot down here in south Florida to run any good times. I managed a 13.1 @ 106 last month, DA was about 1800ft. But

I'm gonna start saving my pennies for more go fast parts (for the winter). Already have a new set of RE-11 rear tires in storage.... my 3rd set of rears for this car LOL.

I think track prep might have been an issue as well. I don't really know how to tell, but I've heard the prep at Capitol Raceway sucks from every single person I've talked to about it. They call it Crapitol Raceway Only went there because I live 15 mins away. Might just go to a good track 1 hr away next time after I get my exhaust installed. Also, I only broke 12's once that other day. The rest of my runs were low 13's, so yesterday wasn't too bad. My average went from low 13's to mid 13's.

since I just put one drag tire in car-looks like I'll be at R.P Sun.
What the hell, might as well go(Raceway Park). Till I get my new trans. I'll just try some slow/careful 2nd. gear shifting. Just realized, I don't know how to do that Joking but I'm serious. I'll put a 13.00 second dial in, & practice before race time.

12.67's today. no traction off the line. it rained, and was hot and humid.
it spitted rain mostof the day off and on. It was one of the quicker times of the day every body lost a 10 th or more on the start line. Line lock was great, TC is not for drag racing best pas was a 12.81. still a great day considering the weather conditions, The best 60 ft was a 1.95, Differnt track 2 weeks ago it cut 1.853.s Z

I use slicks, but it took me like 10+ months to figure out how to truly use them. When you have only apx. 290 h.p, it takes more than just slicks or M.T. drag radials to do a 1.7 60'. I'm not asking for much tomorrow. I want to win & not break an axle. O.k I'll settle for not breaking down.
Ray's comment - I bring a case of wine, boxes of t-shirt/jeans that I sell in between runs, my medication, & my good luck cat. Last edited by andre12031948; 06-25-2011 at 09:16 PM. |

Heartbreaks
Ok, thousands of people. Between car shows, P. Rico racing teams, low riders, side riders, most speakers in car contest, bikini contests, bands, a dozen different drag classes, even motor cycle racing. The whole of Raceway Park mobed with people and cars. Every race, color & species was there. Everyone was friendly!
"The Heatbreaks" I was there, and a group of maybe 6/7 other Zs were there as well. Before my first run in bracket two, all the Zs were gone. I love to see Zs at the track, & love to see them kick azz. Not today. "My heartbreak". Shifting into 2nd. gear is almost gone. So crowded, they only had time for one practice run. I made up a time for a dial in of 13.25. The class was the biggest. Three lines of cars in that class. Something like 60 cars. Two racers were old timers (pros. known by the track). One had best off wins, all over his old station wagen, the other one had 174 wins. NOT car wins Bracket racing/best of wins!!!! etc. 25 year old 4 dr. car, that's dialed in at 17.76 seconds & runs 17.76 seconds almost every time & the guy lives 15 min away, racing there for 30 years. You think he knows the lights Anyway, slamming on brakes, almost using two hands to put into second, having reaction times like .018 followed by .000. Yes, .OOO! by-run for lowest R/T. that & more got me to the last few cars. Both pros red lighted, go figure I'm about to run a Honda, that I was sure I was going to beat, when the trans made it very hard to get into second. I chase him down, only to lose by an inch or two. Pissed as hell, but what could I do? Lucky to get this far MY LAST RACE before getting new trans.!!!! Left track at 8 pm, just got home. Racing is fun, winning is more fun |
