I've Been BLACK BALLED!!!

[redbaron66]

Went to the track Friday night and it is under new management. I the past on test-n-tune they did not care about all the rules regarding a roll bar. THEY DO NOW!! I have not been to the track since last year, so we had a new tune in the car and I was anxioous to try her out. First pass on motor netted an 11.0 at 121.5 mph with a 1.62 60' time. On the return road I was flagged down an issued a warning not to do that again. I really wanted to see what it would do with a 75 shot of nitrous too. Decided what the heck. Next run... 1.5 60' time and 10.56 at 126.5 mph. Results... BLACK BALLED until I show up with a certified roll bar, 5 point harness, jacket, etc. Felt kinda good really!

Heck at least you got those good runs in....so they kicked ya out, big deal!! You know what it can do now, dontcha???

Nice runs, yes indeed.....

Are you going to put the roll bar in?

 

[redbaron66]

I guess if I want to continue to race I will have to put in a roll bar. Yep... I had to see what it would do since installing the nitous window switch and making adjustments in the tune. The window switch worked like a charm and kept it from backfiring, so now I feel good about upping to a 125-150 shot of juice! Next goal is a low 10 sec run. I just to get the funds together, and we all know how hard that can be at times.

That's too bad, Dale... but I'm sure it was fun while it lasted! Excellent run BTW!!

hey don a FYI but i was told that running 9.99 or quicker, you cant have removable door bars on a cage. however swingouts are good for whatever times. not sure how true that is

At 9.99 or quicker (6.39 in the 1/8), a full roll cage (i.e., 12-point) is required anyway, so swingouts are a moot point then.

Try painting your car a different color, then go back and act like you never been there. LOL

 

[redbaron66]

Damn!!! Why didn't I come up with that sooner. I would have to go in disguise too.

 

[Error404]

Sweet, haha!

Though part of me realizes that they have those rules for a reason! Your car has alot of power, I'd probably look into the roll bar at least!
