I guess the Steea LCA helped

[gmantheman]

Got another personal best at the 1/8 mile track in Barona. Before I had the Steeda LCA, my 60'times would be in the 2.2 to 2.3 range. I did manage to get a 1.980. With the Steeda LCA my worst 60' time was 2.143 and best 1.894. Most of 60' times were around 2.0XXX.

Here is my best run. DA was 4280

60' 1.894
1/8 mile 8.818
Corrected sealevel time: 8.357
MPH 79.69
Corrected MPH: 84

Nice congrats... Gotta love getting a best when you go to the track.

Congrats on the new best!

We're still planning on going to the Q on Friday and Barona on Saturday this week. Are you going to be there?

Thanks. I see in your sig that you are putting down some awesome numbers

I want to try the Q again. I ran there last Friday. Best time I could muster was 9.358. My 60' times were not that good. I was in the 2.3 sec. range. When I shifted into 2nd I would get wheel hop and spin the tires. I wonder if the LCA will make that much of a difference on that track.

We're hoping to get 6-sec slips at both the Q and Barona this week, and then get that elusive 10-sec pass at FFW in 3 weeks!

FFW? Last time at the Q I heard there is this investor that wants to buy property in Temecula to put in a road course and a 1/4 mile strip.

Thanks. I just wish they would hurry up and build a 1/4 mile track here.

6s 1/8 and 10-sec 1/4? And this is a daily driver? Most cars at Barona that are in the 6s are getting to the track by trailer.

FFW = Fun Ford Weekend (Fontana, 9/19 thru 9/21)

A 1/4 mile track in Temecula would be good, except it would be pretty warm there.

Absolutely a daily driver... to/from work every day. Even though I now have a trailer, it will be driven to the track this weekend, too. Oh yea, I also drove it to Phoenix and back twice this year as well.

 

[gmantheman]

Is the FFW open to anyone with a Ford. Or is it buy invitation only.

 

[don_w]

Open to everyone... more info here: http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7585&highlight=FFW

I will try to make it on the 20th.
