Happy to be in the 12.5's with my pos 3v, 12.4's next year 60' needs some improvement.

Nice Frankie

How was the track prep? Air had to be awesome.

 

[fdjizm]

Air was nice it was -400 to -600 all day, it was drizzling here and there, just enough to piss everyone off for 20 min then it went away.
Track prep was actually very nice I was glued to that bitch. (using the new QTP's) I still hate the damn wait...
I ran at 10am, then 12, then 2:15 then 3:00 lol.

 

[ArtQ]

Nice!! Hate the waiting at E-town...

 

[DVEST8R]

good passes !

 

[fdjizm]

Thanks!, I didn't want to waste my passes spinning so I teased the 2-step.
Best launch was at 4800rpm.

I usually launch at 5000-5500 but I wasn't sure how the new tires would stick being so fresh, next year lol.

Congrats man. With some weight savings, the car will be even faster

Atco stays open til mid December.

I have this thing about not being hours away from home racing my car... lol
I can't even imagine what a tow would cost if I break.

 

[stkjock]

AAA gold - 100 miles free tow

 

[fdjizm]

Yea been meaning to look into AAA.
I thought there was an issue with breaking at the track like they won't cover you or something. I have to read up on it.

 

[stkjock]

Yea, IIRC that happened to Ron.

So you just push it out of the gates

 

[BruceH]

You are getting the most from a stock car. Well done!

 

[DeepImpactPony]

Congrats, I was at island yesterday, actually made my best pass to date there yesterday.
Still cant match Atco's best pass at E-town or Island though.

I have this thing about not being hours away from home racing my car... lol

that's my train of thought when I drive 85 miles to MIR

nice work! what does your car weigh?

 

[fdjizm]

I'm sure atco would be good to be time wise lol.
Today the car was 3520 with me in it, I'm around 215-220.

Need to get me some 1.6x 60's!!!

 

[NotQuik]

Well...shit, that's sucks you're now quicker than me! Lol

...but seriously, Nice job man!

This almost makes me want to get another set of tires just so I can get back to the track and run a 12.57. ;-)


Car looks good btw!

 

[DVEST8R]

amazing consistency as well ....esp with a manual trans !

 

[GT.350-R]

Always good to see these little 3v getting it done.
Nice string of passes. Congrats
