Post your times / Byron
My excuse is ..................... Over heating:mad:
1st run...........13.543 2nd run..........red light 3rd run...........12.265 4th run...........12.445 Thanks guys, I had fun! Did the little Red car get the 1st place?? Till next time. Glen B. |
Why doesn't someone who attended write a little piece about this event and submit it to the WCCC website for posting?
Event participants, times, did some vetts show up & the results...who ran out of gas.....etc. |
1st run.............. 12.275
2nd run............. 12.249 Only ran two runs but was improving! A couple of more runs should be able to get in the 11's? Also ran against Arcenio beat him off the line reached the end befor hid did and his time was better?? Is Byron providing the correct times, I believe we need to run again to make sure. Buy the way, a Blue car took the honors with 11.51. |
The top five I think-
Blue - Al from Sycamore ( by the way - not on current membership list - Maybe his prize should have been a membership) RED - MM (previous big dog - now relagated to also ran) Blue - Chris - slipped from second to third Blue - Shelby - finally hooked up the Viper Yellow - Malmen - Next time look out Yellow is the new power color. Where are my red buddies? Will have to say it took an additional 167 c.i. to overcome the small block. Michael |
1st run was 12.3
2nd run was 12.1 3rd run was 12.7 (trying to get more out of the street tires) 4th run was not worth stopping for Worth noting: I am pretty sure that Al's 11.5 run was on street tires. :eek: I also want to thank Jerry and Corey for their support. I know they love this stuff, but their tech advice was appreciated. I am looking forward to seeing those pictures from Mrs. Clayton. Can you imagine what that poor lady goes through keeping those two in line? |
Hey! if we're deleting the second decimal place - I ran an 11.5 also.
|
I improved a little also.
Not enough power to hang with the big dogs though 11.78 @ 114.7mph 1.57 60' time Had a 1.56 60' time but missed third gear on that run. Many runs at 11.8_ during the day also. 60' consistently in the 1.56-1.65 range. Congrats to Shelby joining the 11 sec. club Next is the tens.................. |
Big Dogs
IT SEEMS WE HAVE A NEW CLUB!! THE MID 11 SECOND CLUB!:D
Congratulations are in order for the mid 11 sec club. Hats off to the gentlemen (;) ) that ran consistent 11 sec passes. Unfortunately my times were all in the 12's: 1.) Red lit 2.) 12.385 3.) 12.323 4.) 12.101 Oh well, some time your the bug, Sometimes your the windsheild. Blas by the way story and pics are up on the WCCC. |
Taken care of earlier today (posted)...Thanks for taking the time to write a little something....
|
Awesome 60' times Chris. Us older guys are a little slower on the hammer. Well actually Mike had a reaction time of .095. Wow
Arcenio, my best time for the day was 12.103. ;) |
So ? You still didn't beat me %/
|
Well I had until you edited your 4th run post to 12.101 from 12.116 :eek: Nice try! :LOL:
|
Well I got in six runs with my best run ever against "Sid Vicious"
r/t .197 1/4 12.182 mph 115.21 Against Mike the "Big Dog" r/t .016 1/4 12.458 mph 110.62 Against Glen's big block r/t .094 to his .724 1/4 12.259 to his 12.265 Ha ha!! mph 113.20 to his 102.50 My last run was against Chris's friends camaro whom I totally blew away r/t .000 1/4 12.330 mph 110.44 I think that with sticky tires and maybe some nitrous and a big block I might break into the 11's also,,,,,,,,,, but then again probably not! |
Aaaaauuuuwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Jeez Got Busted
|
Slow Snake
OK, I have to chime in here with the least amount of HP on a close-to-stock 351ci engine and a virgin tracker, I need to drop 1.8 seconds to get into the 11.5 club. I figure a make-over with aluminum heads, big cam, new carb, set of pistons, new tires, etc. probably in the vicinity of 5 to 6 grand would do it.
By the time that gets done you guys will be in the 10 second club and 6 grand will buy about 500 cases of beer, guess where my priorities lie?:LOL: Thanks to Jerry's advice after my virgin run, I bettered my 2nd run by almost a second and increased the speed by 3 mph. :D Ralph the slow poke -13.3 @104.66:CRY: |
Ralph, Call Jerry or Corey about a nos setup. You can easily get 100hp or even 150hp for way less than any mechanical method and you only run it when you want it. Big boost to your hp and still get 400 cases of beer! Now that's the best of both worlds.
|
Oh Ralph, get this. You could even have a pair of purge valves at the radiator intake so when you purge the nos it looks like a cobra shooting venon at it's victim. :LOL:
|
Add 5 lbs of air to your tires....
Premium gasoline ( NOT Speedway's regular grade) Loose 40 pounds.... Take cooler of beer out of trunk... Wax the front on the car...and the top of you helmet... and disengage the emergency brake next time..... and you'll have an easy 2 seconds... :LOL: |
And kick Dale out of the Sid seat .............. :)
|
Slow poke?
Ralph consider this;
you are still as fast as a stock vette or Z28 off the show room floor!%/ %/ %/ |
