Will let Tom and Mike tell you about their drives. Tom had a bit of misfortune. My first two slips (I'm car 111):

Then, I asked Tom to drive my car to show me how it should be done.

He said he wouldn't try to get everything out of it, that he would baby the clutch a little bit at the start.

But, he still managed to best my time by 0.3 sec. He said he thought there were still a few more tenths to be taken out of the time with a more aggressive rev's and clutch drop at the start.Results were 0.3 better than my best. When you want it done right, go to an expert.

thanks for the compliments Dan, I don't really have much to say about today but... **** happens. It was good to see everyone today and have a good time back at the track... It has been close to a year since I last went. I will be back again sometime but it doesn't look like anytime soon. I am going to follow my modo and with every repair make it a modification... Built EG33 comming this year:o

Tom

:D :rolleyes:

Tom

Nice pics! Great times Dan (and Tom driving your car).

Sorry to hear about your engine Tom. :( Good luck rebuilding her stringer and better! :cool:

Tom ive got a couple engines in the garage with just over 100k. Let me know if you need anything.

tom this is jsvxstyle, also with the blower, what was your exhaust temp, when your motor melted, do you want want fries with that, give me a call for our issues, 925-584-5737 call me @ any time, :cool:

i need one how much, thank, i got french fries with mine:)

are you saying that you popped your motor too?? I do not have an EGT gauge nor a wideband... I was monitoring the knock sensors which did nothing for me just after I cleared the ECU... Anyway... I may be in for a motor from you... know what you want for the lower mileage one?? I have my eye of a 52k engine but the seller may not want to part with it... So let me know what u r thinking;)

Tom

Double motor melt with fries, not good.

Mike, what about Mike?

I made out fine. I didnt set any new records. Here's the stats off my best run:

R/T: .669
60': 1.884
330': 5.744
1/8: 8.987
MPH: 74.62
1000: 11.761
1/4: 14.142
MPH: 95.70

That was my fastest for the day. Strangely it felt like my slowest. But that could be because I was lined up beside a 10 Second car.......

I was faster than both Tom and my fathers Trailblazer SS. But considering Tom was having problems and nuked his motor, I wont consider it a win. Had a pretty good time all in all. Now I need to figure out how to test the software Tom didnt get a chance to run.

Nice run Mike. Nine psi?

Nice time and amazing 60ft Mike! :cool:

So, are we coming to the conclusion that the stock engine doesn't like 12psi of boost:eek:

Mike - any traction issues on your 14.1 run? What rpm did you drop the clutch at?
