Went rounds tonight.

06VistaBlueGT · August 21st, 2011, 12:36 AM

Double entered the car in Modified and Street at Quaker City Motorsports Park. Lost first round in Mod. I've been testing a 2-step/line lock combo. Can't use a 2 step in street so I raced in Mod as a test. Made it to the semi's in Street. Car was pretty consistent all night. Finally starting to find my spot on the tree. Here are my runs:

13.28, 13.26, 13.29, 13.29, 13.29, 13.27, 13.24, 13.22.

You can see when the cooler air started to come in.

Edit: Forgot to mention this was on a diff that has been clunking and squealing. Hopefully the true trac will go in this week.

They were a little inconsistent. Best was .003. Worst was .098 to the other guys .029 and still beat him. Pushed him under by .07, I went under by.06. Found my spot on the tree by the end of the night. Hopefully I can remember it next weekend.

Good job!

I've been struggling with the tree the last couple of weeks as well.

Until the last two weeks, I've been pretty consistently between a .520 and .540. The last two weeks I've had two .500 lights and three red lights. Obviously, .500 is cutting it way too close. Never really had a problem going red until lately. I'm not going to spend a lot of time trying to fix it because I'll have to completely relearn the car once the c4 goes in anyway.

In any case, good job.

1/8th mile stats?

Mine? They vary depending on track and weather. Best was last October at the Halloween Classic in Norwalk, OH. It's the fastest track I race on and the weather was in the 40's. I was running 8.16 consistently. Typical (80 degrees) is in the 8.35 - 8.45 range.

Went rounds again Saturday and Sunday. This time I went rounds in Modified. Couldn't seem to catch a light in Street. Went 5 rounds in Modified and lost first round in Street on Saturday. Made it to the final 8 out of over 100 cars in the class. Went 3 rounds in Modified and 2 rounds in Street on Sunday.
2 weeks ago I hooked a switch to my line lock and 2 step and have been using that in Modified class to launch. My RT's are much better and more consistent that way.
