Etown last night

Took the Gn over to etown last night for a few easy passes.Kept the boost @18 psi since it was the first time to the track with the car.

I was happy with the results...18psi with 23/21 timing,On 255/60/15 MT's the car ran 11.0@120.9x with a 1.58 60'..On the pass,It pulled the drivers side tire about 10inches or so off the ground...I also ran through the exhaust and 3" Cat.On the next pass,It ran an 11.6 blowing the tires away for about 100ft or so...But still got a little air under the wheel......It started lifting,Then spun real bad.I had the dump cracked open a bit for this pass.

I was trying to get a 3rd pass in,I left the boost alone and upped the timing to 24/24.But the rain ended that.

On my 1st pass...I launched off the transbrake around 5psi...But while trying to shift into 2..It went straight to D because of how the car jumped,The car pretty much shifted right into D around 100ft out...I left it in D the entire run..and went thru the traps at 6300rpm's..What I believe to be way out of the range for the cam in this car.This car has 3.73's in it,And I was running a 27" tire.A gear swap will be done soon,I will be putting 3.23's in her.And running the 26" Mt's and the new 315/45/16 27" MT's I just bought.

I think this car will go very low 10's probably around maybe a bit over 130mph with the boost turned up.Also..Still power everything,Cold working AC,No weight taken out of the car.

here is a little video of the passes...Notice the stang in the 2nd pass staging with the rear tires... I Didnt notice at 1st...And had to wait for them to back him up...Boy,People will try anything to get a headstart on the Gn...

also..here is a picture of the 1st launch,Unfortunately,I was in the right lane(Lane I always pick,Just unfortunate for the picture)..You can almost see the entire rim up over the wall...

I guess they thought you were going to run to faster then 11.50, hence the reason they didn't show your time on the 2nd run?

Yes, knowing the Pope of Raceway Park has it's perks! (he got me through tech for Pinks without having to open hood or doors when I forgot my keys. On the trailor.)

the no times on the second run was due to the drag race pro in the mustang that staged with his rear tires ,he had NT on his window .. so no times it was

he was within legal limit for car anyway due to the tires breaking away at launch and spinning them 100ft or so , still ran it out at 120mph through the traps.

Thanks...As far as the Bar thing...Not sure..But I have made tons of 10sec passes there and have only been warned once or twice throughout all the years.

I guess it helps that I know everyone there,Including the Tech guys.Its nice not waiting in the long azz tech line...I just park my car and walk over to my buddy and he signs me in.

Hey Sean..Does the BPG have any thing going as far as getting a deal on a HR bar?Paul was going to ask you about it...But he is getting awfully forgetful in his old age... I think it is from sniffing all that Buick exhaust!
