Weeee, back from the track, new best's

[12secondv6]

Well, in search of 11's I upped the shot to 125. Until this day I have NEVER had a successful pass on anything over 100, I always blew up.

Well, I redrilled and tapped the TB for better nozzle placement along with many other things.

1 I was very nervous about blowing up
2 I was very nervous about typical spinning


So, 1/2 tank of gas of 100 octane cam 2
Race weight w/ driver 3160
Front tire psi was 46
Rear tire psi was 16

Had a VERY good day of burn outs

Because of above referenced #1 and #2 I became a wuss. I launched N/A, went for a bit, then hit the nitrous. Ifound myself wussing out and NOT spraying off the line like I normally do.

Last time out I saw 1.5 60's spinning because I was launching on a 100 shot

r/t.....193
60......1.706 <---WUSS!!!!!! but perfect traction
330.....4.901
1/8.....7.675
mph.....87.90
1000....10.103
1/4.....12.168 <--- new best [img]smile.gif[/img]
mph.....108.83 <--- kinda weak for a 125 shot

r/t.....326
60......1.655 <---WUSS!!!!!! but perfect traction
330.....4.879
1/8.....7.672
mph.....87.26
1000....10.112
1/4.....12.183
mph.....108.59

r/t.....-.007
60......1.738
330.....5.079
1/8.....7.935
mph.....85.48
1000....10.429
1/4.....12.551
mph.....105.96

I dunno what happened on the last run, I have to see how much nitrous is left in the bottles. Between the 2nd and 3rd round I accidentally left the bottle warmers on, killed the batteries ans cranked bottle psi to 1600 psi + I sat tyhere once the car was jump started and had to purge away and waste LOTS of nitrous to get the psi down to 1200.

Now.... you may say.... James.... STILL no 11's???

My response. NOPE :(

But, I wussed out on EVERY launch because of fearing the above #1 and #2

I think, as long as those 60's get back into the 1.5's, my 11's are there.

I had a great day.

Dead hooked in all 3 runs <--- WOW!
Went new bests 2 out of 3 runs
Didn't blow up on a 125 shot <--- WOW!!
Drove home in one piece
Drove pathogen's car down the track once

All in all, it was a good day
I had a consistent 12.1 car.
Whooped up on MANY v8 people that day.
Shocked many other V8 people.

I think anyone else on this site would kill to say, yup, a bad day at the track is a 12.1 day [img]smile.gif[/img]

Last time out on that previous 12.1 day I went 12.1, 12.2, 12.2, 12.3, 12.3

I'll be back at the track sooner or later going for 11's.

I just really wanted to do it while sooo many members of this site were in attendance, oh well

[new2thegame]

Good Job James......

I wasnt able to make it because of work......

Will hopefully be able to pull out the new toy before years end....

[Shirl]

Nice pic! what were the conditons yesterday?

['98 BlackBird]

Humidity was 61%, Temp was 73 and pressure at 29.85.

It was a nice day of racing. The track was preped well too.

At the time James raced, I think he had a head wind of 15mph. Thats right James, blame it on the wind, i'll back ya up.

[Ian]

i dunno james, i noticed your trap was down also. my traps yesterday were down 3-4mph, and that was on my decent runs.

i say you just wait for another day, keep that 125 on, and bring her back for another round. lemme know when it is, ill try to go.

[BLLDOGG]

nice runs buddy. what was that car you beat in the pic? i hope it was a V8 :thumbsup: :D

[12secondv6]

I was beating V8's all day long :D

That was an LS1 with slicks n skinnies and was DAMN LOUD! Dunno the mods... but WAS NOT stock :D

Thanks to all!

I have MCUH more condfidence in the car and the 125 shot.... the 125 is staying in the bird.

I discovered today that my 10 lb bottle was NOT open! I found something in the valve that was blocking it. That explains my last run of 12.5 slowing down.

I'll be back with the 125 shot another day.... maybe camaro and firebird vs mustang end of this month [img]smile.gif[/img]

[skorpion317]

it'll hit 11's for sure if you get traction off the line.

[12secondv6]

Oh, I dead hooked
I just didn't hit the nitrous off the line like I usually do

[BLLDOGG]

dont be so affraid or you'll never get the most out of it. just wear a fire suit :D

[BLUE]

Git R Dun!!! 11s or bust!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

[MustangEater8251]

awesome, I still think its good, I mean honestly I never really expect much of an increase in times my first time out with a decent change in my setup and you still did good, I think you have 11s in you.heck just better temps might get you it [img]smile.gif[/img]
