AutoRoc 08-31-2003, 01:03 PM Awesome!!:D Hopefully I don't have any problems the night before this one:cry:
And My ET Streets are GONE now. BEfore I even got them to a track:D haha Nitto Drags it is.:cry:
BackInBlackWS6 08-31-2003, 04:23 PM well hopefully my long tube headers should be in by then and I borrow some DRs or good street tires for the evening and I'll be there to see what my mods have done for my car.... hopefully I won't break anything!!
Murdock 09-03-2003, 08:44 AM Count me in. As long as I don't break something out there tonight! :eek:
D James 09-03-2003, 11:36 PM Well if my car isn't in the shop getting a new bumper I'll be there. How many people show up for these events, just tryin to figure on many runs I can get in, it seems on wensday test and tune you must stay all day to make 4-5 runs
Murdock 09-04-2003, 02:02 PM Well I guess I jinxed myself. Seems the clutch hydraulics took dump last night. :cry: I'm 50/50 now. I'll have to check it out tonight. Went 12.41, 12.43 though. . . :D
AutoRoc 09-04-2003, 11:07 PM TTT
Murdock! Not bad at all, man! 115.2 is definately no slouch:D:eek: How did the rest of the run look? drop the interior, better 60 foot and that's an easy 11 second runner. Goodluck!

Murdock 09-05-2003, 10:08 AM AutoRoc:
It was looking good. My previous best was 12.41, so I duplicated that. Everyone I talked to in the staging lanes beat me up about losing the Nittos for some slicks so I can run a "Man Sized 60 foot"
Clutch fluid looks a little burnt. I'll refill and bleed and see what's up. I slammed/raked third gear pretty bad when I lost the clutch pedal. Hopefully nothing broke and I just need some higher temp fluid. Any recommendations? I know different brands show different temp limits. I was just going to buy the highest temp I can find. . .
If 3rd gear's busted, I guess I can still fry rice with 1-2 and 2-4 shifts!
firstgen 09-09-2003, 07:24 PM Looks like good weather for Thursday!
:bow: :bow: :bow:
Eddie95Z28 09-11-2003, 01:41 PM Looks like GREAT weather today. Unfortunatly I just wrapped up my new tranny+torque converter+tranny cooler install last night. And I don't think it is a good idea to romp on everything right away. I have to make sure everything stays buttoned up.
Y2kPewterSS 09-12-2003, 04:15 PM Thanks for hosting this event. I am still quite irritated at how porely I ran, but fun nonetheless... The huge delay due to track cleaning and cars blowing up wasn't so fun though.
Can anyone get their car to hook up at Milan?? I'm thinking of going to Stanton or Lapeer to see if I just suck at driving.
BTW Cold Air Intake did absolutely nothing for me. MAF ends added about .5 mph to my trap speed.

AutoRoc 09-12-2003, 05:12 PM Well a bad night but not horrible. 3 runs in back to back altogether. 2.30, 2.1X, 2.30, 60 foot times...:mad: My 15.50 car can all of a sudden spin first gear to redline at Milan's beautiful facility. I can't do that on a cold street or a gravely parking lot. I'm serious about that. Launched the car behind our shop today with the spray and it hooks up about 20 feet after I launch and GOES. Ah well. Oh and I am missing roughly 6 MPH from my last outing:eek: Only changes have been a new trans, cutout, skinnies, and a very mismatched converter...:(
Rockwound 09-12-2003, 11:18 PM My best 60 was a 1.94 not great but OK that was on ET Streets with 15lbs. I was running a little slower than normal but that's due to the fact that I stopped power shifting.

I hear ya denny. even on my ET streets tuesday, I was only geting 2.0x 60's. on the street, I can launch as hard as the converter will let me get to w/no wheelspin whatsoever. then I get to the racetrack, and wammo, wheel spin. I dont get it.
derty 09-13-2003, 12:19 AM GOOD GOD am I glad I didn't even attempt to show up. Sorry guys I would have made it but other things came up. However, just proves the heresay that the place is an ice rink. I hope everyone had fun though.
AutoRoc 09-13-2003, 12:30 AM Yeah It was nice to get back out there even though it was a bad lesson learned.
Chris!? I really do wonder how they can make a track slicker than any old street or parking lot!!:mad: :mad: :mad:
Y2kPewterSS 09-13-2003, 02:00 AM I'm glad to hear that no one can get traction. I can hook up to any pavement better than I did last night. My last run I had a 60' of 2.15 after melting my Nittos first to get them to stick.
Bunch of guys said the right lane was reporting low mph... I never experienced that myself.
