holy hell on earth it's AWESOME to go to a killer track that hooks!!!! I don't care that I had to drive 3 hours to get there (stayed the weekend)... if you look at the pic closely I think the nitto's wrinkled up on that 1.7...

We rented Bradenton Motorsports Park, only cost us about $35 a person for 70 cars

Got 18 runs in... I smacked two 12 second passes, the rest were 13.0's, but what do I care I got my 12's

First pass of the day in very cool weather...

12.951 @ 104.03 1.724 60'

Much later in the day in warm weather (i couldn't believe it)

12.917 @ 103.81 1.704 60'

All this on Nitto drags, and the only weight reduction was my two rear hatch panels w/ the speakers, spare tire, jack..

YES, i still have my swaybar on, and stock rockers. I hit my goal, and I couldn't be happier. Next I need my hotcam to reach my next (undetermined) goal...


time for an oil / tranny fluid change

 

Time to change you sig.

 

done

 

Good job man

 

Congrats on the times. I'm hoping a torque converter and drag radials will put me into the high 12's also.

 

Nicely done, go follow Mike and get a 12blot and slicks now

 

What suspension work do you have done? I think some minor suspension mods could get that 60' down in the 1.6 range and get you a 12.8 or so.

 

Just some BMR lower control arms & Hotchkis panhard rod. I won't be able to pull off times like those until the next time I travel to this track, which will probably be in a few months. I know pulling the swaybar is supposed to help, as well as relocation brackets for the control arms.

 

Congrats! I knew your combo would do it with the right conditions and track prep.

I'm still waiting, Sh!!!!!!!!!!!!!t

 

Congrats on the run, I was psyched too when I finally got my 12 sec bolt on run at the end of last season

So, did you spank that LS1 in the picture???

 

Polo... you'll get there man!! you are CLOSE I didn't know if I was going to make it into the 12 second club or not, turns out i just needed a track that hooks BMP

Gregg.. after I treed the bejeezus out of him and got that nasty launch as u see in the pic.. he never had a chance

 

Hey Kmook,

Hows the blower motor run out? A buddy of mine is trying to talk me into a ProCharger setup. I would love to do turbos but I think that will be next time. I'll let someone figure a kit first.

 

Nice times. Bradenton is a decent track. Have you tried going to Immokalee yet? That track works pretty good. It's an 8th mile track.

 

Congrats on your new times

 

Hmmm, not really.. I guess it'd be good for testing 60's for me, but I'm very much into 1/4 passes..

thanks guys
