Going to NYIRP tomorrow (Friday)?

I will be there in my usual spot (the paved pits nearest the staging lanes). 99% sure the car will out, FWIW. Not sure what to expect, as I have only driven it ~25miles so far this year.

If you are going, let me know where to find you or look me up!

I would be there, but I am going to Staten Island to pick up my new Z.

I am sure your car will rock

I suggest checking Mapquest.

It went well, the weather was beautiful. My Mustang buddies all won their eliminations. Cheryl ran a personal best in the 5.0 her husband built, hitting 10.49 @ 133. I made four runs, and there is definitely going to be learning curve with this car in terms of driving and setup. The main thing I learned is that I am going to have to launch off the brakes. I was trying to stall against the footbrake and couldn't get the r's up high enough to launch hard. So, the 60' was off 0.25-.30sec comared to last year. In spite of that, I ran faster than my best previous non-nitrous run by about 0.10sec. So, with a good launch I should expect an overall improvement of ~.40-.50sec off the N2O, putting me in the mid-tens. If I see another 1/2sec with the N2O, that would hit my goal of 10.00.

Next Saturday is my next planned date. I want to have the transbrkae in operation by then. The next MOMS race (Sept 12th) is a "Brand-X" vs. Ford Shootout. Shouldn't us WNY F-body guys show up? I plan to be there with the full 150hp shot.

Hoping to see some of you there.
