Midwestern Members - Rt. 66 Tuesday the 28th.

Anyone else going? i'm taking off work to see what the 71 can do. :burn:

If the DA isn't +3000 like it has been, I will be there. I have a few new things on the car that I'd like to try out. :secret2:

I'd like to go, we'll see if the cars ready by then :cool:

I've still been trying to get out this season. Never been to 66 though, and i cant find hours on their site is it 5-10 or what?

.

I believe they say 4-10, but stop running at ~9:30. If it ever stops raining.

yeah, gates normally open at 4pm. ill be there right as they open.

BTW sir you have a E-Mail

My new wheels and tires won't be here till probably the end of next week. So maybe the Tuesday after that I might be down.

I might go if we get some descent weather.

Call the track before you go. I know for sure they canceled the Mopar event this weekend due to flooding/power problems.

I'm sure they will be up and going by tuesday, but i'll call and make sure.

bumpy, its beautiful outside! high of 90, 77 out right now. low of 68 with a full moon!

Anyone know what the DA will be today?

DA is +2934 right now, and it is still not the hottest part of the day. Good luck...

next week might be cooler ;)

Yea, the car was running REALLY weird today... i think the DA had something to do with it, and my lack of experiance with carb tuning.


made 6 runs tonight and had a BLAST. This car is so awsome, i can't wait to tune it and see what it can really do. Tonight, i found out that my passenger side muffler was being held on by one bolt, and a whole lotta luck, so i removed it for the rest of the night(2 passes)

I really wanted to break 11's tonight, but after my last run i threw my belt clean off, and the temp. hit about 250 :mad: I'm guessing it threw it right after i crossed the traps. The pressure was so much the burst seal on the bottem of the catch can blew off, thus causing an EXTREME mess, and alot of frustration.

Best R/T was .017

Best pass was the final one

R/T .237 (they messed up on the tree, i wasent even stalled up)
60' 1.751
330 4.982
1/8 7.733
mph 89.10
1000 10.117
1/4 12.139
MPH 111.15

BIG thanks to John(Mrdragster1970) for the use of his suit, I really cant thank you enough, I owe ya one!

It is a new car and you have some issues to work out; it happens. Glad to see you at least made some clean passes and got some baseline runs in.

Did you see my in the red Jeep driving by and honking when you pulled in? :lol:

spazman....it's a new combo and your tune on the carb tonight compared to a cooler night will be completely different anyways. I'm sure with time and possibly a wideband you could lower the tuning time involved on each track day considerably. Eventually get that 60' down to 1.5s or lower and you'll drop your ET by .3-.5 as well right there. Glad it went straight and no issues in that area.

Any time you make it home in 1 piece is a good night of racing. Keep at it, and with a little better traction you will get your 11. Last time I checked my weather station it was 3600', so it'll come. Nice meeting you & your family.

Gorgeous car by the way. Makes both of my 2nd gen's look like crap.

Matt- yeah i did but i diddent recognize you!

xpndbl3- yeah it hooked and went straight like an arrow, i'm going to tear into the ignition when i replace the alternator to see what my timing is at.

John- thanks again man, i'm going to keep at it, my next target is to break 11's

bringing it out to applebees friday night?

cant, i work 3pm-11pm

i need a new FT job....

Thanks for nothing, you didn't honk at me, I was right behind him. Maybe the ATV in the truck bed blocked me??
