Nice day but we only got 2 runs, Typical of Pacific raceways
Didnt honk the horn till 2nd gear, wish I would have hit it alittle earlier.
I might head out tomorrow to see if I can put "LUG NUTZ" below me on the list
Any way. Track was not very good and PR was worse. TWO RUNS ALL DAY!!!
The run went like this. Staged it nice while the other guy sat on both bulbs Launched the car and it felt ok. Nothing spectacular. As the car was coming down the first 100 shot pushed its way in and held it up a little longer and sat it down softer then usual. At the same time the tach shot up over 6,000 where it stayed for the rest of the run. As the rest of the shot worked its way in the tach just kept climbing. The run felt fairly normal except the high RPMs. When I caught second it was just delivering the rest of the juice and as I shifted the RPMs only dropped from 7,100 to 6,200 and tagged the limiter in the process. On the third gear shift it only dropped from 7,150 to 6,400 RPM. Then at about the 1,000ft mark the shift light came on again saying it was going by 6,900 and by the time I hit the trapps the juice was shutting off and it was all over the 7,200 Rev limiter.
Looks like I need a new Torque Converter. Oh well
Here are the stat's. Not very impresive but what we got.
1.498 60ft on Juice (usually 1.42-1.47 N/A)
went through the 1/8th at 6.529 @ 108.42
Hit the 1/4 timers at 10.134@136.33 on the rev limiter.
Time to send the good heads off and start planning for next year. This year was a bust
BUT HEY! as Thor brought up if it ran 2/10ths faster it would need the Chassis Cert it has!

Well you can put me on the list first time out with the Vette all year.
Same mods as last year just added a Racetronix 255 fuel pump.
60' was about a tenth off due to spinning but the car ran good.
BTW, this year's list is the longest by quite a bit. I know there's still a couple dates at some of the tracks before this can be considered final, but it's been a good year. It looks like wws699 gets the most improved time for the year(congratz), and Navy David SS gives us our first 8(also congratz).

Yep, I'm done for the year. Thanks for putting your time into the list. You did a good job managing this, and it's one of the funnest parts of this section.
Thanks. It's fun to manage as well. Next year I'm thinking of posting two lists. The first is the same thing we're used to, and the second would be an archive list of the best all time runs from all previous years for which I have data(back to 2005). I just thought some might like to see how they compare to some of our old friends who have moved on or moved away.

Reason: didnt includ last digit
For the record, I will not be updating this for 2009. Most of the people in this section have moved to another site and I will be keeping the 2009 Run List at that site. PM me if you wish to know where.
