Like the title says.. Went to the track Saturday.. it was the first day of the track.. Didn't even think I was going to run it on the way down there but when i got there i couldn't resist to see what my DSM could do.

Get registered in- 1 hour
Wait to pull up to line- 45 minutes
time to get down the track- 14.012


Yeah its horrible but the clutch was slipping terribly for some odd reason.. Like i said its been leaking oil so maybe it was the rear main seal leaking oil and getting the clutch a little wet. I had a horrible launch.. 2.119 60 foot. I'm sure it coulda ran better but i was letting off trying to get that clutch to catch.

I dunno it sucks but there are lots of problems with it right now.. Once we get it fixed and tuned i'm sure it will hit a 12 sooner or l8tr.

This is the only forum i'm actually going to post my time on since my brother told me not to run it down the track because it would dissapoint me.. I'll post up my timeslip once i get a scanner or find someone who has one.
Discuss....

A 14.01 down to a possible 12? Yeah you must of had some slippage or something :D

true.. it sounds stupid.. but with the setup i have it should hit 12's easily.. I know i'm a bad driver but i'm sure i could improve that also

Plus either the turbo is bad or the valve guides are bad.. because its leaking oil bad and shooting blue smoke.

^^ we are checking that out today after i get outta school..

Where you from that the tracks are open? Leaking oil is not something track officials would like to hear. Time to get the jackstands out.

STL. Missouri.

Track officials didn't know it leaks oil.. it just shoots blue smoke.. I agree on the jackstands

what are your mods? something must have been really off if you got 14s instead of the 12 mark.

well, he said he cut a 2.1 60' time. 1.6's are do-able with practice, right??

That would bring him down to a 13.5 with a slipping clutch and blue smoke. I could see 12's coming out of that with some work.

Takes a hell of launch to get 1.6's. That's not to say it can't be done though.

Well, even so, a 1.8 would still get him well on his way to getting through the 13's.

I have a 20g, 660's, afc, Eprom. Frontmount, HKS cams 264/272, full 3-inch exhaust, and Feramic Clutch.


The setup that was put on my car was off of a different car that ran a 12.1.. So obviously something is wrong
