Sept. 22nd Rock falls results

[turbotalon1g]

First off, i wanna say thanks to Matt D. for the food and grilling.
Good time, great weather.
Track was alright-bad for traction, i didn't have too much of a problem not like the grease ball they call BIR wed. night drags.

First run
Me, Sam, 80lbs+ tool bag, laptop(in bag with other stuff), 1 gallon of water.
R/T .540
60' 1.724
1/8 7.9
MPH 89.32
1/4 12.33
MPH 112.83
------------------- I guess they announced after my run that you have to run a 14.0 or slower to carry a passenger, oh well. :wink:

2nd Run, Me solo from now on.
RT .486
60' 1.79
1/8 7.9
MPH 89.34
1/4 12.272
MPH 115.16
------------- At this point i am thinking my car is gonna run a best of 12.1 or 12.2 today, maybe a 12.0, but not really.

-12.0
-12.1

Skip to end of day, realize that i need to shift earlier,so i am down to about 6300rpm. Need more top end.

60' 1.7
1/4 11.997
MPH 116.53

Did this twice in a row, needless to say i am stoked about it.
Definitely made my mind on what a perfect DSM daily setup would be, E16G/FP18G, built 2.0, cams, E85.
Thats if my new one goes wrong.

My car for those that don't know: B16G, spike to 24 settles to 17, E85, FMIC, 880s, FP race mani, Snow tires.
Car weighs 3280 with me in it.
:drive:

It was a good day, seemed like the track was decent and the weather was great. Good company, good food (thanks Matt) and fast cars what could be better. Here's a crappy video I took with my camera on the 11.99. Sorry I didn't know how to zoom.

Nice job getting into the 11's! I think you will change your mind of a perfect DSM when you get the new setup in :D

[A//// Guy]

Damn! Those are some good times out of that setup! Nicely done.

Congrats on the 11s Brownman!!!!!

Good job Brownman!

Sorry I couldn't go, my Evo took some damage in a parking lot while I was in Best Buy. Needless to say the asshole didn't leave any info. I had the bumper apart today as I am modifing the crash bumper for a JDM rear bumper.

My day didn't go as well as Brownman's. I spent the whole day fighting for traction. I was spinning the tires to the 1/8 mile mark. then picking up 40 MPH in the back 1/2 of the track.

Best of the day 12.66 @ 124mph

best MPH of 125 on a low 13 second pass.

But it was a good time and nothing broke so it was a good day.

I'll have video's up tomarrow.

Congrats turbotalon on hitting 11's. I hit my first 11 second at the rock last October. It's a great feeling. That was my goal so I really didn't have any desire to do any racing this year.

---

and dam! 12.66 @ 125. That's some bad ass spinning you had going on there :D

[scheides]

Nice work brownman! Great times, now get some cams in that thing!

[turbotalon1g]

Thanks everyone, it was nice to meet up with everyone, i think we inspired Nick to stop the part out!
Well almost, he is too smart for that.

Well my plans for the future are not as gung-ho as they were, I am basically gonna end up running the 2.0L till it dies, I need to re-torque the head studs as I am pushing coolant and that is the last thing to try to fix it.
The new turbo will go on, but I have the cams, so hopefully I will have a nice powerband with that for a while, probably not as responsive as I want, we will just have to wait and see.
This is all part of the fact that I have been unemployed for 2 months, need to go back to school and need to pay for my house, on a good note I have a PT job setup for full time when i go back to school and things are looking up, it will just take time and pushed everything back a bit.
But don't worry cause next season there should be 2 brown's terrorizing the town!
I will keep everyone updated and start a project thread, its actually quite interesting considering I have improved a full second every year, so you know what that means!!!
