Mark's 1G Winter Projects

[Mark Leasure]

Thanks for asking. Results:

First goal achieved - trap speed over 170 MPH. The car ran 170.88MPH @ 9.33, super bad 1.89 60 foot.

I only got 4 passes in all weekend, 2 were aborted due to a poor launch in time trials and to me red lighting in the eliminations (Loosing).

Also, I broke a vibrant IC clamp at the top of third gear, on what would have been my personal best pass to date. I ran 5.7 second 1/8 mile time!

The best news is that the car went on the trailer running ready for the next event! I also figured out the anti lag so it is way better, the clutch is a new learning curve since I changed the engagement height. I learned a lot from my bad launches too.

Last weekend didnt go well. I lifted the head on the first pass...due to driver error. I bounced off of the rev limiter in 3rd while watching my boost gauge -fail.

A couple of videos from my archive, including my first 8 second pass.

Good to see you as always Mark, sucks about the head lifting! Get that rev limiter raised now before you forget :)

I scored a set of new 15" volk te37's recently. Present to myself this year! Super lucky to find them new as they are discontinued. I found a dealer that had them in inventory in the US, it took lots of messages to dealers and searching. They are 10lbs per wheel!

Merry Christmas to you! That's so light and they look great. Your slicks still have lots of life?

[goodhart]

whoops double post.

10 lbs is crazy, how wide are they?

3.5" piping is nuts too, do you think 3" is holding you back?

I saw these new style clamps the other day too, they look promising!
