Went to bed at 4am because forcast was rain all day. Woke up to a train at 845am to blue skys. WTF!?
Called the track, they were drying it and would be racing in about an 2 hrs.
Hurried up, packed up car, picked up buddy and was on the road by 10.
Got to the track at 1130am, they just started.
Went to tech, and they put me in the "King of the Hill" class because I said the car runs 12s or faster. The tech guy asked where the nitrous was. I told him I didnt have any, and he replied "This thing runs 12s with no nitrous" I said yes, he asked what year i said 2003. And he gave me a look like I was lying to him.
Anyways, it was funny, he teched my car.

First run at noon, after driving for an hr and half,- lost to a tubbed truck that ran 12.0@108 with a 1.71 60ft

60' - 1.986
330- 5.442
1/8- 8.251
mph 86.78
1000 10.676
1/4 - 12.717

2nd run-Beat Some muscle car that was tubbed and had stacks out the hood, and i think nitrous.

60' - 1.936
330- 5.366
1/8- 8.151

Was about 5 mins away from another run, then it rained. SOO close to a 12.5, hell woulda been low 12s if I could cut a 1.7. I didnt have the skinnies on the back because I was in a hurry, and had the boost turned down to about 20-21 because I was tuning for the map clamp 2 nights ago, never got it installed because of some issues. Now only if I could hold 21 to redline instead of dropping to 15.. AFR was about 11.4-11.5 logged on the laptop.

Well worth the 3 runs and rush to improve my time

mid 12s is decent time. Your lucky you woke up that early. I know ppl that planned on going.. and didnt cuz it was " going to rain all day". :: tears::

[niterydr]

getting down there, congrats.

[SlowWhite]

only 3 runs. hope you got some money back or it was discounted....

[A//// Guy]

You ussually only gwt 3 test runs in.... :stick:

Unless you compete in trials.

[ACRucrazy]

I got 2 test runs, and 1 race, i won the race and was in the next round, but then it rained.

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, RF is not a place to get runs in, just wait in line for hours. And starting those damn brackets at 1pm really sucks. Fuck RF. :fworld:

[SlowWhite]

Well in a full day at Rock falls I usually get 5 runs in.

But man only getting 3 runs in for $35 is what $11 a run? not worth it in that situation.

I'd hope that they'd give some sort of credit back for rain,etc. but I know the owner is stingy like that.

[ACRucrazy]

I dunno, usually i get 10+ runs in at Rockfalls, gotta show up early, 730-800, Hell you can get in 3 runs in the first hour while everyone else is getting teched and changing tires.
If the weather wasnt shitty, I would have gotten atleast 3 time trials, and would have won King of the Hill ;) with another 4 or 5 races.

Beggers cant be choosers, if I didnt go, i woulda been done for the year with racing. Im glad I went, regardless of the situation.
