Weather.com has been showing Saturday as no rain, and Sunday as scattered T-Storms for the past 3-days for Eau Claire, WI and still says the same.

Weatherbug.com is also showing chance of t-storms on Sunday. I want to go this weekend. So since Sunday is showing good chance of rain, I'm going for Saturday since it seems like a sure thing.

OK, I'll see if someone can go with me, but I might be a late show as I'll be leaving home at about 8am. I'd like to go tomorrow.

I will no longer be able to attend this... My cooling isn't sufficient enough for my car and I ordered a radiator and the FAL kit for my car today...

What a beautiful day, and some real awesome cars out there today.

I'm definately getting more consistent now. I ran an 11.8 on the first run, because I let off soon as I hit 4th gear, because I didn't want to get booted that soon.

Followed it up with two 11.1's, and a last and best run of 11.0@133 before they told me I couldn't run anymore.

I had consistent 1.8 60' which I think is decent. But up top I was seeing a ton of knock, and pulling a ton of timing, and killling my top end, which is why I think I wasn't seeing better traps.

Overall though, I'm happy that I'm getting to be more consistent, and it was a ton of fun again!! I can't wait to hit up Brainard at MAP's event :)

Also, congrats to Kevin for running some great times with his new setup!

Awesome. That's the same one my g/f got on video. You got my last run too didn't you?

Had a good time, glad I went

First pass: 11.47@127mph/1.8 60ft I couldn't believe it!
2nd :11.9 125mph crappy 60ft
3rd :11.65 125mph crappy 60ft
4th :12.2 125mph crappy 60ft

My car basically doesn't launch hard, or have any low end grunt. I blame too conservative timing.

Thanks Brian for the gas!
Nice seeing brandon too!

Looks like you need to work on that 2step a little. Have shane look at it.

The launch control isn't the problem. I even tried Anti-Lag on two of the runs making like 15-20psi on the line. Maybe my pressure plate springs are worn.

Basically, my car doesn't make much torque period. I can't even spin the tires!

Re: 5/30 - Rock Falls SC Day
 
What RPM are you launching at? You aren't trying to spin the tires. If you spin the tires bad, then it will just shoot to revlimiter. Decent sized turbos are a lot harder to launch with than a small turbo though.

I forgot to ask you Brandon, hows the new clutch feel?

Halon 05-31-2009 07:01 PM

Re: 5/30 - Rock Falls SC Day
 
New clutch worked great!

I will trade you some of my torque for some of your traction. Anyway you still got some good times. I hope to be at the next track day.
