Nice runs everyone.

Brian- what did the announcer make fun of you for?

That's what I thought but didn't want to say it was to fast. I knew it was a low 13 though.

Being an import, having a dial in of 12.0, with a full street trim car.

these aren't quotes but will give the general idea of what was said. I'm sure the guys who actually heard can probably tell you exactly what he said. I only reviewed the tape once and the video was cut off during some of what the announcer was saying.


Things like:

12.0 - He must have a pretty optomistic personality to put up that time. Fallowed by
a comment about High Hopes for a Street driven car. And then something else.


Hense why I had Joe put - Daily Driven, running Pump Gas. (originally we'd put Bitch after that) but I thought that would be to rude so I wipped it off.

I wanted it put on there cause that guy was ripping on imports all day long. And with the comments I'd got, even though I'd already run my 12.1 and 12.4 back to back. I was like what the hell.

So that run I was lined up against a Tubbed/Tined/Caged/Race Gas Domestic that went 12.0 to my 12.2

The domestic went:
R/T - .088
60' - 1.719
330 - 4.937
1/8 - 7.635
mph - 91.17
1000 - 9.970
1/4 - 12.010
mph - 103.48


To my:
R/T - .109
60' - 1.890
330 - 5.279
1/8 - 7.985
mph - 93.34
1000 - 10.250
1/4 - 12.2
mph - 115.78

is that a promise??? about the slicks??? i can get the axles....

Congrats to those that got some times they where happy with. Matt R those are some nice number for a motor that hates oil. And damn close to an 11 Brian. That kicks ass!

Wish I could have been there, but I was out of town this weekend. FUN TIMES!

Well maybe next time. I'll get that 11. It was my first time at the track with the GSX, my First time using the Stutter box with this set up, and there was some pretty big issues with tuning. So hopefully next time I get the oportunity to go to the tracks. The car will be running better.

No problem filming with the camera Brian. The part I may have cutoff was the run where he was going on and on about how you were "Brian Barton from Burnsville Minnesota..." Thats a lot of "B's"!

I thought it was kinda funny when the Honda guy broke on the line and the annoucer was saying "...Mom, yeah this is Timmy, I broke your car, can you come pick me up, yeah Mom I'm at Rockfalls Raceway...Don't tell Dad..."

The announcer is a tard, who cares, he thinks every civic hatch is a crx. :bounce:

Good job Brian, Matt, and Ryan on new personal best ETs.

Jim

Definete Good Job to everyone.

And CarlTalon's car is quite capable of keeping up with me when we were playing on the way there. So his numbers are way off from what the cars capable of.

But then again it a FWD DSM thing. Can put down all the numbers you want. But at the Tracks we just can't seem to get the times to go along with them.

Sounds like decent traction on sunday, really wanted to go!
Fun day they usually prep it a bit better.
I was driving for 16 hrs straight yesterday... now have a 750 turbo in the back of the dakota! WOOT!

Nice runs Brian! What are you using for logging? Do you mean 2 degrees of knock retard (DSMLink) or 2 counts of knock? I'd be happy with either on my car.

Nice times Barton, it's about time. And get used the the stupid announcers there. I've been getting those comments for 5 years now. They always act all surprised when a stock looking DSM wastes a drag-only domestic.

Guess I better get off my dead ass. There's no way in hell Barton's going to have a better time than mine. Doh.

HAHAHA :stick:

I'm using DSMLINK - so for every 1 count of knock it pulls 1 degree of timing.

When we dyo'd I had "0" counts for most of it. and then 1 blip of 1.7 in the middle.


Typically I don't mind 1.7 counts (nothing but when I'm getting constant 3.2+) counts for almost the entire run something was definetely going on.

And after review previous logs my knock counts has been this bad ever since I went from Race Gas Back down to pump gas.

Cause the first log with that amount of knock is from when I switched back over.

Not sure what's up? I know my Coolant temps are way different from when we dyno'd.

I tuned the car with Coolant temps of 206 on up to 216 at the end of the Pull.

Where as now I start at 176-and by the end of the run I'm at 186. But I'll want to add.

I didn't get these coolant numbers till the whole oil pump thing where I finally switched thermostats. So I had a good week of logs where the knock was still pressant before we switched to the welded Oil Return, Dump Tube Routed back in,
And the non-welded Visc swapped out.

I'm lost as to why I have knock. But tonight while Jenny's at work I'm going to do a compression Test, Put in some New NGK's if I can find some, and also Fill the car back up with different gas. Hopefully that'll solve/reveal the problem.

Anyrate had a great time and for the first time I went to the track and got back with only 1 scare, and so far no problems to the car. (haven't had that happen since my first year of Racing) So it was a very good feeling when I pulled into the garage last night.

i was there it was a blast saw all your cars. but no one standing next to them....
who had the galant vr-4 was that guy with u. i saw some damn good times love the muscle car guys reaction when i was yelling as you guys flew by.

love racing on a fun days, the old guys hate to see an import beat them!!!!

Ok Some people had asked me what PSI I was seeing when I launched and I just reviewed the logs of my runs.

and typically speaking it's based of how well I worked the clutch. I can see if I slipped the clutch to much, etc.

But at the launch I'm seeing 17.5lbs/min with the stutterbox set at 5750rpms.

On my best run 12.1 - I let the clutch out very quickly and the lbs/min never dropped they just kept climbing.

on every other run where I slipped the clutch my lbs/min went down the worste being my last run of the day 12.2, where it went from 17lbs/min down to 8.2lbs/min

That would be me. Ran a best of 12.772 @ 108.47 MPH

Some of you guys should have come on down to Ceder falls on sat, the track was sweet and I got almost 15 runs in back to back I had to take a break!just in the day! I did not stay untill the night racing but some others did and said it just got better!

Good times,some time we got to get a big group down there and have some fun. ;)

Gratz guys! Especially you Brian, it is good to see you finally get some #'s to go along with all of the work you have put into it. Seeing this makes me want to get my car done! I have 2 customer cars that need work first though. Hopefully I can start on it after labor day.

Awesome times everyone! Sounds like it was a good day there for the most part :D

Thats all I have to say about my times. we'll see what happens with slicks studder box and c-16 ;)

I don't know about a promise, but I'd be interested in some axles if you can get a good price
