Wow, looks like I missed a lot over on the drag strip. Great times!

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

I remember hitting tires. I'll have to check the videos, both of my GoPros are being returned to me tonight. Apparently the interior one is pretty gnarly.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Lol shit better beat me my shit is FWD and have to shift!

Yeah only made 2 full passes with the new set up. Also there's another 150whp to use so I'm sure it has more in it. Not to mention its went better at the 60ft&330ft before and only back handed 27mph!:redface:

This was the first pass and the vacuum line for the BOV came off and only made 21psi.

Second pass I fixed the BOV line and ran a max 27psi.

Good run Nate! Do you have the video of you getting screwed at the tree, then yelling at the official? That was hilarious.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Damn.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

details?

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

No video!:-(

So I pulled up did a 3rd gear burn out.
Pulled up to the light and the other lane already had staged.
I turn both lights on hit the 2 step at 8500rpm and wait to see the 3 yellows and they never came. (9 sec of 2 step according to my log) I let off and shut the car off and the drop the tree and the guy walks in front of my car and motions that there pushing me back so I open the door and wave the guy over and he could see there was nothing wrong with my car. He apologized and reset the light, I started the car back up and prestage and the coolant temp gauge is almost pegged at 230* and just staged and made the 9.9 pass basically over heating. :cheer:

I guess everyone standing close by we're telling at them also.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Nate Wade, Great passes and congrats on breaking into the 9's for the first time. Nice work. I saw each pass go down, they looked great. Wade that was an awesome 60 foot on the 9.22 run, car looked smooth! Nate its impressive that you were only on 27 PSI, that's less than what most people run around on the street with these days.

I couldn't get anything going that weekend, but it was good to see you guys have success!

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Nate I thought your car had issues too when you shut her done. Glad it was a track issue and not the car issue. Congrats on 9's!

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

lol wtf, why the tree not drop after you staged? 9 seconds is an eternity up there.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Similar thing happened to me there on my 10sec run a couple years ago. In my vid you can see that we both staged and bounce off the 2-step for maybe 4 seconds and finally let off.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

I was watching when Nate was staging, the official was saying the car was leaking fluids, that's why they didn't drop the lights. I'm not sure who saw that, I didn't see anything.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Congrats again on the 9s Nate!

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Nice work nate, good to see all that hard work paying off I know that car has a ton of passes in it already.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

overheatin' 9s nice!!

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

stupid camera saved to itself not sd card so vid will take a few more

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Where's Spaz's video?

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

x2?

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

I'm guessing he wants to wait until he hears back from insurance until he posts a video.

Re: 2013 Proving Grounds
 

Ha, forgot about that, probably a good idea. :cheer:
