BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Anyone interested?

Looking to leave the cities about 2pm from Blaine.


"BIR opens the track to anyone with a helmet (Snell 2005 or newer), a valid drivers license and a street-legal car, truck or motorcycle. The gates open at 4 p.m. You can make as many runs as possible until the track closes at dusk. During that time, you get to use the starting line tree, the scoreboard and the burn-out box, just like the pros do. We even have an announcer calling the action over the PA system."

I will be there either way man, first day at the track to see what type of time this is gonna run so i can get my safety stuff all figured out. Hopefully you make it up.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

My car won't be ready. But I'd mabey go to see what you and dark2g run.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

I would like to make it out if my car is running

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

I'd go!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Weather is never right but looks like it will be nice.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

My car is out but I think I'll still go incase more tuning is needed on Andre car. Should be a good time.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Hmmm.... I would really like to see where my car is sitting right now as I probably won't do any more mods until winter. Let me see if I can work something out, but I probably can't get out that early. I could probably take off at 4 though.

I could hear them from our place on Gull a couple weeks ago, almost made me want to put down my brandy and head over there to spectate. :)

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Do it! We can meet at your place or something.

It will be a good time. Weather looks good!

I encourage you all to come out, more the merrier!!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Wish I could but I'll be working. Good luck!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Say hi to that red haired maiden for me.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Too bad my lame ass works 6-6. The two and a half hour drive from where I work work make going useless. Too bad. I miss going to these damn things.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Good luck out here brown

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Well?

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

I may be speeding out of turn but the fastest run I saw Aaron run was 11.4@118, but I think I remember him saying he went 11.39 or something, he made a lot of passes.
Andre went 11.2@135 with what ended up being a melted phenolic intake manifold gasket, the car had idle surge and eventually we lost the wideband. The car would pop at 7k rpm so pretty much no way to go fast. We were very disappointed as the car was nuts a few days before and we prob wasted any decent runs at the track while we were piling on the brakes out first four or five runs. Oh well, pretty sure we are going to bring three cars down for the next one, Andre, mine, Jessie, maybe guy's too.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Yeah, I ran a ton of 11.40s, I ran 2 11.3s@119.
Nothing to complain about here, other than I ridiculously underestimated the power of cams.
My car has no power up top, how you say?
I trap 96mph in the 1/8 and only 119 in the 1/4. I'm hardly picking up anything in the back half of the track and you can plain old feel it when driving the car.

It's a long day of racing, I made 17 passes in 2 hrs with basically no issues. (Ran out of gas on one pass, discovered my alternator tensioner bolt is not tightening up completely)

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

You should come to the next one with some cams

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Damn it big brown puttin down the numbers! Nice work dude!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Very impressive Brown!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Awesome runs Aaron! Cams seem like a logical next step. A used set of whatever brand 264's or 272's could probably be found for a couple hundo. Or if you have a set of spare stockers laying around, could send them in to get reground like I did on my Lexus, think they charged me like $250.

BC 280's for $250, maybe a little big for that setup though.

Kelford 272's for $350

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

That is scootin! Feels good I bet to finally have that thing wrapped up and cruisin reliably!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Thanks guys, yeah I'm very happy that the car can be competitive now, it's all I've wanted since I bought it.

I still have the shift box to install as well, which will make it even more consistent going down the track. I don't know if I have any video, but some of the launches it was a handful and had to be driven.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

I have four of your launches and yes your Car was going sideways unlike Andres car lol talk about bad ass smoke show. Have a really cool vid from back of his car catching you on the big end. Both cars were pretty fast

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Post that ish!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Thanks man. I've been busy and then lazy to go thru my vids and pics.

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Nice!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Good job Brown, she goes down the track good!

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Who ever owns/drives the 2G need a shift light or something because it's on limiter a lot!

Brown what does the slip look like with your car, Where can it improve at?

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

Lol wow shift light, if you had read some you would have seen it was breaking up at 7k. Normally don't need to shift until 9k. Car was broken. Oh well

Re: BIR Wednesday night drags 7/16
 

I'm going thru my track day stuff now.

60': 1.65
1/8: 7.23-7.35
1/8 mph : 96/97
1/4: 11.33 - 11.44
1/4: 119-120

I'll update here in a bit with pics/slips.

Nate, I need to get top end, it's basically non-existent on this car.
Anyone that see's the car move can tell, Nuke and Fuji saw it last friday night, you can feel it driving the car too.

I also need to get shift box in so I can get the car shifting more consistently.
All my passes were with 0 adjustments to tire pressure, susp. or anything like that.
