Rock Falls June 4th?
Is anyone gonna be going on this day? I'd prefer going on a Fun Day, but this is the next one and I just wanna get a clue on how my car will run so I can see the progress over summer. I will be going on this day and my friend might go also. I wont be expecting my car to run as quick as last year, because of the tranny, but hopefully a 14.0 atleast.

Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I'll be bringing the dirty bird out, along with some more car buddies I know with VW's
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I might go that day. the last fun day on may 15 was awsome way better then any sport compact day Ive gone
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I might be able to go then, I'd like to get new tires put on the front so I don't spin the entire way down. I work at 10pm that night so I might wait til the next time.

Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
After testing my car a little, I'm starting to think my car shouldn't be at the track yet. Still having third gear problems and thats causing me to have to shift very slow and that's gonna end up with a slower e.t. So I might wait a while before I go...

June 19th is the next Fun Day. If the silver car isn't ready to go for that, I will probably take the bike over. I am guessing Nash's car will be done by then too.

Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I'm going with some friends (they have assorted rice mobiles), and I won't be running my car (because I cant tune the f***er since my logger is f***ed up).
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
im going, would anyone be willing to let me borrow there helmet? and is race gas going to be for sale?
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
they sell race gas for $5 a gallon at the track, but I forgot if its 110 or 116 octane, you can get 110 for $3.50 a gallon at the short stop in No. St. paul and bring it too the track in a tank...
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I will be there on race gas. Mainly just to see what i can trap at, but i might try to launch it a few times since we are towing it there. If i break it won't be that devistating.
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I will be going hopefully.

They sell or at least used to sell Phillips B32 at RF. I think they call it 110, which is it's pump (R+M)/2 octane rating and Kath called it 114(it's research octane), when they used to sell it. But it's motor octane is 106, which is the important one. C16's motor octane is 117. Most "110"s you find around will have a motor octane in the 105-106 range. |
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
would anyone be willing to borrow me a helmet?
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
You guys sell C16 at Elite?
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
Yes they do.
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
LSE is all packed up and ready to run, lets pray for a dry day and a safe trip.
Good luck to all that run, we'll post results (ryan's galant and randy's accord are running). |
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
You guys know it was supposed to rain all day right? I doubt they will hold racing today...
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
Rain date is tomorrow. Maybe it'll happen. :D
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
Guess they ran today with a few rain delays. Must've busted out their lawnmower looking track dryers.
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
Mostly rained out, neither car ran exactly what is expected, I'll let ryan post his times, randy's car had issues.
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
Anyone fast there? Was Jordan there with his white drag Civic hatch? What happened with Randy's car? We want times and stories. Good or bad.
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
Randy's car just didn't run in boost. We are thinking it's fuel supply issues because that's the only thing that's changed. He ran like a 17.5 and a 14.5?
My car was just gay. I ran SLOWER trap speeds than last year when I was off the spray. Makes me feel like my time/money was well spent. Best no nitrous pass was 13.065 @ 102 or 103. On the spray, 12.2XX at "125.00". (new best) That trap speed is crap though cause I also managed a 12.5XX at 937 MPH. I think it’s time for a new turbo and IC, that’s were my system is lacking. In general just another craptastic day at Rock Falls. At least it wasn’t too hot out side. |

Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
It would have been nice to how damn fast you were going at certain points, and I love how they kept running like nothing was wrong....
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
937mph is movin. How much nitrous were you spraying?
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
LOL! New record for fastest drag car! Sweet.
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
that 14.5 i trapped at like 700+mph in the 1/8 mile and let off so i slowed down to 500+mph in the 1/4. lol rockfalls sucks.
It's most likely the fpr because we couldn't raise the fuel pressure. So at about 20lbs of boost it would just missfire. i didn't even get half way down the track any pass and i didn't attempt to launch it either. So we'll figure out the fuel problem get it back on the dyno and take it straight to the track from elite so that way all we have to worry about is breaking shit, and not if the car is going to run right or not. ;) |
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
sorry to hear there were problems. Good luck next time to all.
I doubt there will be a chance for me to run my car at all till Oct/Nov. Rainy season is apon us and there is 40% chance or more of Rain every day now. And each time it rains it's like a flash flood. So much so that I really believe my eclipse would probably get water coming in the doors if I was out driving in it.... but on the flip side it's hella fun out in the Jeep. |
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I was running with no jets for that pass. Just wish it would have hooked.
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
I just didn't go once I heard it was gonna rain so much! Sorry you guys had problems though!
|
Re: Rock Falls June 4th?
what was the fastest car there? Damn...i want to run my dad's Tundra V8 this coming up summer!
