Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

First off, i wanna say thanks to Matt D. for the food and grilling.
Good time, great weather.
Track was alright-bad for traction, i didn't have too much of a problem not like the grease ball they call BIR wed. night drags.

First run
Me, Sam, 80lbs+ tool bag, laptop(in bag with other stuff), 1 gallon of water.
R/T .540
60' 1.724
1/8 7.9
MPH 89.32
1/4 12.33
MPH 112.83
------------------- I guess they announced after my run that you have to run a 14.0 or slower to carry a passenger, oh well. :wink:

2nd Run, Me solo from now on.
RT .486
60' 1.79
1/8 7.9
MPH 89.34
1/4 12.272
MPH 115.16
------------- At this point i am thinking my car is gonna run a best of 12.1 or 12.2 today, maybe a 12.0, but not really.

-12.0
-12.1

Skip to end of day, realize that i need to shift earlier,so i am down to about 6300rpm. Need more top end.

60' 1.7
1/4 11.997
MPH 116.53

Did this twice in a row, needless to say i am stoked about it.
Definitely made my mind on what a perfect DSM daily setup would be, E16G/FP18G, built 2.0, cams, E85.
Thats if my new one goes wrong.

My car for those that don't know: B16G, spike to 24 settles to 17, E85, FMIC, 880s, FP race mani, Snow tires.
Car weighs 3280 with me in it.
:drive:

It was a good day, seemed like the track was decent and the weather was great. Good company, good food (thanks Matt) and fast cars what could be better. Here's a crappy video I took with my camera on the 11.99. Sorry I didn't know how to zoom.

Nice job getting into the 11's! I think you will change your mind of a perfect DSM when you get the new setup in :D

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Damn! Those are some good times out of that setup! Nicely done.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Congrats on the 11s Brownman!!!!!

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Good job Brownman!

Sorry I couldn't go, my Evo took some damage in a parking lot while I was in Best Buy. Needless to say the asshole didn't leave any info. I had the bumper apart today as I am modifing the crash bumper for a JDM rear bumper.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

My day didn't go as well as Brownman's. I spent the whole day fighting for traction. I was spinning the tires to the 1/8 mile mark. then picking up 40 MPH in the back 1/2 of the track.

Best of the day 12.66 @ 124mph

best MPH of 125 on a low 13 second pass.

But it was a good time and nothing broke so it was a good day.

I'll have video's up tomarrow.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Congrats turbotalon on hitting 11's. I hit my first 11 second at the rock last October. It's a great feeling. That was my goal so I really didn't have any desire to do any racing this year.

---

and dam! 12.66 @ 125. That's some bad ass spinning you had going on there :D

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Nice work brownman! Great times, now get some cams in that thing!

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Thanks everyone, it was nice to meet up with everyone, i think we inspired Nick to stop the part out!
Well almost, he is too smart for that.

Well my plans for the future are not as gung-ho as they were, I am basically gonna end up running the 2.0L till it dies, I need to re-torque the head studs as I am pushing coolant and that is the last thing to try to fix it.
The new turbo will go on, but I have the cams, so hopefully I will have a nice powerband with that for a while, probably not as responsive as I want, we will just have to wait and see.
This is all part of the fact that I have been unemployed for 2 months, need to go back to school and need to pay for my house, on a good note I have a PT job setup for full time when i go back to school and things are looking up, it will just take time and pushed everything back a bit.
But don't worry cause next season there should be 2 brown's terrorizing the town!
I will keep everyone updated and start a project thread, its actually quite interesting considering I have improved a full second every year, so you know what that means!!!

It was a good time, congrats to Aaron for breaking into the 11s. As much as I dislike drag racing I still enjoy hanging out and watching friends race.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Here's the info from my races.

1st time ever doing a 1/4 mile drag:
R/T: .471
60 ft: 2.153
1/4: 14.019
MPH: 97.69

2nd time:
R/T: .411
60 ft: 2.004
1/4: 13.759
MPH: 101.84

3rd time (missed 2nd gear pretty bad):
R/T: .313
60 ft: 2.099
1/4: 14.173
MPH: 98.55

Overall it was a good experience, I had to learn everything that morning about how to approach the lights and when to go, I was really nervous every time. The last run was elimination and I didn't realize one side went first (I was racing a stock-ish truck), so he went a full 3 seconds before me which really threw me off too.

I think if I learn how to launch before my next visit I should be able to get 1/2 second quicker overall. I'm happy I got over 100mph though.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

nice! glad to see you broke 11's! as much as i had fun at hin i really want to get out and watch some racing. whether looked great and i here their was some good food! way better than concession(sp) stand crap!

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

How much power is that on Aaron?

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

294 from last dyno, but i added more timing as much as i can and if you go off of airflow i would say 320, but i like to say 300/300

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Here's the video I put together from the day. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoID=18727133

Its mostly my car spinning all day but Aaron's two fastest passes are on there too.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Nice video! Too bad you can't get that thing to hook better Carl.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Some fast domestics there that day. I used to just hammer them guys every time running 12's, looks like some have stepped up their game.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

Didn't look like that many were running faster than 12s if not 13s. It they were faster than 12 they were deep 11s at least.

Re: Sept. 22nd Rock falls results
 

looked like you guys had an awsome time! I wish I had time to get there.
