Re: Sept 29th rock falls
Nice Murlo. Good job going out there and actually doing it. Quickly learn it's not as easy as it looks, but whatever. As long as it was fun, and you're out there actually doing it, that's all that matters!

On my best run I bounced off the rev limiter in 4th. I need to shift to 5th.
Sadly I am stupid as I think I was letting off the gas too early, didn't notice til my 3rd run there was a light that lets you know you can stop....need a coach

It's not easy but a lot of fun! Just get some more sear time and you will run high 10's with that trap speed!

I did a couple of 11.8@90, was an eventful day. Someone put the clamp on my heater core hose at the very end of the pipe and when I pulled in for tech the back of my motor was covered in coolant so I got to deal with that, then I discovered that I have way too high crankcase pressure so I didn't want to make a full pass and risk fucking the track up with oil.
I did finally get a new best 60' of 1.590, not amazing but i'll take it.
There is so much to learn in launching the car its mindblowing. Sorry I wasn't there to help you more murlo, next time for sure.

Hell yeah congrats Aaron! Is your car the only auto that actually works?

lol, I guess it kind of does. Being honest, I'm not really happy with the car as it sits, but yes it will/can make full passes. I figured out that I can bypass the PCV as a temp fix to keep the tech people at the track happy, if I would of done it yesterday I might of made some full passes, but I'm happy trying to figure out this short track stuff, makes me wish I would of with my 5 spd car.

I believe paul said he was trapping in the mid 130's. Honestly don't remember his ET's though.

Re: Sept 29th rock falls
^Thanks, don't get me wrong not like I'm crying about it. But when I've done 1.6s for years with 16g cars on shitty tires, I'd expect a mid-low 1.5 on good summer tires and auto car.
I just like to push myself, now if I can get constant 1.5s I'll be a happy camper my other ones were 1.78 and I think maybe another 1.7 or even a 1.8.
I'll try and get the slips up soon.

I think Pauls best et was 10.3x at 134 or something like that. Pretty good considering it was his first time racing at the track ever.
I could only pull a 10.02 on mine with mid/low 140 traps all day. The nitrous wasn't working on the bike because a line came out. Got home and it was a 2 minute fix. Hoping to go back soon to try again
