72MC Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Mine flew out the window on the way back to the hotel. It was the strangest thing . I can tell you this, it wasn't pretty. My 1/8 mile times at this track were a full second slower than at my home track . I will give no excuses except I blew. - Dave
502ci Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Where are the timeslips?? My best was "slightly" slower than my normal, it was an 11.89 at 112...even my mph was slower...
502ci Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Mike (the red car) was running 11.50's with issues also.
72MC Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Well, like I told Carl, Mike, Bill, and Greg, off the line I would spin and grab, spin and grab until it would go. 60' times were rotten. Also, for some reason I was not very focused at the tree. I think the pillow behind my head fell which woke me up on the first run. In my young drag racing career(still felt like a track virgin), on my third run I got squirrelly midway down the track. Hadn't ever experienced that before and I was still in the groove. - Dave
1972mc Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Having never raced 1/4 (plenty of 1/8th), best was 14.01 99.2mph. Dang that was after a jet change but not enough time to change again to get into the 13's and over 100!!!! Had a blast (even with a brain f$#t of starting my burnout in the water box-what a rookie mistake!?!) Carl
jpnewlin Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like it was loads of fun regardless of the numbers.
Chevyss Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Looks good, Monte vs Monte. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Jared Richey Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Great Pics. I was hoping Dave would hook up, but its got a lot of HP for a badly prepped track.
Monteman1971 Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like fun but sounds like the track wasn't prep'd properly.....wish I was there!!! Steve
502ci Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Looks like fun but sounds like the track wasn't prep'd properly.....wish I was there!!! Steve I can't complain, I had perfect traction with no wheel spin...
Mike 57 Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 I had a little bit of traction issues, I think the biggest thing was the hot humid air.
502ci Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 I would have said Dave and Carl had horse crap on their tires (litterly) and had bad traction but they changed them when they got there...
72MC Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Yea, we drove through enough of it on the way to the track didn't we ? Talk about emissions issues, those horses we doing their business everywhere . - Dave
