Drag racing Shannonville August 13th

[Steve]

It's 10:30am Friday and I'm not sure I can handle it, 5:00pm will see me running to the parking lot and trying to navigate the weekend/cottage-country traffic to Shannonville. I have two mods since I last ran, a SRI instead of a CAI and polyurethane filled engine mounts. Most of my local car club is going as well. One of the members has a 1982 Dodge Rampage that ran a 13.8@96 last, but this time he has nitrous. Another member with a Mazdaspeed Protege is hoping that cranking the boost from 6.9 to 11 or 12 will let him beat the Rampage. I'm not so sure. I have a digital camera this time, borrowed from my roommate, and my friend has a digital with video and audio so maybe I can get one of my passes recorded. I'll post up tomorrow with results, pics, and hopefully video.

So your still on for Shannonville eh there SteveO?
Good luck buddy.
I'll be at Cayuga. If it's not still wet.

[Steve]

yeah, the wet is the problem, I have to call Shannonville at 5 and see if they are still running or not. Hope all goes well at Cayuga if the track is dry tonight.

EDIT: Stupid Shannonville, their 1/4mile timer wasn't working, so it was 1/8th mile all night. And the track was soaked from earlier rain at the beginning, even I couldn't get traction, the heavy duty stuff was really having trouble, though after everyone made three runs the track was dried out. So all I have is 1/8th mile times. My previous best run was:
.630 Reaction
2.332 60ft
10.194 1/8 ET
69.21 1/8 mph
15.975 1/4 ET
85.22 1/4mph

This time I managed a fastest pass of
2.373 60ft
10.456 1/8 ET
67.55 1/8 mph

The changes since last time would be less tread on the tires, the poly-urethane filled engine mounts and a SRI instead of a CAI.

On a seperate run I managed a .624 reaction time. I really need to work on that, I want consistent .550 or better.

not bad at all, what else you have done to your car?

[Steve]

The total list is in my member profile, but as far as anything that might affect performance goes:

EvoFusion CAI converted to SRI (for now)
Jspeed underdrive accessory pulleys
polyurethane-filled front and rear engine mounts
Clutch return value spring removed
TB coolant bypass
