Come spectate then, maybe some of the s/c guys can give my friend some pointers. He will have his procharger install and a bunch of other things done by the end of next week on his 2000 stang gt he should be in the 12.4-12.8 range.

I would consider going if I can work it out in my schedule and I need a lockable place to store tires and gear.

The Friday night TnT goes from 5 to 11, staging lanes close at 10. Not too sure about Sunday though, I think they open around 11 and run until 5 or so.

I will definitely be there Sunday and plan to be there Friday as long as I'm back in time from Lidio's.

Must... hit... 11s... :banana2:

You read my mind.....

I'm going to try to make at least two more trips to the dragstrip to get in my last N/A runs.
Next Friday night the 10th, weather permitting.
Then one of the Sunday Test & Tunes.

For the Sunday TnT you guys want to meet up early there? Since it will be the last TnT of the season and I'm sure their will be a lot racers there.

SUN. 11/19 gates open at 11:30 for TEST & TUNE AND GAMBLERS
$20 to race $10 per person to watch.

I plan on being there with my buddy in his Procharged Mustang around 10:15am-10:30am.

Anyone up for scaring some DSM's like last time? lol

Now if I just could find some drag radials in time.

I'm THERE!!!

I ran this past Friday night at Capitol's Test & Tune, but it was an unseasonably warm day!...:(

70+ degrees in the middle of November!

I ran a lot of 'hot laps' right after arriving, with poor results...mid 13s @ 101..:o

My best run of the night was a 13.35 @ 101.91 after a short cool down.

Everybody I spoke with was down @ 2 mph so I don't feel too bad.

I need some cooooool air and Sunday's high should only be @ 50 degrees.

This will be my last shot at lowering my N/A ET before I install a nasty whistle this winter....

We got two belts, just take one off. ;)

You all talking about 11/19 still?

Maybe if I'm free I'll drive up and run once or twice on the KDW-2 street tires. Don't feel like doing the drag radial swap especially without the retune for the short tires yet. We'll see how things go...maybe just come watch, or take my 'stang for a 200,000mile pass.

Thought I'd help you out on the pic.

I haven't put mine on yet cause I need to get new tires 235/70 (front) and 265/70 (rear), I'm doing the same winter setup as Dragcity.

Joe, what time are you planing to be down there?

Capitol's website says that they open the gates at 11:30 am on Sunday.

I'm going to try to get down there by @ 11:00 am to let my engine cool down before my first run.

ctrlraven

11-17-2006, 01:20 PM

Ok, my friend and are shooting to be there by 10:30-10:45a so the cars should be pretty cooled by the time we run.

Tom, Are you bringin' the DOHC VIC??

I'm looking forward to seeing that freshly tuned BEAST run!!!

I also want to check out your methanol injection kit install!

We will have some good cold air...maybe too cold in the AM for best traction.

i might have to go. ill go to the shell around the corner and put about 2 gallons in. that should be good enough for there and back.

Breadfan

11-18-2006, 08:17 PM

I'm up in the air, but if I got may just spectate - I can take some video if I do go. Don't have my drag radials at my place so if I did race it'd be on street tires...

Maybe after we should head to Chris's shop for some vids. ;)

Joe Walsh

I'm going to try to get there a little earlier than I had originally planned...

I'm looking at @ 10:30 AM.

Good COLD air!...:banana2:

Breadfan

11-19-2006, 11:19 AM

That would rock if you could get some good vids of all of us who run that is. By the time track closes and get to my job it will be dark and their isn't any lighting on the road to my shop plus the cops caught on to things after my car club's mega meet last month when I had about 70 cars packed in and around my shop lol.

LOL! That's hilarious!

Bad news guys, got a call from work early today and had to run in for sometihng, it's already 1pm good racing problably over. :( Sorry...

merc6

11-19-2006, 06:50 PM

Nope. 1 was about when they started. remember capital takes a min to actualy prep. Think they prepped faster in the rain than they did initialy.

Breadfan

11-19-2006, 06:54 PM

Dang thought it was starting at 1130...didn't start until about 1? I could've caught some action...

Had fun at Capitol today.

We had a CAM mini-meet with Chris (ctrlraven), Alan (merc6), and Tom (2ndMdRebel) all running at today's Test & Tune!

Alan put on an awesome display....spinning his winter M&S radials through most of the 1/4 mile...:rofl:

Good cold air (50 degrees with a slight headwind) resulted in my best ET ever:
12.91 @ 103.83!

Chris talked me into pulling my headlight for a better 'RAM AIR' effect, and I think that it helped.

I've run my last NA 1/4 mile....My Procharger D1SC will be installed this winter.:banana2:

LOL! 16.16 @ 93mph. I'm still surprised they called it a MM.
