I do want to race...so badly, i want to try to get some high 12's out of my bolt on fbody, but it will have to wait. See you dude in a few hours.

ninja edit: I might meet you guys down there too, i have been sick and since i am getting to bed so late i don't know how i will feel in the morning. I def need to get a decent amount of sleep till i feel better, i'll be there either way...just might not make it to starbucks.

 

Good morning Peeps !

Have a great time at the drag strip today.....I really need to go out there and run sometime. I would just like to know I can do with the launch & times for Bolt on's.

 

then you should go today fithamoto, dont be lame

 

just drove past the exit and I bet I will be down there tomorrow. Such bad timing.

 

Well, I didn't get any real good clean runs in, but I'm glad I got to get back on the drag strip.

 

I had a fantastic time and got good clean runs that i am very happy with

 

my car was willing, newb driver was holding her back. i have the trap to get some great times but yeah, i need more practice.

 

Although there was room for improvement, I think you did pretty well. Of course, working on the launch is a given, but I think your shifting could be much faster also.

 

yeah, shifting could definitely use work but that's actually my strong point too. i never miss a shift and im pretty good about hitting my shift points when im actually paying attention, which is usually everytime after the first run. first runs are just a blur to me, i dont remember most of it. things start slowing down once you get use to the adrenaline rush. launching is my biggest issue. just when i got started to get a feel for street tires, i switched to R compounds. i should have gone lower on my tire pressure but for some reason it completely escaped my mind. i should be launching from a higher rpm while feathering the clutch to optimize the power im able to put down with traction. for the most part i was being either too aggressive with the clutch or not aggressive enough at a too low of a rpm. i didnt bog per say but i wasnt getting a good push off the line either. but, this is what practice is for and i have a better game plan for next time. i will break 11's soon, very soon damnit! lol.

 

I have some pics, not many of your cars but just a few photos of a few cars out there. I am working on the videos right now, they should be up later on tonight.

Here is the seton flickr.

 

Hopefully this works, first time trying to upload videos.

Nick, you rock man. Thanks for the photos and videos! Now I can show my 10 year old brother wtf i was doing yesterday.

 

Nice pictures and videos, Nick.

@ my run against Jason (mine popped out of 1st after the launch). Too bad you didn't get my 12.5 run - oh well.

 

made it look even worse since i seriously red lighted.

 

Wow those drag wheel setup looks beefy Chris. Were they hooking good?

 

Yeah, I like how they look overall. I personally prefer the Hoosiers I had over these, but these aren't bad.

 

No problem guys, it was fun...too bad i couldn't make some passes tho Gotta get some sctrach and get my car tip top again.
