That supra hauled ass

 

I was holding my own until I had a little nitrous backfire @6500 rpm and short shifted 4th (still spraying lol) thats when you see him walk away from me. I was probably pushing @600-630 whp at that time (only on 25 psi that run)

 

car survived another day of racing.
trapped 147mph (1600 ft roll at 3600da) on boost only (for reference 600whp gtrs were only trapping in the 130's)
finally got the nitrous working and the clutch gave up on me first pull in 4th gear 2nd run it let go in 3rd
hoping to drive the car around a bit and get the clutch full broken in, running again oct 23rd at maple grove (1500ft roll race) hope to beat my previous 138.9 mph there now that the car is running at full kill.
will post some vids as soon as they are available

 

What clutch did you go with this time? Those speeds are super car worthy. Nice job!

 

I might be joining you guys on the 23rd. I know my car wont be competitive lol but i still think it will be a fun day just to see what kind of speed i can trap.

 

Hey Paul... ill be there doing the roll races

Looking forward to seeing your cobalt.

Are you guys staying overnight or heading home after the event? I still haven't decided.

 

got to see you guys run this weekend! i was the one who came over and talked to you guys with my dad and buddy after the lunch break. nice runs man

 

cool man, well now I know who you are lol. always nice to meet the actual person behind the screen name,
and yeah nitrous wasn't working til the last 2 passes, then clutch crapped out so called it day.

thanks! can't wait to see some of the videos from the event since my buddies didn't record anything from the sidelines

 

Awesome, always good to have some more people there. and I'm staying there saturday night, but heading home sunday night for the long haul back upstate ny.
I"m going to be driving it for the next few days to hopefully unglaze the clutch and get it to hold again. I need to break my 138.9 run from the last event I want to get high 140's low 150's on nitrous... and I"m not going to stop trying til I do lol.

 

thanks man!
and it's a KY stage IV single disc right now (new twin disc just came in but no time to install until after the oct 23rd race)
hope it's just since I on;y have about 250 miles of break in on it. fingers crossed it holds for beast coast

 

do it man, it's a fun day regardless, I think I made 15 passes there the last time and could have had 20+ if I didn't lose a bolt on my shift linkage in the morning,
definitely a good time, it's fun to race regardless

 

and the clutch blew up, season is over for now. looks like the trans is toast too,
onto bigger and better things

 

Well that sucks. What trans are you going to go back with?

 

hey paul... nice seeing you yesterday. Unfortunate your clutch wasn't holding

Many thanks again to you and phil for helping me out yesterday.

Hope to see you next event! I'm hoping for a couple tweaks in my setup. My best trap for the day was 121 mph in the roll racing.

Track prep was awesome as the day went on though! They switched to 1/4 mile drag after 4pm. I did a few passes... best et was 12.6 on street tires in drag. Kinda pissed on my best run and I started breaking up shifting into fourth (started misfiring) so I had to let off the throttle towards the finish line.

A lot of fun though!!

 

twin disc and f23 trans for the spring

 

yeah man car decided to act like a bitch all day between the clutch slpping ever run or the car breaking up under wot. best trap was 130mph at 1/2 throttle lol, she definitely had high 140's low 150s in her, just wouldn't give it up lol.
good seeing ya again man, and that's not a bad run for the 1/4 at all, all things considering.

event was awesome, and definitely looking forward to the next.

sucks the track was awesome and my car wasn't lol. drove it daily for almost 3 weeks and it had been running perfect, figures you get to the track and all hell breaks loose lol.

think my missfire issue was caused by my catch can overfilling, pretty sure there is a decent amout of water in the intercoooler and it was getting on the maf

 

sorry i didnt make it out there guys. By the sound of it, with my luck, something would of broke on me and i would of been stranded lol.

Next year i want to get to one of these events for sure, sounds like a lot of fun. I have to get myself a truck now.

 

my car was hurt before the event. so was kind of expected. going to get the garage ready for cobalt teardown number 2million lol.
I really hope this twin disc can hold the power, really hate doing clutches in these cars

 

 

Looks like fun! Hoping to be around the same power in the coming spring.

 

it was, and I'm going for about 750whp come spring.
36-38psi and a 125 shot. going fast or exploding either way it'll be fun

 

i like the way you think. Still running the f35?

 

awesome vid! sorry to see the clutch went out...
