Slowly dropping my ET's...
 
Although last night wasn't the greatest for drag racing, I still managed to drop 0.15 off my ET. With only a few more weeks left of racing, it's encouraging to see that my car is getting a bit quicker. Either that, or I'm finally learning how to drive. LOL :)

My new best time is now a 14.229 @ 100.3 mph! With a little luck, maybe I'll be able to pull off a 14.1 before the end of the year.

That's awesome Ed.My g/f's cousins came in last night that's why I didn't make it but there's always next weekend :).How did your bar-b-q end up the other night it sounded tastey?Oh and we might go tonight for sushi so if you happen to catch this today give me a shout.

Ed, sounds like the track prep is getting better and the air is getting cooler as well.

I noticed you cut a pretty low 60 for calgary on street tires. That explains the ET right there.

Great job though, glad to see your making improvements.

Now all you need to do is trap 104 mph consistantly like mua!!

Almost stock! ;)

I've just done the basic bolt-on, intake, muffler, pulley, Stage 1...

What works against me is the 3200 ft elevation of Calgary. :thumbsdow

you need a traction mod man and youll be in the 13's. go ingalls or bushings

Jekyl Sep 9, 2006 05:39 PM

i dont think he will get 13s in calgary by just adding a traction mod.

He is already cutting 2.29 60 foot. Its not gonna get much better than that with a traction mod. He might cut off another 10th but not 3/10ths.

I think an exhaust system, and slicks would get him there though.

sidejam Sep 9, 2006 05:51 PM

So... can I borrow your slicks for a pass??? :D j/k

I'll be doing a few more things over winter that I hope will land me in the 13's. This year, if I can get down to a 14.1XX I'll be happy.

Jekyl Sep 9, 2006 08:54 PM

yeah you can borrow them if you want.

Jekyl Sep 9, 2006 08:54 PM

just dont blame me if you break something ;)

sidejam Sep 10, 2006 08:50 AM

LOL! I was kinda kidding... but now I'm temtped.

I'll have to think about that one. But either way, thank you, I appreciate the offer. :)
