So im real excited for saturday and import show down in reynolds. Last time I went to the track I was not readu. Now I am installed my upgraded napa axles and put on some mt street et 2s.

 

Good luck man! My buddy and i are hitting the track this weekend too

 

11's or bust!

 

Cobalt vs srt4 quarter mile pass - YouTube
Here is my best pass of the day. 12.06 @ 119mph

I did not make many passes being that I didnt want to keep pushing my luck. I drove 3 hrs with my daughter and fiance, and Im already pushing the limits on my car. My highest trap pass was 12.7 @ 128mph. I know with more practice on my launches I can easly get into the 11's. BTW came in third in the FWD class.

 

nice job man! thats a crazy high trap speed on that 12.7 run lol

 

LOSER!!! lol good job man get into those 11s!

 

what power you at in this run?

 

Your engine is what's called " a miracle" haha

 

We have such similar setups, nice to know what kind of numbers I can expect

 

When are you gonna take that thing to the track? I learned ALOT on this trip. I had alot of people giving me advice and learned alot about tire pressure. I ended up having my tires at 19psi on that last run. I checked them as soon as the run was over and they were at 24psi. Also that was the only time I used two step and it makes a huge difference on the launch, also makes it alot easier lol.

 

LOL yea that was fun. That was the only run that I used the NLS.

 

When I have extra in the bank. Lol about to finish these school loans off and then I can go crazy with it. Closest 1/4 mile is an hour and a half away

 

How far is the gainsville track from you? I think we are going to try to go there in the spring next year.

 

Lucky lol my closest track thats worth a damn is 3.5 hours away lol

 

Like 6.5 hours

 

o damn, lol. thats along drive to track your car.

 

And a long drive back after a night of racing.

 

how do you know if a track sucks?

theres one real close to me but idk if its good or not

 

lol, I went to get my time slip to post in the 1/4 mile section and I found every time slip but the 12.06 pass..... O well

 

If its in good condition and if they prep good.

 

that^ lol

I wouldn't say that this is a bad track..but Bandimere is far more superior lol

 

Edinburg Raceway-- IHRA 1/4 mile drag strip serving the Rio Grande Valley!


bad track?

 

Good stuff man! We trapped the same....on your 12.06 run lol. That 128 is moving though. The car definitely makes some power. What were your 60' times?

 

Id say that is a pretty good track. Looks like its kept up pretty well.

 

Lol I was excited about that 128mph trap. NLS will make a huge difference when you dont have to spool after every shift. My 60's were 2.3's and the 12.06 time was a 2.1 60 ft. Im thinking on the mickey thompsons a 1.9 is possible If I had some more time to work on my launches. I dont get to go to the track much, I maybe make an avg of 5 pass a year if I'm lucky lol. I wish I lived closer to a track.
