just got home from dragway 42. was quite a good day at first but got kinda frustrating. heres my story...

got there a few minutes before start time. filled out my card and pulled into the lanes. aired my tires down to 20psi, and got back in the car and waited. my first run i lanched kinda low cause i thought for sure i was gonna spin. but i acually bogged launching at 2k. ran a 14.5 @ 98. i was pleased with the trap since i previously went to quaker (uphill) and was traping 94-95. next run was GREAT!!!! the whole run just felt perfect. i hit a 14.2 @ 99.86 with a 2.1 60'. i was pretty stoked to run that on a stock s/c minus intake. after that run i popped the hood and chilled waiting for them to clean up the track. i was a tad low on coolant and seeing as i had time a searched the pits and found someone with water, so i topped it off. from that point i i could not hook for ****. i tried EVERYTHING. tire psi, different launching. it just spun no matter what i did. i was getting so pissed. i was barely breaking into the 14s and pulling 2.5 60'. i was so mad dropping my times that bad. so on my last run i smelled coolant. i was pretty convinced it was one of the fucken riced out hondas there. did my pass with the same results. popped the hood just to let give her a break and give a once over before i left. and i noticed i forgot to put the cap back on the resovior. it was spashing out and leaking on my fucken tire. i kept wondering why the drivers side was spinning so bad since the passanger side usually spun. i couldnt find the damn thing so i stuffed it with a bunch of napkins

so i had an ok day giving i had one good time. just frustrating as all hell though

 

that suxors... but good learning exp..and youll never do it again

 

Damn that sucks man!

Very impressive times for stock though! Good work!

 

hmm 42s 1/4 mile? herd they are 1/8 now. interesting.

 

they run 1/4 for almost everything. a couple of there classes do 1/8 though. but not test and tune
