We need to get more balts at the track on drag night as I was the only one & man my times sucked as this was my first time ever to drag legally on a track you think your good till you race someone who has done it alot

E/T 9.939
SPD 71.23
RT 1.179
60' 2.523

Now to get exhaust, better motor mount & learn how to launch & I'll do a bit better

Check out the drag dates at www.Iowaspeedway.com and I'll try to post here when they are having them to

 

When do they have Drag nights? I'd be very interested in going.

 

i went to cordova ia last night for midnight mayham. there were prolly 10 cobalts up there. it was a good time. two vehicles spilled fluids and oil all down the track. RIGHT BEFORE I USED NITROUS! I had never used nitrous before! lol. my first run without nitrous was almost a full second faster than my next two w/ my spray. I spun through the first 3 gears because of the oil on the first part of the track. BUT! my mph were still faster with n20. I am so pumped to see what my times will be next time. I will be over 110 1/4 mile easy if i can get out of the box better. Pm me with info on where this track is ane when the races are!

If you race you must have pants not shorts. the tunel opens at 5pm & the races start at 6:30 after you tech your car & sign a waver.

$10 to spectate $20 for car & driver and your spectater can ride but they have to sign a waver at tech & get a wrist band to ride.

I hope to see more balts there

 

So taht was you! I wondered if you were on here. I was the black balt that was parked in front of you in the staging lanes asking about you nitrous and such. Everyone of the SS/SCs were slow on Friday.....it was kind of sad. Hopefully next time will be better.

 

yep thats me. lol. I know you said that you didint want to lower the car, are you planing on making any other mods tho?

 

Is there a website or anything that has the details?

 

Yea I posted it in my firsat post

 

Actually, I may end up lowering it at some point. Probably strut bar, exhaust, tint, eyelids and painted taillights are really the only things I have in mind right now. I'm more show and my husband is more go.

 

Lol, my bad. thanks.

 

What kinda cars did ya run against?? How many runs did ya get??

 

I ran a 475 HP Camaro & a stock late nintys Camaro, I only ran twice as I had to be at work at 4am Saturday morning & it was going to be 930 or 10 before I got home.

I figured out I just over powered first both times so next time I'll race for traction in first & then nail it from there Plus my reaction time sucked as I waited for the green light & then took off & now I learned next time I will wait for the last yellow & then take off as that will help to lower my reaction time

I'm running a 2.85 SC pulley & I think I will make a couple more passes & then put the 3' back On & run a couple passes & see it that helps first or dropps the over all time at all.

The first race I could not even hear my SC as that 475 Camaro had headers on it & it was loud!

What sould a good 1/8 be on our cars ???

 

Couplea Camaro's, nice.

As for times I found this

Look like your in his top ten in SS/SC Modded

Newton is about 100 miles from Cedar don't know if I can make the entry deadline.

 

well another great night of drag racing last night, I ran another Cobalt 2 times & smooked him but it was fun as I raced a sc Grand prix & I should of had him but I missed second & that short heartbeat was his win

I ran several cars, lost a couple & won 5 it was a blast as I'm learning to launch alot better my best 60' was 2.37, best speed was 76.50 in the 1/8.

we need more Balts there to represent this site guys so come on out & play!!!!

 

well this friday night is drag night so any other members going to attend the Newton track ?

 

I'm still waitin on my stage 2 that I ordered from Bob Brown a month ago. After I get that installed I may take it to the track though.
