Will the track be prepped?

If so, it might be an opportunity for me to test and tune on the 300 shot before the AZ Fastest Street Car race on the 15th. :woot2:

From what I understand things have been sticky on Friday. They have new concrete on the launch pad also.

yes i was there when the camaro ran 6.9 @ 208 lol. what a shock on a friday night.

it looks like it might ran this friday, so the 14th is sounding good.

BurnTire
11-26-07, 08:56 PM
I have most of my parts on the way. I have to get Devin to make my tail pipes work.
Get the anti roll bar install. Install the coil overs. Do the fuel line upgrade. Mount my slicks, Make my skinnies fit.

Boy I have a bunch of work.

K member will come later. I want to see how the car runs with the stock K and coilovers.

fazm
11-26-07, 09:02 PM
later in the year, or after new years?

BurnTire
11-26-07, 09:03 PM
Probably a few weeks after the 14th I will get it in.

I might make it out if the car is ready for racing by then. Well I should say if the check book allows the car to be ready by then. :biglaugh:

I might be able to make it out that weekend.

The last few times I went to Firebird it seemed to hook pretty good, atleast for my slow :moon:.

I was hoping to head out this Friday, but it looks like it is going to rain so I doubt that will end up happening. So I've got a feeling that the 14th might end up being my next outing. Then again, if it doesn't rain this Friday, I may just do both the 30th and 14th:pepper:

How is the project coming?


Not bad. The housing and tubes are getting welded and pouder coated now. All parts are in, once I get it back its go time. I just need a day or two to break it in and Im good. I dont have slicks yet so the Nitto DR's will have to do. I can't wait, the car has been down for 7 weeks now and I'm feening for it now. :EvilGrin: Im sure you know what I mean......:yes:

BurnTire
12-02-07, 12:25 AM
Thats cool that things are getting close to done.

Well I changed around some plans so I will be able to make it out on the 14th. I have never been to Firebird before but i imagine that they have signage that let's me know what entrance to use, tech area, pits, etc. Then I will just look for all the Mustangs..

I will not forget to bring a camera because if Tony breaks out into a "crazy happy dance" It has to be captured on film...:biglaugh:

See you all there..

When I got there, I didn't get to say 'Hi' to Jeff. I noticed that he was having a problem, so I left him alone. He did run well, later on. I guess he fixed whatever the problem was. I'm sure he'll fill you guys in on it all. And, no I didn't run. 33 degree track surface, coupled with my knowledge of how a 4300+lb L runs on a similar surface, I said "Nope, not gonna do it." Had the track been a little better (I was watching the 60fts of the street cars from the tower), I might have made some runs. Call it coping out, if you like. I call it smart. Still it was a good time. Damn cold, though.

Yes Jeff was a little ticked off with the stud problem. But we had super mechanic Dan there for tech support and got the wheels on.

I have a new best

Congrats on the new best there Jeff. I only ran once, there were a bunch of cars and it was cold. Something is up with the car, sounded like I almost ripped the rear out of it. It looks fine and drove home fine. On my run I couldn't grip with the shittos and it got a little squirrely about mid track. Maybe next time......on slicks

I heard that they had ground off the bumps that were on the track, so there was some rubber missing from the track.

Everyone seemed to be having trouble with traction. That's why I felt it better to not push my luck. I've had the L out there, on a cold track, I was having to steer the truck to keep it in the groove. And, that thing has more power and ET Streets. I can only imagine the lack of control I'd have with my car. Next time.

Wickedcobra, I think that was you I passed, while you were trying to get in the line behind that Porsche. That was just after the offramp. Looks and sounds good.

I have no idea what you are talking about when it comesto Firebird the trace was great and the surface was even better. the cold air added to the power level on a lot of cars. the 60" were findand the trace was drug quite a few times threw out the night as a matter afact it was one of the nicest track preps of the year for that track. the carsthat were set up properly stuck like they should while the half ass wounders just spun. Congrats on the new best Tony also to jeff Good run and dont forget the set up for next time you go out

I wasn't talking about the 'set-up' cars.

Congratulations, Tony, on meeting the rollbar requirement.

thanks guys. it felt awesome. i made four runs and three were below 11.5. the third run of the day would have too if it wasn't for me straighting the car out after getting a bad tire shake and forgetting to shift and taggin the limiter. still ran 11.67@116 on that pass though. the other three were 11.49@121, and 11.41@122. so i was having a good day. i certainly have to thank Dan and shane for all thier help this weekend! oh and how could i forget to thank jen, for all her help and the kick ass pics that we will hopefully see sometime in the near future! ::woot1:

i dont own a GM. half lsd :)

i only pulled out about 4 pieces of metal. some spider gear chunks and a piece of the ring gear it looks like.

im still getting the "chunking" noise when the wheels spin though, so i think theres some more spider gear pieces in the lsd lol
