Calling all C32/C55's in So Cal area

AutoclubRaceway in Fontana, Tomorrow, Sunday, Nov 2, 7am-5pm, $20 all day. This is a quarter-mile drag. I will be there at 1pm. Ask to be in Group 4 if you arrive late. You can still get your maximum 6 runs if you arrive after 1pm since the crowd lightens up after lunch. This is the last street legal race of the year in So. Cal but Dec 6 is definitely the last day of 2008 before it starts up again in Feb 2009. Track times my be slower than usual since track is at 2000 sea elevation.

You can line up against each other, BMWs, Vettes, Audi's, Porsche's, etc... I was there today and got six runs in. Lined up against a Vette, Chevelle, Mustang, 350Z, GTO. Lost to the modified Vette who did 11.7.

Let's see if we can beat the C63's?

Bring a helmet if you run under 13.0 ET quarters

Time with 2 missing cylinders and 88 degree heat

I guess my time is close to C32s at 12.45 at 116mph 1/4 and 8.18 at 93mph 1/8. Discovered a huge vacuum leak when I got home. Coming back tomorrow with 100 octane gas and repaired vacuum lines. Nothing I can do about the damaged cylinders. Wish I had some Monolites and Drag Radials. Can't launch the car properly and did not time the green light correctly. Always way late on reaction time. which was averaging 1.1 compared to oponents which averaged .2. First time at a drag strip for me. Been to Willow Springs rink.

What a BLAST!
