Good luck out there today guys and above all just have fun!

 

Hey I went 12.4@116 on my very 1st run and then went 12.2@117 on my 3rd

 

You know what's even more interesting..... you pulled almost identical times on your first and second runs in my car You ran 12.4 @ 117.2 first, then ran 12.3 @ 117.8 right after with no cool-down

 

Updates? Whats the new record?

 

 

BOOYA! what did i say? I said i would get 12.7.... AND WHAT HAPPENED?

I GOT 12.7!!!! twice!

the very first time i ran, i got a 13.1xx but, i had ESP on and shifted in S

second time i ran i got a 12.765

the best time i ran was 12.730 @ 115... pic included.

remember i was on Street tires that were worn pretty bad.

 

Updates???

 

Nice, 12.73 @ 115 is good first time in a stock 63.

funny my very first time at that track was also a 12.73 which at the time felt great since I had been running at LACR and hitting mid to low 13's. Now you need to capture Mo's West Coast record .

 

Well as far as my car goes I didn't make any new records. I'm not sure if the track was cold or what but Sacramento was back to its old self. No traction unless you had full on slicks. Long story short my best run was 11.8@120.7 with a 1.78 60'. my worst 60' was 2.2 and that should give you an example of the traction or the lack there of.

on the other hand it was great meeting Nick, Scott and Infantry (sorry I was in deep thought and I forgot your name)

 

lol, its abraham!

i had a blast honestly. I can't wait for some nice hot summer nights.

man, im so glad i had proof of what i wanted and got it! lol i wanted 12.7 and i got it!

man, if i get new tires, or at least some decent ones, i know i can break 12.5, i might even get some DR set ups and try for low 12's!

 

Did TheRicker show up in his SL600?

 

negative

 

damnit i had extra cash! you shoulda told me! i would've taken them off your hands man! for some reason i just read this post!

 

Well, like Hammer said it was a tough night and traction wasn't very good. I ran my car 5 times and the best 60' I was able to achieve was a 1.65. I think that time came against Sneakyneon when we lined up. I ended up hitting a 10.85 @ 133.9 with a 1.65 or so (my best run of the night). Sneaky didn't grab traction on this run but both of our reaction times were very good. I hit a .002 to his -.002, as close as they come for a heads up race.

Thanks again for showing up Nick it was great to finally meet ya. I really appreciate all the help you gave through out our tiring journey, boy was it a busy 3 days. Get that track day setup in July and the family and I will come on uo to see how the PNW boys do it. Once again great job and your car is truly a beast. It's just a matter of time before you start walking me, hell your almost there already.

My tech also showed up in his E55 and ran some very stellar times. I love the simplicity of his car...trailered it to the track (he hates putting miles on his car), drive it off, rolls up, burns out, stages, and hits mostly mid 11.4's with a best of 11.3 and great RT's. His first RT run was a .003 only to be topped by his following run .001...WTF. Great job Scott and thanks for helping everyone out. Your efforts were appreciated by everyone!

This was a blast and even though Sac didn't shine I still had a blast hanging out with all the boys. Everyone did well given the track prep we had, awesome job. Andrew, it's always a pleasure and your help is always appreciated buddy. We would probably still be there cleaning up if it wasn't for your help.... We'll be back soon and I expect you to run your car next time .

abraham, great job bro! You did a fantastic job given the conditions you had to work with. If you end up getting DR's you'll run much better times than a 12.5 I promise.

 

Hey guys, Hope everyone made it home ok. Yesterday was fun! Nick your car is freaking awsome! Abraham i'm glad you were able to make it up! Your runs were pretty good looked like those tires were holding you back. Scott, it was great meeting you. It was nice see the regulars again. Alan, you got, next time you guy come up i'll try to run with you guy, Just slow down for me. I don't think i can take losing by 3 seconds from you.

 

I'll start another thread You have 6 more days to wait

 

Fantastic times Abraham, congrats those times are awesome for Sacramento especially on (bald) street tires I wish I was there to have some fun with you guys.... I was with Alan and Nick on Thursday, but could not get the day off on Friday....

By the way, with new street tires (even continentals), you can hit 12.3 to 12.4

 

Unreal time , prolly a record run with a usual 60 ft time for ya.

I love how you and Jack seem dissapointed.......Oh just another 10.85 lol, "oh I only managed 11.8" lol You guys are masterful drivers even on sub par prep days.

How was temp?

Id love to see timeslip of the .002 r/t .

Did yall run for cash during the bracket?

There is a Fontana event 3/29-3/30 for the So Cal folks or those down visiting

 

Here's that timeslip Josh. This would have been a great run if Nick hooked and didn't roast his tires. We both wanted to out tree each other so badly it almost hurt. This is as close as they come at the tree.

 

That is an amazing tree.

Were you looking at him, lol

 

Still a great run Alan. Before to long you'll get it with ideal conditions and hurt some feelings. Glad to see everyone made it back safe!

 

Sorry no records were broken, better weather and track conditions and it would have been a done deal! Either way, sounds like you guys had a blast. Plus, both your's and Jack's times are still incredible!! ...and I'd take your trap any day of the week!!

 

LOL...actually I closed my eyes and just prayed that I would win. I actually did pretty well at the tree when I tried and did really well win it counted. Nick and Scott (my tech) cut some amazing lights and they are both much better drivers than myself. Great job guys!

Thanks Luke! I'm pretty much done with modding now and I'm just going to concentrated on getting my car 120% dialed in with what I have, just like I did last time. Things are just becoming to costly for minimal gains these days.

I'm predicting I'll run some pretty good times once everything is dialed in but the only record I'm worried about breaking is my own. I came to realize it's very hard to improve from here and getting down to the low 11.5's would take an amazing 60' time and a stock converter won't get it done.

Thanks Charlie! I can't wait to see what your beast will do. Any plans on making any passes soon?

 

Alan, you are just un friggin real.

I just couldn't stop chuckling at your post.

"Yeahhhhh, rough day you guys. Not much traction today and just an off day overall. I eekd out a meager 10.8"

10.8!!!

You are just the man!!

 

This is the truth right here!!
