My season finale

[thebonestockkid]

well, went to cayuga one last time tonight, and on my first run of the night, i pulled my best run so far, and probably ever with my current set up:

R/T ... .578
60' ... 2.234
330 ... 6.192
1/8 ... 9.430
MPH ... 76.09
1000 ... 12.249
1/4 ... 14.648
MPH ... 92.98

as i said that was my best out of 21 runs (would have done more but i was severely low on gas lol). i can only explain it by just getting to the track and running right away, tires still being hot (compared to what they were later on im guessing) my other runs were a few 14.7's, mostly consistent 14.8s, and the occasional screw up where i took it easy right after (ie. misshift, poor launch) all in all im quite happy with my time, considering its a stock DE with barely anything done to the thing. with a lot more practice i think i could pull consistent 14.6s and maybe even the odd 14.5, but since its the end of the season i guess i'll just have to wait and see anyway im ****in tired, goodnight all!!

Thats damn fast for a DE good work man!

[curtklze]

the next time I go to the dyno, you have to bring that freak car, so we can see what it puts out.

[thebonestockkid]

lol for sure curt, just let me know when, where and how much, and i'll be down lates

[2RotorsNaDream]

How the hell are you running 14.6 with an almost stock KLDE?? I have my DE and I'm pretty sure I'd only run lower 15s at best. And I have pretty much everything you got except for the gutted hatch. How do you do it?!?!?! haha

[thebonestockkid]

Illa, I have NO FRICKIN IDEA. i ask myself that everytime i look at the timeslip, lol. speaking of which, this is it

the quality is **** i know, i just took a pic of it really quick with my digi cam and didnt both to clean it up or take another lol. its good enough that you can make out the numbers, just not very clear tho.

He runs those times cause I work on his car

I've said it before, I'll say it again, damn good times Frank. Like Curt said we need to get that thing on the dyno and see what kind of power it's making.

[andy]

those are great times. You probably just got lucky and have a well maintained 2.5L. with a great tune up.

P.S. what were you racing on that time slip, a scooter?

"as i said that was my best out of 21 runs"

how do you do 21 runs? you just show up at the track and say i want to do 21 runs? I dont know if thats a dumb question or not but around here if you work on tuesday nights(street legal night) you cant get into the track to do testing(as far as i know)

[The G2 Racer]

He got in 21 runs last Friday because there was maybe a whole 10 cars at Cayuga...lol.
I'd never seen so few cars at a strip before.

[torpedan]

yeah its fun when that happens but can get tiring quick. if you need practice though its great.

[2RotorsNaDream]

Thats gotta put a strain on the car though...but your having fun doing it.

[torpedan]

Yeah it can burn out your clutch purty quick =]

[Nd4SpdSe]

it as what, 2-3 weeks ago when i went and got 29 runs in...and that was with a 1hour break talking to 1Sickmx6

[torpedan]

Heh nice.. i got 6 runs in last week.. on the 7th i dnfed.. had the uper radtiator hose get ripped off the radiator and put a estimated 1.5 gallons of coolant on the track.

ugh
