It was very hot today and I'm still running engine coolant in my IC. I need to switch that to water with an additive. I noticed the charge wasnt as cool as last year at the track. Once I get this launch down I can put up some better numbers.

I'm shooting for 13.5 on street tires. So I have to practice practice practice

you will be in the 13s soon...just relax when you are up there.

you are an addict when it comes to the track guy

haha

It was all trail today. I wrote little notes on each of the slips. I'm really pissed that I lost the 14.1 slip, I wanted to compair it to my 13.9 slip.

Your right I need to relax up there, I'm getting better at it. I have a game plan for when I return. My goal right now is to become consistant @ 14.1 or lower.

I need some NE support when I'm at the line lol

You can see how hot it was. Look at my boost gauge its floating around 11-12 psi. It should be at 14-15 psi.

I'm going to video every run. It's nice to look back and see the guages, and what driving habits I need to change.

nice videos jeff...no worries man u'll be hitting the mid 13's soon enough

it was hot as balls today

bboy

It is really nice to actually watch the run from the gauges and see what really happened. Awesome videos....I wish I wasn't stuck at work today. I'll be there next time.

I really think thats like 50% of drag racing is just being relaxed and fluid, I keep thinking back even to my stock GT runs and I shake my head.....i could've made that thing much quicker had I actually launched it and then not bog down the motor so much. I was so intent on just mashing my foot to the floor out of nervousness once first gear grabbed, I realized I probably lost a good ammount of time by not using any "feel" to where the tires were at, or how much throttle would actually make the car accelerate quickest.

Its also pretty unsettling hearing a motor so big and loud in the next lane over that you can't even hear yourself think....


You'll be well into the 13's this summer Jeff, i'm sure of it. I'll be there next time for support.....heck, I'll even provide some umbrella girls in the pit area to keep you loose and relaxed.

w00t for 6GC cheerleader(s).

good job jeff, cant wait to get out there with you!
the launch looks better @ around 3000 then it does @ 3500..

Looks like fun. Can you hook that mount up to the other side of the headrest so you can see the road and shifting? I would like to see how much wheel spin you are getting on hard runs.

You can't see my guages from the other side. But I can take one for you the next time I'm out.

Wheel spin is really easy. Trying to control wheel spin is hard

>
then borrow someones camera and use 2 camera mounts

nice vids. those are some pretty good numbers, even with the hot weather and rough launches. your car is awesome.

Nice videos ...cannot wait to see you conquer the wheel spin!

Thanks for the support guys.

Dustin, come down so I can use your camera please

I'm going to try and head back for some more practice very soon. Hopefully I can post better results.
