    Ok. You guys had a dyno day. You got the numbers. How about some dragstrip times? I am thinking about going. I just changed my oil today. :keke:

    I'm probably not going to run though, because it probably won't go much faster without having to abuse the tranny and I don't want that. :pssh:

    Anyone want to go?

    we're gonna grab a quick bite to eat and head on up to the strip from there

    I would like to go, how much is it to run? I have never been to a dragway, not even to spectate. Do you pay per run or is it a set number of runs..?

    well ive been practicing and ive been releasing around 3900-4k rpms and been getting nice speed fast. Others will say rev to 6k and dump it. i personally dont believe in that haha.

    I want to go run my 4th gear suxors but o well. Its between this and doom and how tired ia m from partying thurs night.

    Rev to 5k and then slip the clutch and floor the throttle at the same time.

    I plan on being at the gates when they open. 6p.m. Traction improves as the night go on usually.

    I just got the green light form the wife, so I'll be there.

    The question is does my clutch have a few more runs in it? I guess we'll find out.
     
  29. bigb996

    bigb996 teh Wannabe Mod

    haha yea my clutch is slowly leaving me as well but hey got almost 90k miles outta her so good enough for me why not keep running it in the ground.

    o btw guys a few reminders Wear pants not shorts, and tennis shoes or boots or something. No open toe shoes. They will not let you race if you dont follow these guidlines. i think it has to do with fire protection and what not.
