    Damn did not see you guys at all! I guess you were in the stands. I was at the pit area watching. I was suppose to buy the turbo and injectors. Oh well. My friend w/ the 275awhp(dynojet-topspeed)WRX ran 12.9@105. I saw liquidforce run 12.7 I think. I saw the 500+hp sti run low 12s with an 118 trap. I should have raced too. Tonight was a cool night!

    I have to say that track is not my favorite. I got there at about 6:30 and left at 10:30 after managing to get 4 runs in. It wasn't that there were a lot of cars its that so many dropped parts or fluids all over the track.

    I managed to close the night with a 12.6 @ 111.

    Joel is his name.
    Well I ran a 12.8,12.9,13.0,etc... With similar numbers! We have similar mods, except he has suspension work done... He made 1 more hp and 1 more torque than me.

    Last night was a bad night. I usually get over 5-6 runs easy! Cars kept breaking down last night. :pssh:

    lol I embarrassed myself thoroughly I mustered up a 14.77 and a 3.3 60 foot my first time ever dragging the Sti. I spun al 4 wheels bad and when it grabbed the rpms dropped. Which just happened to be the time I shifted lol. I then hit turbo lag.

    Doug got in it to redeem me. He ran a 12.2 but had to let off in 4th cause the car all the sudden over heated. It's def got 11's in it since he didnt even shift to 5th or run out 4th all the way. I may have a head gasket problem under high boost. Water is going somewhere but I don't know where. It's not visbily leaking but it is eating water.

    *cliff notes* I suck at driving and need more practice

    The evo ran good till it broke the 1000 hp axle it has lol.

    Where did you guys go after the strip? I saw you guys leaving as I was coming back from my last run. I turned around and tried to catch up but you were gone.

    Mike we just went home. The car didn't over heat on the way home, but obiously something is up with it. Hope it isn't the head gasket that would suck lol. But I can't think of anything else it could be.

    Were you running the meth injection? That is what I was trapping there last year.
     
  22. Kokopelli

    Kokopelli Active Member

    Yep. That was with the meth and some c16. I was kind of dissapointed with my times. My traps were down about 3 mph while 60's were the same (1.7 -1.8). At SilverDollar I was picking up 28 mph after the 1/8. At Commerce I was only picking up 23.

    Did you have the ra gearset when you trapped 111? If so did you top out 4th as you finished?

    It was cool seeing all the runs, even though there were a few issues. I'm gonna go back out there in a couple of weeks, to see if I can beat my times from Silver Dollar! Some people were saying that they were getting better times at Commerce and vice versa, so I will have to see for myself, plus it will be a bit cooler!
