Auto at the track

[god910]

Well, I took the auto to the track today, my first run I beat a new Cad. Catera which ran a 16.332 @ 84.84:
R/T 1.153  :shock:
60' 2.303  (Not bad for spinning all through first)
1/8 10.069
MPH 70.94
1K 13.083
1/4 15.717 @ 82.93
I was fighting the mis-fire like I thought I would be.  I was so damn pumped to be there I didn't care about the light OR my launch RPM, I just went.  

Run 2 was a Black Honda Civic, wing, exhaust, ext. mods looked FAST, ran a 17.062 @ 82.57  :lol:
R/T .796 Now that's better (but still HOrrid)  :cry:
1/4= 15.841 @ 85.29  
I got good traction this time and launched about 2K every run.  FUCKING MISFIRE!!!!

Run 3 was a Black Z28 (91 or so) beat him w/ a 15.757 @ 84.88 vs. his 16.072 @ 89  Guess what??? Misfire.  

Run 4 was a red GTA that couldn't even keep it running in the stageing lanes.  I beat him w/ a 16.129 @ 87.75  :o  Well, Hello MPH.  I was in the right lane on this one, and got hella pissed w/ the misfire this time, I lifted COMPLETELY TWICE!!!  Then dropped the hammer, it was missing pretty bad during this run.  He ran a 17.825 @ 76

Everyone else continued to get a 5th trial in, but I decided to wait until elims. to let her cool down.  (Thought temps might be playing a role w/ the misfire.  1st round of elims. I got beat by this shitty ass beater like 72 Chevy truck w/ a wood bed.  (This was handicap, that's why I lost.)  I dialed in @ 15.60 becuase ambient temp dropped about 15 degress and the car had been sitting for over an hour.  I thought it would be no problem hitting that.  I got the damn right lane (SHIT)  
R/T .860
60' 2.278
1/8 10.046
1/4 15.713 @ 85.58

One thing I didn't think about was the lower temps. helped build boost better, the misfires were the worst all night, but I still pulled off my fastest time, but since I change my dial in from the 15.70 that I had already written in, I lost.  He ran a 16.3 @ 81.1  beat me by .0945 twas a close one.  I went in realistically expecting a 15.5 or .6 so, I'm not dissapointed, I had WAY TOO MUCH FUN!!!  Even though I was alone, I saw a guy I bowl w/ and hung out w/ him.  It was so awesome, now the jitters are over and I can practice after I get the bugs worked out.  Matt, I'll be sending you some slips soon.
