My 89 Just made it back from Midnight Mayhem at Cordova!

This is how I did it:
1. Pull into the water in the burn out pit
2. Apply parkng brake
3. Put transmission into 2nd gear
4. Punch it to get tires spinning
5. Saw steering wheel left and right to make sure both tires are spinning
6. Release parking brake and let off gas so you dont shoot forward too much.

Make sure you dont bounce off of the rev limiter.  Nittos work better when they are hot, if you do a "google" search some people look for the color of smoke coming off the tires.

I have PVC piping already cut down the middle.... if you know how big you want the stoppers, let me know ill cut em for you , you'll just have to get clamps.   Couldnt be more than a couple bucks to get them to you.  I can evem measure the last pair i used to help you get an idea what length is best.

Oh the sawing part I have never done before but my parking break is long been out of service but would like to get on line again soon. as far as stoppers I only have one more Event on the !5th of oct.

I have awesome news for the final 2010 Midnight Mayhem. I made 10 runs all night averaged 14.04 then I just got lucky with the run that mattered most to me check out the pick I hope you can see it.

Congrats 13.999 is still 13's.  Too many people on this forum make claims with no proof of their accomplishments. 

[NTRCOOL]

I wish I had my video camera charged up and someone to operate it. Making ten runs and only losing 3 races I was pretty happy. Now I can't wait to actually doing some real modifications instead of just weight reduction.

Awsome news INTRCOOl.... Congrats !!  from the numbers on that slip id say that launch/ run was perfect!!!

[mfewtrail]

Updated the 1/4 mile page to reflect your new time. You should get a better tune now and see how far you can take it on that alone. ;)

[NTRCOOL]

To be honest the launches were very hard on the car, The Nittos must not like the lower temps of fall. I wanna say it was in the mid to high 50s This past Friday night. I need new subframe bushings I know I have replaced one or to before but I might just buy all new and save the good ones for spares. I dropped air pressure down to 17psi and the car's front end would stand up then the right tire would break loose then the left then it would hook but I still tore up people that were not expecting that kind of power out of a 60* V-6. Once I get the budget worked out for next year I can start to plan out and attack it all over again I hope. Thanks for the support guys.

Congrats Matt!!!  You were looking good out there!

[jarrade]

Sure thing guys Midnight Mayhem is over for the season but as soon as they post 2011 schedule. There are a bunch of funday/funnights on the weekends till the end of November if you guys want to Meet up before the snow flies.

[jarrade]

I'm in rock island, Il so I'm only bout a 1/2 hour away. Let me know when you guys get your cars done and ready for the new season. My car is supposed to be going into the garage for the winter and getting the top end torn off and redone. I've got a new crossover ready for it and I'm looking for a bigger turbo.
