I should of gotten there earlier than what I did the entrance line was really long. All the way there and back and I am short 60 miles of short of rolling over 200000 miles. Can't wait to go again sometime. Plus it would be nice to see you guys head up to Byron or Cordova.

Not bad guys.

89BlackTGP, what were your 60ft times and was that 93.52mph your best trap speed?

NTRCOOL: Did the car feel any different at this track? I see that your traps are lower than the ones you've posted from Cordova with similar times. Is that 14.17 your best run so far?

Jon, looks like you got some pretty decent launches out of a vacuum brake car. I'm surprised you didn't trap a tad better and crack 14's.

When you guys get a chance, take a picture or scan your timeslip from your best run and I'll add your times to the 1/4 mile page(if you want them there). http://home.windstream.net/mfewtrail/

EDIT: I see two of you have already posted slips on the other board.

89BlackTGP · April 12, 2010, 07:15:03 AM

Yes my slips are on w-body. You can use them. :) I'm on my phone right now so I'll answer your questions when I get on the real computer.

NTRCOOL · April 12, 2010, 11:47:22 AM

The track seemed to be a different pavement than Cordova but I think the real difference is air temp... Cordova I am there usually at night so I would guess temps around 68* and lower and this past Sunday was 75*+. The other issue I had was the fact that my secondary fan wiring was messed up so I couldn't use it. and It was harder for me to keep my engine temp consistent. Plus I was having a hard time feeling comfortable running all out because my cluster tach feels like its reading higher than before. I have an sunpro giant tach but I have to get around to installing it just like the rockers and buying valve springs too. I'll get pics of the slips up tonight and post my vids on youtube when I get home from work.

Honestly so was I, but thats not to say I wasn't happy! The last time the car was at the track, Jay ran a 15.21
You can tell by the times that I hotlapped a few. My best time of 15.0 was the first run. I was consistently loosing power on the top end, probably because I don't have a tgp trans installed.

Happens to be i have one!! Get it from me this time or you will never get one!

Jonpro03 · April 12, 2010, 07:21:04 PM

If I buy one from you it would be a 284 setup.

You put down some good times with high mileage. :) nothing against high mileage but you would think high mileage motors wouldn't run that strong.

Definitely some awesome times! Those drag slicks are the sh!t.

It was interesting to see how a topgun chip stacked up to a flybynight.
