what were the drag results?

[92spiritrt]

title says it all

[1FastCSX289]

Brian Slowe won the quick 16. Tim Costello beat me out in the heads up finals b/c I am retarded and left the N2O on with the bottle off.....ran waaaay rich and bogged to a stall off the start. :banghead: And Pat Culkin won the bracket race in his "scaries".......which was an AWESOME car. :hail:

[Directconnection]

Some sort of secret coalition of SDAC'rs? C'mon guys..... speak up!

[Pat]

Here are my results..the ScAries was the #8 qualifier for the quick 16, made it through round one against Steve Menegon in his mid 13 second, 224k mile '05 ACR SRT4.

Round 2 I was against JT, who I almost reeled in when he bogged after spinning, but lost 12.25 to 12.0. That was a fun race..he took the lead early, then in 3rd I was gaining on him hard but just as I got to his rear bumper at about the 1000 foot mark, his Daytona cleaned up and he drove away.

I then jumped into the bracket race and went through all rounds without a loss. Won in the finals when Joe lit the red bulb in his Challenger.

I think in the end, I went about 20 passes and the ScAries never missed a beat. It went 13.0 on 18 psi, no spray. I then played with jets, timing and fuel and in the end, made three consecutive 12.2 runs with the best being 12.24 @ almost 115 mph on a 75 shot.

Track prep was fairly lousy and we were all spinning quite a bit so times for everyone were a bit lower that I saw. But man, was it fun anyway. Can't wait for next year.

[92spiritrt]

Thanks. I really wish I would have been able to stay for it. Hopefully next year. Congrats guys.

[turbovanman²]

Sounds like some good times.

Great job with the Scaries Pat, :partywoot:

what track prep???? MB and i walked the track before hand just to find out we would have been better off out on 40.....we paved that track tho, cause by the end of the night it was actually starting to work....

i qualified #13 in the 16, then lost went into the bracket, went 4 rounds w/ a DI of 12.99....#1 run was a 13.19, but cause of my .200 light, i didnt get the win light, came back fro double elim, and won the next round... 13.07 to a same 12.99....the next run out we believe i took out a ring land, cause she would do better than a 13.4x and 4th run was a 13.55...... i now have the Subaru mode complete....

[ohiorob]

I made 7 passes all in the 10's. my best was a 10.45 @ 139.29 mph.

me and Brian made it to the finals. my 10.49 was no match to his 9 second run. it was a very exciting run for me but not as exiting as when me and JT lined up for the semi finals.

to bad i was sick as a dog and could not enjoy the day like i would have like too:(

their idea of track prep was to take the pile of stones on the starting line and fling it evenly across the track.

fantastic results Rob. that's my favorite turbo mopar.

Nice! With only a few posting results I was afraid to ask what happened to everyone else.

[mcsvt]

A bunch of people are still there, the awards are tonight.

My new to me Hemi Magnum went a best of 14.4 at 96, which I'm plenty happy with. Can't wait to actually bring and race a T-M though.

[contraption22]

I, like most, was having traction issues all day. on most runs, it felt like it was spinning until somewhere into 2nd gear.

I also had some tuning issues, which brought me way down on power. Once i got the A/F ratio back in the 11.3:1 range she was running low 11's but no better. As Rob had said, the track was icy. It wasn't a day for setting records, but we were all dealing with the same track, so the racing was still good.

I qualified 5th for the quick 16. That paired me up next to Warren Hall's CSX for the first round. I won and moved on to face Brian Slowe in round 2. That's all she wrote.

Anyone want to buy a Shadow with a crap load of parts?
Nice job Pat.

Yeah, if I were PatC I'd sell that crappy old Shadow too and just play with ScAries. Crowd Pleaser FTW:thumb:

The Shadow isn't going anywhere...way too much effort in that car, but I am glad to hear the ScAries was a crowd pleaser!

Wait till it has it's shiny new pentastar on the grill. The crowd's won't be able to control themselves when they see the gleam off the front of the car through the tire smoke! :p Thanks again Alan!

[Nemesismachine]

Maybe next year the local track announcer will know what kinds of cars are there. Instead of, "Here comes that truck again. Hey what were those called?"

Bill you posted a comment but no info on how your T3 Rampage did? come on bud.

Hoagie let me take his charger out
told me to hit the score board with the pistons or run 11's
went 11.995 on an 11.99 dial in :thumb:

I was wondering why sometimes he knew exactly what car it was and sometimes he called a Shelby Charger a "Colt":D The Non-Lee announcer line at one point. "I uh, think that's a truck of some kind (Baker's Rampage), I'm not too good with Chrysler's":( It was kinda fun mocking him while we weren't racing:lol: Look at dat little tuuurbo car go.:p

[ATaylorRacing]

Sounds like the bracket race would have been perfect for the non-spinning 17 second Matchbox! I was racing and making money on the weekend.
:D:nod::lol:
No baby sitter was available for the days I would have been gone...hopefully next year will be within 250 miles so I can commute!:p

[30 PSI SHADOW]

Ran 2 fairly decent runs till i had problems. Best run was a 11.92@120. Im in the 120 club!!!
The 3rd run i finally got traction and banged 2nd and BOOM! Thought i busted the trans but it was the pass axle. Alan came to rescue me and pulled his belt off his waist. Wrapped it around the axle and passed it up to me. No place to buckle it in a hurry, i buckled it to the timing belt,and got the hell off the track.Back in the pits,Alan went to find an axle,as i started to disassemble.Wanting to get it off hot pavement and cool off the smoldering car, i went to idle the motor.S&*^! the buckle! durrr....belt got stuck under cam pulley.Alan was pissed! LOL!
got a new axle from pashner,THANKS! back on track for last qualifyer for quick 16.Car had no bottom end after that. 12.75@103. 1st round against crazy mark who was a whole second slower than me. Lost again in first round with a 13.50@101mph. Ruptured the line to blowoff valve.Also found it skipped a tooth on the intake cam. All done.It was late and i was tired.

Spent wednesday morning getting it fixed. Funny part was, i laughed about the axle,but a vacumm line enraged me. go figure, LOL .
I wasnt impressed with the track conditions,but apparently They were very friendly and accepting.
Good racing though!

[Reeves]

I was in the high 10's low 11's. Traction limited after about the 100 ft. mark or so.

Slowe was just a *tad* too much for me in the semi finals. LOL. :thumb:

I liked him. Yeah, he didn't know much about our cars, but really, who does besides us? At least he was enthusiastic and funny when he got stuff wrong. LOL.

I remember one of the first comments that I LOL'd at was something like "Well, look at that, that little car is front wheel drive!" :yuck:

You could definately tell when Lee was announcing.....it went from zero knowledge to 100% knowledge in .5 second. Which was even better! Good job Lee!

[Marcus86GLHS]

impressive numbers guys. congrats to Bill on the new personal best mph and i hope you didnt get any dirt in the rampage's engine bay. :-)

[30 PSI SHADOW]

dont worry mark,it cleans up....:thumb:

[Keito]

Could you guys feel the drop off the concrete?
Crazy Marks car with no suspension would bounce off and you could
hear him spin the tires.
Same with Brian's Shadow, bounced and spun the tires.

[Turbo3Iroc]

So you didn't drive your Jeep (let alone your GLHS) because you would get it dirty but Bill dollies out his MINT car and runs it on the auto x and drags and you think hes worried about it not cleaning up?? Come on man.

dude i tripped over it walking the 1320 before hand

[168glhs1986]

14 passes with a best of 14.17. Best speed was 101.7.

This car's original engine/turbo will be retired to the garage and it's now time to start the build. 11's in 2011 for sure.

[1FastCSX289]

I did a best of 14.1 X 100 mph in my Charger at SDAC at 15 PSI. I cranked it to 18 PSI for the finals and screwed up the run so I went back out to my local strip tonight to burn off the race fuel. I just returned home......13.55 @ 103 :partywoot:....on a hot lap. No too bad for a 1500 dollar turd.

[BadAssPerformance]

...Round 2 I was against JT, who I almost reeled in when he bogged after spinning, but lost 12.25 to 12.0. That was a fun race..he took the lead early, then in 3rd I was gaining on him hard but just as I got to his rear bumper at about the 1000 foot mark, his Daytona cleaned up and he drove away.

OMG that was a fun race! I got out of the groove in 2nd (read: ice skating) and brought it back in in 3rd but bogged cuz the car slowed down too much. I just floored it and drove thru the bog instead of trying to clutch it and didnt see Pat in my left mirror so turned my head and saw him coming like a freight train as the boost hit like afterburner and I pulled away! You can clearly see my mid-track issues here:

Yeah, I ice skated down the whole track for the first couple passes, but started to hook a little when there was some fresh rubber down. Def can wait till next year! Heck.. cant wait till the next trip out to any track! :)


...but not as exiting as when me and JT lined up for the semi finals.

That was a blast! Good old fashioned drag race right there! :nod:

I think I dented the floor below the go pedal trying to get you on that run! LOL! :p

You had some wiggle room anyway since you tree'd the crap out of me. I apparently suck on a pro tree.

Sounds like we are back at Indy....There are WAY more 12.0 cars in the Sportsman class than anything else, and dang it, they are getting tough to beat!
:eyebrows::nod::clap2::wave1::partywoot::faint:

[turbo2point2]

Wow, I haven't had to do that much driving in a long time;) To say the track was slippery was an understatement. Despite the traction issues, I had a great time! It was the first time back on a track since the crank broke back in April. The week leading up to the drag event was like Groundhog day, waking up each morning thinking if every bolt had been torqued properly, and hoping everything was fine.

First pass down the track was an easy pass on minimum boost(11 psi). The Shadow went 10.841 @ 123.87. 2nd pass I tested the track to see what she would hold. Dialed in 22psi and ramped it in slow. Had to pedal some to keep her hooked-9.773 @ 144.75. Qualifying Rd. 1 - I felt that I could add some boost up top to give me a late hit. Threw another 3 psi to it...not good. Data showed me pedaling 6 times. The tires were hating life even well past half track, lol. Qualified #1 10.004 @ 149.60

Rd. 1- I was paired up with DJ and his awesome P-body. He was giving me some hard looks in the lanes, I think he even made gave me the thumbs down gesture, lol. DJ and I were pretty even on the tree, but the BSX had a bit too much for DJ's Shadow. 9.608 @ 146.05--12.377 @ 119.40 It was a pleasure to race a guy that drove 2200+ miles, raced every event, and drove home. A++ job DJ!!

Rd. 2- Paired me against my great friend Mike Marra and his "Contraption". 1st class race all the way. I had Mike on the tree and the car did the rest. 9.699 @ 149.81--11.152 @ 124.44. Mike was running some of his best mph's to date that day. Mike, let's get that car back to Cecil and see what she'll do!

Rd. 3- Me vs. James Reeves. James had been battling with the speed limiter coming on that day. Again another 1st class race/racer. James got me by a good bit on the tree. I was able to get by him and take the win 9.605 @ 147.37--11.004 @ 127.99. Traction was at a premium this day, James' car is a deep 10's regular. With the latest addition of bars and safety equipment, there is no signs of this car slowing down. Keep up the good work James!

Finals- #1 vs. #2 qualifiers. I knew this round was going to be a good one. Rob Pachner had been at an event recently and got some more good e.t's under his belt. Speaking with him at SDAC, it seems the car has turned a corner and is starting to come around. He was running good this day and I knew I needed to be on my game. In my pre-race prep I threw a few more psi in the controller, and tuned up the startline boost.

Me Rob
r/t - .192 .226
60' - 1.626 1.764
330'-4.442 4.676
1/8 -6.661 6.949
mph-114.55 109.32
1000-8.488 8.873
1/4 - 9.998 10.499
mph- 152.80 138.24

Rob was on my quarter for what felt like the whole run until the last few hundred feet where I pulled away some. The big end would not hold the extra boost I threw at it, contributing to my 38+mph gain on the back half. There is no doubt that Rob's car will be deep into the 9's on a good track. I had a great time at SDAC20. Sorry for the long post! See everyone next year!!

[Reeves]

Nice write up! :thumb:

I did a best of 14.1 X 100 mph in my Charger at SDAC at 15 PSI. I cranked it to 18 PSI for the finals and screwed up the run so I went back out to my local strip tonight to burn off the race fuel. I just returned home......13.55 @ 103 :partywoot:....on a hot lap. No too bad for a 1500 dollar turd.

Cool!
I figured the race gas would help.

Nice write up, Brian!

I'm not sure when I will be able to get back out to the track. Although I have made huge progress on my house since comming back from Hagerstown, I still have alot to do.

thanks Brian for the encouraging words. my only goal is to be a little faster then the person next to me ;)

I've been putting off reading the posts, knew I would kick myself harder for not making the trip knowing the BSX would be out, new house keeping me buisy.

Nearly 40mph from the half...un F-ing real!! Picking up 20+ has always been cool to see but that is awesome Brian, I would love to see it next year.
