SDAC BC chapter first drag meet

[boost geek]

Last night was our first meet at Mission as a new chapter. It was awesome, had a total of 5 cars there, more than I have seen in a long time. One was a LeBaron from Edmonton, 69viper, who was running low 12's, the fastest of the bunch. Usually we come out to cheer on Simon, so it was cool to see such a large showing. Wopr had his IROC RT, Simon, 4cefedomni had a Caravelle, as his Omni wasn't ready yet, 69viper with his LeBaron, and me. I finally got out of the 13's, ran a 12.8@115, so the night was good.
These pic's were taken before Don showed up, so sorry, I don't have a pic of your Caravelle.

I am glad I made it out last night. Really can't resist that urge to get my hands dirty with all those hoods up.

For those of you that I forgot to tell (sorry, lots was going on), I'm going to be a Daddy!!!

It was nice to see Dick run some new fastest times.

Did anyone get any runs in after I left? I saw all the S/Cs lined up when I was walking away, but you guys hadn't got into the lineup.

Since I'm not too frequent on here anymore, someone will have to call me when everyone's going to be out again.

Congratulations!
The next race is in 2 weeks. It was nice seeing you again, it's been a while...

[Whorse]

It was really good to see everyone again. I was worried that when I had to get out of it for a while that things would fall apart here and there wouldn't be a local group around when I wanted to get my car up and running again.

[WOP'R]

Congrats Whorse!

I to am glad i finally made it out. Its nice to put a face to the names. Shelby Dodge Fields...best name ever!

Not all too happy with the way the R/T performed but once i figure out my boosting issue im sure illl have the #'s i want

[Whorse]

Did Don get any more runs in the Caravelle?

[bakes]

Did anyone get a vid of mr. Dick's wild toad ride?????

[boost geek]

Toad ride?

[Whorse]

I saw you getting a bit sideways a couple of times there hehe.

[bakes]

Thought Dick was going to come in simon's lane and say HI im here!!!!

[bakes]

I have to laugh dick after listening to vid , you were spinning the tire all the way into 3rd.

Rained out for the test and tune, but luckily it dried out for the Street Legals, 5 of us there, pretty cool.

4 runs at 12 psi, got to the line, tried to do a burnout, wouldn't spool, WTF? Staged, launched, no boost until like 100 ft out of the hole then off she goes, whopping 15.7@95 mph.

Tweaked the cal some more and got down to 15.0, wow,

Tried my old TIII cal, a bit more boost, 18 psi to make up for no boost at the line, raced Wop'r with his R/T, I got him at the light by .5 sec, which turned out saved my azz, I saw him come up near the end of the track but then my van took off, like a 2 stroke, lol, and got him at the light, 14.7 to his 14.2,

That was the last run, dew point set in so they told us and off home we went.

Figured out the converter is my problem, can only stall at 2800 rpm, so the advice to run that one screwed me up,

Gotta figure out how to get the stall up to 4000, without spending a fortune.

looks like you need to take a considerable amount of time and work on the cal. i bet you can get the spool better with some more work. take it slow and dial each 1000rpm point/psi point and youll be alot better than just popping in different random cals. your setup is different enough from any stock cal that you are going to have to dial in EVERYTHING.

PS, i tried to call you back but some kid answered (your son?) and babbled something into the phone and then i heard silence lol

Its not the cal, I can only stall 2800, NOT near enough to spool that turbo, I tried the 12 sec cal just to test if it was the cal, which it isn't as both cals spooled the same.

Yeah, my son answered, lol, doh!

But I went slow-didn't turn up the boost and say f*ck it, only turned it up to 18, lol, far as I wanted to go, proud of me?

Nice pic's, Bakes! Except for my bald spot.

well youve learned something.... you used to go to 30+ psi rather than just 18 lol.
