Not going to make it this year. Son got married this month and my budget was "compromised". Beside that, the car has only been running good for about a week and hasn't been locally track tested. I'll miss being there.

I really wish I could make it but getting time off has been pretty difficult lately. Plus the white Spirit R/T and Shelby Lancer really need to get moving under their own power sometime this year. I told my boss I might just take my two weeks vacation and build *my* stuff in the shop.
Get some good photos for us East Coasters and have fun.
Good luck everyone going!
Maybe an article and pics for Up Front Alan?

In for weekend update. Good luck all!
Smallish turnout in Sport Compact so far on TNT day, today will be bigger. Woody runs about like you'd expect a car that still had the motor/trans on the shop floor 36 hours ago New BB 20% cal runs waaaaay better than trying to play with fule pressure etc on stock cal, thanks to Rrider for making that happen. I'd be running something else or spectating if he hadn't delivered it to me 4 hours before loading onto the trailer. Thanks Man
So still sorting cam timing because adjustable gears never seem to be right without degreeing(no, didn't have time and didn't bring tools to do it here) and ignition timing, I have no idea where I'm at, not only did I get the I shaft a tooth off in my haste but there's no reference mark on the new torque convertor. I just kind of keep adding till it pinged (nice to have the flash CHECK ENGINE feature on the BB cal) then backed it off a little. Add to that that I spaced on ordering a wideband 02 until 10 days before the event and the ebay seller was not the fastest shipper so I don't have one and reading plugs is really old school but about all I have to go on for setting fuel pressure. I think were pretty close there, after 3-4 dismal passes everything came together yesterday afternoon with a 2.017 60' and a 15.15 ET @ 86MPH. 14's today or bust! Gotta get to track now...

Going to add anymore boost or just try harder? I know the turbo vans I watched in Utah were all over the place on times based on how well brake boosting at the line went.

pretty good for the first time out with the motor Alan. My times were usually based on traction as Ondonti said the launch makes a huge difference, the best i ever got was a 2.0xx 60' so you are already getting there. What boost/ turbo you running? any other TMs running well?
Nice shakedown runs Alan! 14's here you come!

Well, no 14's this trip. chasing code 13 alllllll day. We checked everything, made sure no leaks in Vac line, then to be sure we did away with the factory Vac source that also runs to the FPR and ran a dedicated line to the intake manifold that ONLY went to the MAP sensor. So after being frustrated by an intermittent 13 for about 4 hours, we started calling trying to find an 89 turbo Trans Am/Firebird unit. No way we were gonna find one right? Way! The GM dealer 15 iles away has one on the shelf!! The drive seem to take forever and I'm certain they're calling my class and I'm missing passes $183. Glad to pay it if it fixes my problem but wait, the number on the 1995 Delco box is correct, but the MAP sensor inside has a different number. Uh Oh. Not a supersede either, counter guy insists that the part number on the sensor DOES NOT exist in the GM part system, hell, he doesn't know what it is If I take a chance on it, it's non returnable, uh OK, thanks Chevy. So even tho he insists that 'he could get fired' he sell it to me at employee price, $117. done. On my way back to the track, but wait, there's a Pep Boys... GUy in there is super helpful, no he doesn't have it but he can have it in the am for $260. Uhhh.... He starts calling around, other stores, CARQUEST, Autozone, NAPA-Bingo, NAPA has it for $120. Head over there, made in China, low quality piece but it comes up 1989 3.8 Firebird with Turbo. OK then... Back to track, install, start Woody, CEL is out now for 30 seconds. GAH!
Anyway an hour of frustration later, an TM experienced guy says, "you know, that vacuum source looks iffy" We're like no, we've already changed it. He's like yeah, OK but it looks iffy. So with nothing left to try or to lose, we change the vac feed to MAP again. Fixed. No CEL. Even after 30 seconds or 5 minutes. I've missed 5 passes total in 2 different classes. One more pass to the day left, it's 5:30 Launch hard feels good but a little soft, is it the 5 gals of 110 VP leaded I had to put in? I took 2 PSI outta the fuel pressure,,, 14PSI boost ( a whole 'Nuther issue, couldn't get it to go any higher) the 87 CSX guy from Utah (Jeremy I think?) goes motoring right around me even tho I treed him AND 60'd him(and he's on 26X8.5 slicks and I'm on 23.5X7.5's) He ran 14.0 and I ran a 15.20. Oh well, nothing broke and I had fun. In me heart I know Wooody will run a 14.XX on 91 Octane at 16PSI Just not this trip. On to random pics
My old SRT6 was there DOMINATION the Auto X course, guy has spent some greenbacks on it, painted it some Ferrari Grigio color, pulley, tune, suspension. Hate the color, still like the car!

Nice to see the cargo van there.
I have no idea what you use that GM map sensor for.
At least you listened to the guy when you thought you were right.

Bummer on the issues man, but glad it got sorted out! Yeah, 15.20 on 110 octane on only 14psi... I'm guessing it does have a 14 in it on 91/16psi!
Thanks for the pics!

Yup, Alan and Milspec were hard at all week end and 14s are a sneeze away-especially with those 60 ft times!
We took the easy way out this year and drove the new ATS out there. Allegedly, it would cruise easily at 125 and returned over 30mpg for the trip! We'll bring a Mopar next year.
Tried to post some pics, but I see the site is having issues again.

Did anyone stick around to see some final rounds?
Yes my brown van is still faster than Alan's!Woohoo!

The final round was a Fiat 500 against a Dart turbo. The Fiat was dialed in at 18.60 and the Dart was 16.57. The Dart ended up leaving early and giving the race to the Fiat.
