1074, Back from the track..
Posted by DarkOne, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Not real happy with my time. I did get to make a shakedown run first, because they lost my 1/4 mile time and trap speed on my first slip. My first (and only) real run, i got:

rt.....1.309
60'....2.238
330'...6.054
1/8th..9.128
mph....81.84
1000'..11.722
1/4....13.914
mph....103.22

So i retuned it, checked my plugs, etc while i waited for the guys to bring me a helmet. They couldn't get it. So i never got to run again. Damn car ran better on the way home than down the 1320... Stupid helmet rule.

Time for some drag radials if you wanna put that power down. with radials, you are easily gonna see low 13's, if not high 12's. Practice on getting the 60' down and you are golden. i smells another 420A in the 12's very soon! :-)

13's is quite an accomplishment :)

Now you have to shoot for 12's, damn this money pit.

Finally met Dino and some of the other guy! They were really cool guys. Hey Dino i found out why i was running like shit. My friend John forgot to change my NOS pills to a 100 shot. Yesterday was the first time i had my car for a week since i was working on replacing an exhaust valve. He finished putting the car back together and left the 75 pills in there. However, I will be going back next weekend or weekend after w/ the 100 or 125 shot and a full bottle instead of this funky ass 4lb shit that 3-d performance gave me, so if you and the guys want to get together let me know and we can roll up there. I can get you a helmet to wear as well. No excuses this time. I will run the 13's that i say i can. My last run ended up being my best...

1.193
2.385
6.159
9.479
78.54
12.376
14.745
98.20 (damn 18's)

This was my first run....

1.338
2.466
6.497
9.791
75.38
12.615
15.007
94.25

DINO IS A VERY NICE GUY....DONT LET HIS PICTURE SCARE YOU!
I guess now you have to kill me too!

You stick or auto? How did you mess up that valve?

car leaned out too much. i sprayed a 100 shot on the street with too little fuel and it burned the valve. i had to spend a couple hours a day to take the motor apart and put it back together. i even sold my cam gears to get some money for parts. oh yeah im manual. I felt like an ass because i couldnt get a decent run while all the 2gnt guys were there. Just looking at my 60' times and mph times show that i should have been in the low 14's w/ that damn 75 shot. i will redeem myself though.

What is the Helmet rule???
So should I take a Helmet next time I go?

you need a helmet if you are running faster than 14 sec or faster
