Says the guy who needs to build a race car for the class!




Imma try to "motivate" you (aka talk shit) as much as I can, to get you to finish the auto car. :D

More in the plans now than ever.

Ship me that 6-bolt 4g64 crank ;)
 
She ran good Pat! No crazy numbers, but my whole plan was to keep it together throughout the event. :pray:

1st pass against Hiens 9.8 I ran a 10.7@ 141. Kept the nitrous on through the 2 step just a hair on the next pass and netted a 9.675@143 (best of the day), then a 10.0@144, and eliminated right before the semi qualifiers on a 9.9@145 to a fast little hatch back that ran a 9.674@146. :thumb:

Drove it back into the trailer, no leaks, no real issues other than the bottle going empty, but thats another lesson learned. Not a costly one, and the motor held together after the oil pump fiasco from the last event.

You gotta get out there Pat. The heads up class needs to stay healthy in participants.

Good to hear man! Taking her home in 1 piece is always my goal :D

Damn that little hatch that's 2 wins in a row right? :mad:LOL

Don't worry man the Evo will be out to play very soon....but DAMN all you AUTO guys keeps givin gme evil thoughts on selling the Evo and building another DSM just for the drag strip :ohdamn:

BTW nice vid thanks for sharing.....

Cmi events are once in awhile for me. Ive been to 3 in a row and still no pat.

Sorry to keep missing all these but i had been waiting on a part to arrive and it should be here by Wed so testing is soon to follow and should be ready for the May19th event.....hope to meet you some time!

I lost to the Brian Brock EG again in the final.:ohdamn:

My check engine light was going crazy and knock counts kept climbing on top of first gear... Shorted shifted to second and the EG pulled away about 2 lengths so I shifted to neutral and coasted to finish line. I figured there is no way to catch him once he's ahead. I didn't want to risk blowing the motor and still lost the race. I looked at the log and everything was fine. Must have been false knock from something hitting the engine block. Car pulls strong on the way home.:hellyeah:

Found out later that he stripped 4th and also coasted to the line.

Should have given my bottle to Ted and have him take care of business.

Thanks for the info and glad that the motor wasn't hurt.

Gotta admit that your set-up is working very well especially driving to and from the track like that i admire the effort but love the comfort of my truck :)

What turbo are you on this year?

I'm running the GTX35R now Pat.
 
Almost forgot about the May event. Ill see how things are and how the weather is that weekend. Maybe I'll bring the car.

Sounds good Justin hope you make it out :hellyeah:

I'm running the GTX35R now Pat.

Nice you guys have that turbo making some good power how far are you pushing it over 40psi?
 
I'm at 38psi right now. I will try to turn it up in May to compensate for the weather.

Don't turn it up too much.......you gotta give us a chance :pray:LOL

BTW anyone else have any links to other vids of the action???
 
There were a bunch of cameras out there. So I'm sure there will be a nice show and race compilation coming up soon. Editing, music and making it flashy takes TONS of time.

I know where I'm sending all my videos when all said and done.

LOL I hope you ain't talking about me! You must be looking for Tito aka AlloutCL55 aka 3HeadedElephants.

I figured Tito would be all over that i enjoy watching his edits but sometimes it's easier for me to just watch quick vids of action w/no music just the sound of motors spinning to 9000+rpms :hellyeah:

HURRY UP TITO :p
 
He did that short one for me to. How foolish of me to think you made any videos.

Aw come on man, you know I'm not computer savvy. I just punch keys into my SD tables and hope for the best! /sarcasm

:D

I didn't see Tito out there with a camera so I don't think there will be any cool footage of the event.

I wont even comment on the so called "Models" they had around the show. :confused:
