Yeh it seems the left is a little on the slippery side.
Our car spun on the top of 3rd and some into 4th in the left lane.
I was going to crank the boost up a little to take advantage of the dropping temps. Good thing I decided not to. The air is very good today at the track. At the end of the 1/4 our air temps were in the low 100deg.F range vs high 150's in the Florida heat.
I met Ernie T and Jay but did not get too see Ernie's 1st pass.
Numerous records are being set/broken today. Gary Gardella ran a 7.27@214mph in PRO FWD.

The motor let go. I have nothing to complain about. I think the motor was tired being in there since July with 40+lbs of boost goin through it. That will take its toll on any motor. So off to the mad scientist so he can put me back togeather again. Won't be long.
Great to meet Cris and Jim from JPR. Thanks for the offer, I appreciated it.

I was afaird of those duel supra pumps
when you mentioned you was pushing 35 PSI and 6 injectors.
Unfortunantly the dyno does not put as much load on the fuel system/motor as it does
when you actually put it down on the pavement.


Now put those NRS seals in there, get the weldon pump installed
and mark where the boost controller is set at 35 PSI... turn it down to 25 PSI
and go from there. get use to 600+HP 1st down the track
you should be able to run low 10's/high 9's then cranck the boost up. once you see the car is dialed in.

Here at the track & its freezing. Right now they're down for clean up, racing should resume in 10mins. Pissed about paying $30 at the gate, but whatever.. Saw a few familiar faces but the stands looked kind of empty. **** rain is treatening to ruin the day. Crispeed don't leave the trailer open & unattended, this is NJ sticky fingers are everywhere.

Not sure till its apart. I was getting some blow-by even prior to the run so it may have been hurt and I didn't know it. We'll be using the NRS seals and a weldon pump for the next motor.

For the guys that didn't attend, don't feel bad cuz you didn't miss much.. The only exciting run was in the MOD finals with the silver starlet and blue 2nd gen. Both cars ran ***** out till the end and the starlet driver side window blew out at 1/2 track but he still didn't lift ...

You're not the first person that said that the event sucked, most I talked to said the stands were empty. When you say we didn't miss much, what made you say that?

$30 entrance fee, shitty left lane all weekend, v8's all over, only 1 bitch with her thong and *** peeking out (ask Chris, lol) long clean ups and a few more.... MOD class, Lazcano and picking Chris brain was the only things i found entertaining yesterday. I think that left lane cost Dee a race against the starlet
GRS has all the videos up
