i ran the car yesterday at a track rental with good and bad luck. we had awesome weather, best ive ever ran in. anyway, i should have went with my gut feeling and changed my clutch . its been int he car for 2 HARD years. it doesnt slip , but it gets hot real quick and i cant shift after one run. so enough with the excuses. i was in a rut all day, becuase everytime i would cool the car down , i would spin badly on the first pass and run descent , then would hook on the 2nd pass but miss gears. any way heres the story a string of 10.90's with meesly 60's. car EASILY could have went 10.70 yesterday. 15.5# eaton , full weight irs and 6 speed.
first run of the day 11.02 @ 128.07 on a 1.71 shiftin at 6000 7.14 @ 101.51 usually shift at 6200.
came around again ran 1.57 but missed gears - 10.80?
cool down
2nd time went 10.91@ 128.38 1.69 60' - 7.04 @ 101.41
hotlapped ran a 1.56 but missed , easily a 10.70!!!
cool down
3rd time went 10.90 @ 127.70 1.67 60' - 7.01 @ 101.62
hotlapped again ran a 1.56 but missed gears, again easily a 10.70, very fuggin frustrating!!!!
then i tried to use spray and no luck, i wound up running another 10.90 @ 126.84 on a 1.67 on my extremelely rich and very low timing , nitrous tune!! i was shocked. found out my plastic tube that feeds my nitrous into filter came off and i was spraying my nitrous out into the air. i fixed the nitorus line, well jay (blwn03) did, lol. and tried a couple more times , but still something was wrong. the car wasnt getting any spray. it didnt matter anyway , because the 2 more runs i did after that i missed gears anyway, lol. i have to change my clutch quick before my "shifting reputation" gets tarnished, lmao.
i wish i could have gotten off some spray passes in this weather, the times would have been rediculous. thats it for me for this season , over all , i think i did good. next year will be better!! ill also be hitting up the road course alot more. should be fun!!
