The YB nationals had some of the best racing I've ever seen at Cecil. Fast cars and large spectator turnout, good weather and some of the best prep I've ever raced on.

Friday night

1st pass (not sure what happened on this pass)
60' - 1.57
1/8 - 7.15 @ 96.98
1/4 - 11.15 @ 123.53

2nd pass (hot lapped since the lanes were getting ready to close)
60' - 1.55
1/8 - 6.99 @ 98.12
1/4 - 10.95 @ 126.14


Saturday - I can't find the timeslips so I dont have the detail on these passes.

1st pass
60' - 1.5x
1/4 - 10.87 @ 127

2nd pass
60' - 1.5x
1/4 - 10.87 @ 127

3rd pass (Changed the plugs, went with some a step colder)
60' - 1.5x
1/4 - 10.81 @ 128


Sunday

1st pass
60' - 1.55
1/8 - 6.93 @ 101.51
1/4 - 10.77 @ 127.71

2nd pass (1st round of eliminations)
60' - 1.54
1/8 - 6.89 @ 101.72
1/4 - 10.73 @ 127.74
Dialed in 10.77 but the other guy red lit so I still got the win.

3rd pass (2nd round of eliminations)
60' - 1.51
1/8 - 6.89 @ 101.73
1/4 - 10.719 @ 128.55
Dialed in 10.72, broke out by one thousandths :bash:


Every pass I made this weekend was a little faster than the last and each day I dropped atleast a tenth, the only thing I was changing was my shift points. I think the car still has some more left in it on the motor so I'll be trying to get back to the track soon to try and get some more seat time until I can get it running it consistently and then I'll start tweaking the suspension and try to get my 60s down.

On the way home I stopped at the local cheese steak joint and I had one of the delivery drivers tells me he runs 10.90s @ 163 (yes, I did say 163) in his rx8 that he uses to make deliveries. :dw:

Thanks Carlos. Yes it does, it was so hard not to give it a try. I'm hoping to get everything squared away soon so I can start testing it.

Thanks, yup all passes are n/a. I won't spray it until I don't think it will get any faster on the motor and I want to make some changes to the suspension also.

Congrats on your runs, glad to see you kept going faster and faster. Has to suck when you break out by one, one thousandth of a sec. BTW i think the guy in the RX8 was full of just a little shit, lol. Might have been a sloppy run but i think we can judge that he doesn't hit the track too often.

Thanks, it did suck but I wasnt too pissed since I was happy it was my fastest run so far.


Yeah he was full of shit, he saw my car and wanted to brag about his. I dont even think a Supra could ET that bad if it could trap 163. He even found it nescersary to start it up and start revving the engine so I could hear the exhaust even though I didnt ask him to.

Jon,

Good stuff man. I am glad I was able to watch the car leave. Address that ARB and those upper bushings in the rear and I think you should be done buying parts for a bit. Just adjustments from there.

Good luck and I will keep you posted if we have something going on at any tracks around baltimore/DC.

Thanks for the help on Sunday, hopefully we can get a rental setup when your ride is back on the road.

Oh yeah, I changed my tach out last night and from driving it on the street I can definately tell its reading a little different, RPMs are showing higher now than before so I'm guessing thats why I was hitting the 7k limiter when it only showed 6k. I doubt this is going to help me out any since I started shifting at 5500 on Sunday.

yea the car he was tuning killed the tires in the first round from sitting up on the converter heating it up and making it looser and once it came off the brake it just killed them...
