Heheh, here is my buddy finally getting the "win" light on me yesterday at Mason Dixon:

We ran 3-4 times with me having the power key off, but I kept nudging him out. He finally had it all come together, and nipped me by .03 seconds!

You can hear the announcer point out we'd run 13 times at that point. Except for the heat, it was a perfect day to drag race. Hardly any cars at first, we made four runs right in a row. It was test and tune only, so there were a lot more street cars than normal. It was pretty fun!

Here was my PB of the outing:

In the car I heard the announcer say I'd have my hands full. Didn't know what he meant, but I think that Civic runs on the juice sometimes? He was turboed though.

How about a "Brown Helmet" award for best key off time next week?

I DREAM ABOUT GETTING 14 RUNS . i drive 200 miles one way to get maybe 4 runs . thanx for sharing the vids .

jonszr1 · 06-20-2009

were you on street tires???

Aurora40 · 06-20-2009

Yes, street tires. The track there is very sticky, though. I was dropping the clutch at 3,000 rpms and bogging. Or perhaps that's a testament to my car being off? I dunno.

Yeah, 14 runs was awesome. Except for being disappointed with my times, it was otherwise excellent.

I think you'd have to line up against some mid-late 70's 'vettes to want to run that way. You sure wouldn't want to get blown away by some 14 second Corvette, even if you knew it was because you are in "normal" power mode.

Musta been someone else doing a burn out as you went down the track. Either that or your clutch is slippin sumthin awwwful!

What mods (if any) do you have?
