Took her to the track - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Well...took my 90 to the strip here tonight for the Friday night street legals, which I sponsor

, was three cars from the water box & it started to pour,

. Ya' I was happy

. Rained like a bitch the whole 30 mile trip home too. Needless to say the car needs a bath, it's a mess! Wouldn't be so bad if I would have gotten in a lick or two.

That sucks, I would be pissed too. Amazing timing, huh?

Ya'...even had my helmet on. Thunder storm just blew through out of nowhere

. Not worried about the car, it's working really good. Happy with it. Might have to tweak the fuel cut-off yet though, engines accelerating so hard/quick through 7000 RPM that if I'm not bang on the shift, it'll bounce off the 7200 RPM cut-off like nothing

. Engine works good upstairs, that's not small talk

Oh, with the thumbs down I thought it was gonna be a lot worse! At least you drove her home.

Sorry to hear that Ryan. I was looking forward to hearing how the 90 ran.

Ya'...me too John. Air wasn't too bad either, Corrected Altitude was 3350 FT., pretty decent for here. Had some guys racing at the Div. 6 points race in Acton, MT. this weekend, air was like 7100 FT.!! Brutal

Brutal is an understatement. Density Altitude means everything.

We used to run at Fallon, NV with corrected air approaching 9,000 feet in August and September. When I was running my Camaro there, times were 11.90 at that time of year. Normally would run in the 11.65-11.70 range. We went over the hill to Sac in April 1999 and with nothing more than increasing jets F&R 6 sizes the car ran 11.01. Corrected air there was no worse than 400 ft all day. As a matter of fact, when I ran air at 7:00 AM the Density Altitude showed 768 ft BELOW Sea Level. I was jacked. With a torque converter change in mid 1999 it was running 11.4's in Fallon, 11.2 in Boise. So I figured Sac would have been somewhere around 10.70, but never ran it at Sac again as we moved to Idaho in April 2000.

That's cool John, never knew you've raced at Fallon.
