This coming weekend. March 8th test n Tune, and march 9th Midnight madness. I was planning on going this weekend, but i had to replace one of my wheel bearings and the weather(snow) the past few days kept me from getting it done. Anyways, I'm gonna try and make it on the 8th for the test n tune.

Oh, I forgot to mention I got my slicks mounted and balanced, so Saturday should be pretty interesting to say the least. Hopefully I'll get a chance to wear the new helmet that I've had for months now.

Ok y'all. I'm heading up to MIR later this morning to see what kinda times I can get. Find me if any of y'all decide to go. It's a test n tune session all day. I'll be driving my white Dodge Shadow. Later.

Well, Saturday was a blast. Sorry I didn't see any of y'all there. I ran my best times ever. ran a 13.881 against a new Mustang GT, I won. Ended up blowing an intercooler hose at the end of the day. I'm pretty sure it was leaking as the day went on because I saw that my mph's kept going down. Anyways, next time hope to see some of y'all there. Later.

I'm not gonna be there again until the fiorst weekend in April. I've got a few more things to iron out cause I should be running low 13's with what I have. Funny thing, I'm too rich@18-19lbs. of boost. I guess that's what a 255 liter per hour fuel pump and 52lb. injectors will do for ya. Later.

Considering I am not a huge "racer" as far as building my car to take it to the track. I told myself this would be the last time I run my car at the track. Well I lied, because Sunday I had 3 of my worst runs I think anyone could ever have... Best time I had was 15.01, but the worst was a 16.242. The latter pissed me off the worst because I had a decent reaction time of .524 ( I usually average a .850) however, when I got to redline in 1st I had a little wheel hop which caused me to pop the gear out, and I tried to put it into second, but had lost so many rpms that I was well under i-vtec (around 3500 rpms). I know I am inexperienced so that had a lot to do with it... I guess I had some beginners luck last week with my 14.900.
Just wanted to share.... :cool:

Dude, don't let that stuff get your down. Everybody has there bad runs. Hell, everytime I blow one of my intercooler hoses I get like a 16-18 second run because I loose all my boost. This last time at the track was the best, I was running .515-.600 lights all day. Of course when they swap the sportsmans tree for a pro tree I run like 1.2 lights...lol Let me know next time you go and we can get together. I'm planning on going the first weekend in April. Later.
