[FJM568]

Waiting to hear the details...How'd you do at the NATS??? Did your dad run, too???

I'm just mad because I couldn't get away to go...

 

[Scott231]

Yeah, we noticed you wimped out

Joe Reif Sr - 11.70
Joe Reif Jr - 10.92

wooohooo...Jr got his 10...at the NATS no less!!! and Sr kept the crank in one piece this time?!?!? heheh

Way to go Joe...

I really gotta just pick one car to work on at a time and get it done...Now if the machine shop would just quit screwing around and do it the way I tell them and get it right the first time, maybe I can get my 87 T running soon...The 85 is almost done, should be running 11s in no time...

gotta go...

Oh Scott, your too humble....Scott forgot to mention he went 10.67 @ 126 mph on a conservative 23-24 psi tune! I'm afraid to see what kind of ET's Scott will run when he actually runs that 70 in it's "sweet" spot???

What boostage where you running Joe Jr? Just curious! Congrats again man!!!!!!!

PS- glad Papa Joe kept his car in 1 piece!

Congratulations Joe! Did you end up getting a new fuel pump?

The 10 second pass was at 24-25 psi on a 1.51 short time. At first I went 11.001 and was certain my 10 second slip was around the corner on the next pass. But as usual, I was doing too much tuning and playing with the combo and knocked off a BUNCH of 11'os and 11 teen passes before the 10.92 pass. Yes I had to get a new fuel pump. I went with the Aeromotive pump that is good for 750 turbo HP. This new pump may have to go back as I noticed my FP gauge bouncing all around at idle with 1/2 tank of fuel??? I borrowed my dad's other gauge that we know is good to confirm or deny that my POS Kenny Bell gauage hasn't taken a ****ski. I cannot imagine that this new pump would have crapped out with just 26 passes on it! (yes that's how many passes I made at BG in 3 days) It's kind of depressing knowing that my GN will most likely never run another 10 second pass untill I go to another good track, or KCIR pulls their head out of their 4 courner contacts and starts prepping the track like they should That BS of charging an additional $5 a car to "resurface the track" is so bunk! They will close up shop before the city allows them to resurface the track. Oh well, I'll run with what I have to use for now, and wait with much excitment for the Midwest Buick Challenge in Moroco, Indiana and Buick versus Ford in Noble, Oklahoma to run my 10.7xx's

Congrats Joe! Please explain the $5 a car charge at KCIR, it's been a while since I've been there. Does that mean $15 to get in? For everyone?

 

[92 Z-28]

It is still $10 to get in KCIR, but it is $15 to race now.
