HOT fontana track event..

[nordy racer]

(i'm car 1231) it was at least 95* out there today with no clouds in sight.. It was fun hanging out with the drag crew today, and was really nice not having to get up at 4am.. anyway... right off the trailer at 12 noon i ran the GN.. Boost was set at 30psi and timing at 26.5 degree...

Tried backing up the ET or doing better by pulling out 1 degree of timing and pulling 2psi of fuel out, this was at 2pm and temps were track temp was pushing 125* :frown: ... getting get my 9sec pass but a LOT BETTER.. 139.75 MPH same boost level 30psi

Third run at 4:30pm didn't do anything better.. 10.13ET at 137mph ..

Just wish the track temp was cooler so i could get some mid 1.40's 60ft's...

thanks for everyones help today at Fontana...

Almost 140mph and no 9's? Maybe 200mph will get you there. J/K Mike

You're there, Mike, you just don't know it yet. It's right around the corner.

1.42's should do it. Where's it slowing down?

I got tired of worrying about heat(vegas) Fabbed up a c02 intercooler sprayer activated at 100% tps and gained an average of 2/10's in the 1/4 during the heat of the day(100+) Some "RICE" innovations DO work:smile:
Consistency is KEY.

I've been looking in to that.
