Just want to see if anyone might be going or wants to on the 29th I will be there and hope to make it out of the burnout box this time I made some upgrades over the winter to the upper end so we will see. I know my uncle is going CLEMSGN with his 10sec street car T. Hope to see more there too.
NED on the 29th

Damn, not ready yet. I've been working on building a retaining wall at my house and haven't had a chance to do much on my car. DC, I hope you do better this time out! That was rough seeing your tranny poop out last time. The weather is supposed to be beautiful too.

Went up tonight to spectate. A friend of mine in a regular racecar dropped coolant and spun into the wall. He's OK but they shut the track down for 1:20 hours to clean it. Lots of huge riggs were pulling in for the weekend. I hope you guys are able to get more than 2 shots at the track. They are also fixing up the pits and a good portion of them are not in use. If my friend hadn't shut the track down it would have been a good night, not too crowded and cooled off real nice for us turbo guys. Good luck tomorrow, let know how you did.
OOP's I did it again
Well guys it happened agian, just not a tranny problem this time and I was able to get almost one pass. I wanted to make a single pass in street form with a little race fuel, 15 psi, my nittos, right off the street the way I drive her. The car pulls like a raped date and I managed a 11.95 at a low mph, I was off the gas @ 800ft when I noticed my boost guage was at O and my fuel pressure dropped to 35psi and POOOF motors wasted. The culpret was the vacume line blew off
forgot to replace the zip tie. Anyway I was pleased with the pass, now I know it should go 11.50 in street trim and 15psi w/ nittos, and with the new slicks I have, and 25psi, and my race chip and more than a 2psi 1.75 60ft launch, well I might see that 10 I am looking for.
Time to pull the motor, it runs ok and I have mint oil pressure but its knocking like a mofo and it increases with rpm too. Any ideas?

Hey Matt,
I re-did the upper end of the engine this winter, ported and polished heads, ported intake, 212-212 cam, 009's, all that stuff. I guess the heads I got are flowing pretty dam good. Dale Cherry's son ran low low 10's on 20psi with a 70 turbo with these. I am having the car towed back monday so I will drop the pan and check things.

Oh boy, bad luck. Hope it's not too serious.
Got the car back from NED today thanks to a good friend John he towed me back last time too. Thanks John. I will tear into the motor soon and let everyone know what the fup happened. It sounds like a rod bearing or even a wrist pin but who knows. I am still happy with the 11.9 in street trim and only 15psi of boost and a 3psi launch with nitto's.
looked like it may have been the darker one, i only saw the one t-type but may have not paid to close attention, but it was a nice clean looking car, wish i had more money miss my old gn and Ts, starting to really like the snowmobiles, must be a fun ride...
