Thurs-sat BG what a rush for me :)

[SloGN]

hey guys and gals

just got back home from the BG this year with the good ole SloGN. i put 1107 miles on her since thurs morning got 23 MPG over the entire trip.

I also couldn't stand it having SloGN at the track and not make a pass or 2

on true street tires(245/60-15's) i made 2 passes. This was @ 21 psi of boost with 3 gallons of 110 to a 1/8 tank of 93 and 21 degrees of timing

run 1

2.03 60FT
7.91 1/8
12.32 1/4 @ 105.14 MPH car rattled @ 93 mph 9.8 degrees so i got out of it. i think when i tried locking the converter was a no no and caused the knock.


Run 2

2.07 60FT
7.98 1/8
12.24 1/4 @ 115.09 MPH again @ 21 psi of boost and 21 degrees of timing and i also run the car thru in 3rd gear. with 1.4 degrees of knock.

i really happy that i drove the car there and back and ran a low 12's with street tires and got 23 mpg the entire trip


I'm sure there were people laughing @ me for running on street tires and the SloGN tag

BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what run do you have on video the first or second? i think my buddy bob stanley has my first run on video.


i think the car like to run thru the lights in third gear instead of fourth. I know after what happen on the first run that i will not ever try locking the convertor.

vernon when you run thru the 1/4 do you allow the car to run thru the lights in 3rd or 4th ?


actualy can you post that video on the yahoo board

 

[Turbo1dr]

It was the 115mph run. I'll have to find the video because the video's are numbered in series.

I've always held it in 3rd. You can always lock the converter at the top of third if needed.

I had a great time as usual. I remember your run as well, that's awesome to run those times and then drive all that way back with it.
Hey Turbo1dr, I saw your car up close too Thursady or Friday over by the oval track stands, very noce car in person, I never saw you around when I was over by there or I would have stopped by and said hi.
