Default More Bad Luck........

Yea I went to the track today. . . but it was a complete dissapointment. When I had my bottle filled today, the guy said that my fittings have gone bad. He gave me a new fitting and I put it on the bottle. When I got to Bowling Green I opened the line and noticed that the new fitting was leaking some n20. I tried tightening it, but it was still leaking. I ended up breaking the nipple of the bottle valve. :bash: I didnt even have time to make on pass on the n20! I was SO dissapointed. I drove 1 and a half hours to get there and I ended up breaking the n20......

Im going to buy a new nipple soon and ill try to go back for some nitrous runs. While I was there I did make a few N/A passes......

1st run: 13.8 @ 100 w/ 2.0 60ft! on the first run! (against an old S-10)

2nd run: missed 2nd and cruised to the finish. Got beat by a ford probe.

3rd run: 14.1 @ 99 w/ 2.2 60ft.:censored: got murdered by an LS2 GTO trapping 112 and ran a 12.9 w/ 2.1 60ft.

4th run: 13.9 @ 100 w/ 2.1 60ft ........noone in the other lane

While I was there I saw: a Kenne Bell Cobra go 11.0 @ 125mph, A C5 Corvette with a crappy driver that could only get it to run a 14.0 @ 106!
A twin turbo 95 cobra run a 10.8 @ 130mph
Several bolt on Gts run 13.8 - 14.2 @ 97-101
One Bolt on GT with some kind of n20 shot. It ran a 12.7 @ 110

After that I was so dissapointed that I went home. I will be back soon!

Well your N/A looks about right nothing to be mad about there. But that does suck about the nitrous...lol...I always check my stuff twice before I get to the track and a day in advance
