Went to the 1/8th mile track tonight and made like 12 runs. It was crazy! The track was hooking good off the line, but I got mad wheelspin halfway down the track. My clutch was slipping really bad into 2nd gear. I just had to let out of it like 5 times just because it wouldnt grab. Then a couple runs I blew the tires away at the line or they started spinning down the track. It almost got real sideways on me towards the finish. I got about 5 decent runs in. There was still a little clutch slippage, but it made it down the track at least.

I ran alot of cars. I only got a few good runs in though. There was a 98 cobra with a good cam, full exhaust, slicks and skinnies. He got the jump on me but I passed him down the track and had him by about 2 cars. clutch still slipping...

I pulled up next to an 03 cobra vert annerversary. It had exhaust and a K&N intake from all I could see. I guess maybe it had a tune. He was on street tires and so was I. When we pulled into the lanes I just brushed the tires off and no burnout. Hes over there doing a crazy john force burnout then blasts across the line. It was a badass race. At the line I was holding my revs and the centri was whistling crazy loud. The light turns green and I had to peddle it out of the hole. His eaton sounded sweet! Seems like he was having a lil traction problems too cause we hooked up at the same time. I pulled on him all the way down the track. I think I had him by 2-3 cars! After we were done he said he got wheelhop halfway down track, but my clutch was slipping also!

Then I ran some 96-98 mustang GT with alot of mods done to it. I dont know what it had but this was my best run and I only had him by like 1-2 cars. I got squirly halfway down the track or it could have been faster. This was at "The Hill". At Beech Bend I can usually cut like .2 seconds faster in the 1/8th.

nice runs! I've never ran at Beech Bend but I've been there a few times, we should plan a track day

 

ROAD TRIP!!!!

 

Today looks like a washout at Beech Bend but next Saturday is their last Test & Tune day this year. I'm planning on going for sure , hope to see you there

 

Hey Jay, what time is the test & tune? Me and some buddies might try to head down there.

 

you all suck.. ill be at work all day next saturday

but in the spring, we're planning a beech bend track day for sure

 

Great idea!! I think all of us around the area should get together next spring at BB.

 

rofl, im a supervisor and we're doing our "dry run" for the day after thanksgiving, they'd kill/fire me

 

Test and Tune is from 11am to 5 pm CST

 

Well, I'm thinkin on going and I'll have a couple buddies with their stangs. Hey Christie, what time you work this Sat? You know you wanna go. *cough*CALL IN TO WORK*cough*

Hey wnracing, it probably costs $10-15....not sure cause the times I've been up there this year was for Corral Day and NMRA.

 

Beech Bend is a 1/4 track.

 

Any word on the forecast for Sat. in KY? I'd hate like hell to make the 5.5 hour trip down there and get rained out. I have not raced my car since June, my new MT drag radials are just screaming to be abused and it would be fun to whoop Jay's sorry *** a couple of times.

 

Looks great right now Dean. I'd love to see you come down. The results of our match-up will be quite different this time

yea I have to work on saturday. I am going to the 1/8th mile again tonight though!

 

As long as you miss second again it won't.

 

I had one 12.93 @105 warm-up pass , spinning thru 1st. Lowered tire pressure and broke the 1-2 shift fork on the very next pass..done til next spring

 

Keep me informed if anyone plans a Spring meet. I'm in Evansville, IN and wouldn't mind a little road trip in the spring. Around a two hour drive for me I believe.
