[jetta-girl]

So am I Sarah.... I'm heading up there for one sole reason.........so I could redeem myself from the spanking you gave me last year.....

Now what?


All kidding aside.... Will miss you as well. Hope everything works out for you and hope to see you back in the saddle at West Fest 2011.

I'm working on getting back in the saddle! I'll be there for West Fest 2011 for sure, and will be planning on lining up w/ you first at the drags!!

Thanks Pierre! Looking forward to see you next year!!

Bora's got an extra one. He's too good to put it on his car apparently...

Okay, so I've been wondering why two weeks before fest I was able to get a 15.9 on the drag strip, and at fest 16.2...

It's not concrete evidence however before waterlands (first drag racing) I put at least a double shot of powerservice into the tank. For fest I neglected to do so.

I suppose the only way to prove my theory is to put a couple shots of the stuff in and go down for some drags before changing anything else

3 10ths could definately be fuel related.

 

[JetPuf]

Maybe I was just being too nice to my car... didnt want to break it again.

What's that mantra:
You weren't trying hard enough if you didn't win or break your car?

 

[MAXRPM]

It was (the Joneses) sticker that gave you the bad luck on the time.

^ just jealous you didnt' get one

jetpuf were you 60''s the same on both runs? more than likely it was a good start vs a bad start. same way I ran a
15.2 @ 97 and a 15.7 @101 - it all came down to the first 60 ft.

60'----330----1/8----mph----1000----1/4----mph
2.342-6.593--10.173-68.99--13.295--15.930-85.51
2.525-6.902--10.521-68.57--13.645--16.276-85.86

 

[tongboy]

almost the same 1/4mph and .2 difference in your 60' easily explains .3 at the end - you came out of the hole slower so you ended up at the finish line later - you can see it carry all the way through your other trap times

 

[JetPuf]

Must be from the more mass of a limited slip diff. haha

 

[MAXRPM]

Tongboy, what kind of turbo and tune were you using in your MK2??

 

[tongboy]

some odd sized too-big exhaust housing turbo and a vw mikel tune

I love how technical this is.

 

[tongboy]

I love how technical this is.

non technical it may be it still out ran you

technical: DFIS didn't even know what turbo it is, it's a MAF-less tune, that holds ~24psi

 

[O.C.TDI]

IIRC it's a Ivetco 2260 with non functional ported shroud. Its off a larger truck

O.C.

 

[Farfromovin]

I just realized the winner of this years Drag Races was kinda cheating. He's got a sponsor! Look at the lower left side of his car for the sticker

Brian,,, you only get 36.3 mpg on that Beetle,, I imagine you really stomp on the pedal all the time to get that kind of MPG ,,
