silver dollar raceway blown up list

[Dragonfly5338]

We didn't get a chance to compete because we broke a half shaft in the morning, and missed qualifying while trying to get replacement, but off the trailer the 240 went 11.84@124, next pass it went 11.48@125, then we broke the half shaft. After we got it fixed, we got it back out and went 11.44@125 (pretty similair time to before). The very next pass was 11.26@126, but the FINAL pass of the day, hotlapping it like crazy to get a last run in, was 11.06@128. 23psi, GT35r, AEM, stock head, built block on the RB25. It's an easy 10sec street car. It's also a full weight, full interior street car. 2960lbs according to SDR's scales. I wanted the modified class, and I'm pretty sure we would've won, but no biggie. We have slips to back up the car, so it all worked out. I think we qualify for the "blown up" list based on the fact that we missed all the competitions, lol. A pretty fun day either way.

Was that the black s14 on drag slicks? You still suck, but that car was bad ass and a damn rocket out of the hole. Saw a few lethal cars running some good #s.

In other news, the blue evo that won AWD class was Rusty, a customer of ours. I got 3rd (I think) because Rusty took me out in the brackets. I should have gotten second, cause I was running faster times than all the other cars (Even my 12.8 pass missing 2 gears). But that's life, haha.

LoL, I managed to make it home okay, but I only ran 4 times. Best time was 12.1 @ 113mph with a 1.8 60'. Need to get more power, I think. Stock turbo just dies top end.

No, ET Streets. It was OK out of the hole, just not setup for drag racing. Yes, I still suck, and you're still a piece of shit, so we're all good I guess.

Yep.

Ahh okay. Well it seemed to have been working, because he was owning everyone off the line, lol. I saw the last couple runs he made once I got eliminated. Very nice car. He was SO close to the 10s by the end of the day, too. Crazy how the car kept improving on his times while hotlapping.

It was working for what it was, just not what it could be. We don't really care about drag racing, we just went for the hell of it. It's really a drift car, but I guess it can do decent at the drag strip now too. If there was more than 5min inbetween runs, it would've gone 10'80's. I don't know that it's much faster than that the way it sits, unless we start stripping it, or turning the boost up/adding power, and that would ruin the point of the car, although more power is always inviting. It's supposed to be a full weight street car, XM radio and all, but with the ability to drift with the best. Drag racing was secondary, but if it works then so be it.

Man,i love the way that 240 looks.I seem like your were spinning alot in 1st gear,or may it just sound like it from were we was sitting.You was determine to get into the 10s.

Yeah, it's probabaly the cleanest 240 you'll ever find. There's been a lot of time and effort put into that car...many, many long nights! 1st-3rd were spinning all the way to the rev limiter. We actually thought it would go 11.50's, but when we went 11.8 off the trailer, we knew it was faster than we thought. We really wanted to hit 10's when we saw how fast it really was, but we couldn't get enough runs in, nor was there enough time inbetween runs. We're happy with 11.06 though. There were a bunch of fast cars there, so it looks like we weren't the only ones who did well. Congrats to everyone else as well.

That was a nice run on your 12.1, I was very impressed with your driving. With a little more power and your ability to drive that car you could have definately taken the class. I told my girlfriend when we first got there and i saw you at the line that you were a good racer and you bogged and missed a gear. lol. She said, "That didn't look like a very good run to me". But you attoned for it and didn't make me look like a liar. You managed to put up better times every round than your man too didn't you?

Yeah my best 60' was a 1.7 which isn't great at all. I had the power and the trap speeds for an 11.9 but SDR wasn't giving it up that day, ha! I'd love to get into the 11s with the stock turbo, but it's real hard because you just fall on your face past 4.5k, can't hold the power past that.

I may try again sometime, or I may just say fuck it and upgrade the turbo, haha. Thanks for the props, btw - tell your girl that I really don't suck at driving, hahaha. Tray didn't run his car 'cause we have a deal that one of us has to have a car that runs and isn't broken, hahaha.
