Well, it didn`t get as cool as I`d hoped. The NA BA crew were out in force having some fun. Good on `em.

Only 2 Elite cars there I could see, mine and a rapid Typhoon.

I had my last run at 9:08pm and it was race number 323.. No crowd at all really.

I think my slicks are past there use by, I ran them at 18 psi and despite a fairly extravagant burnout still spun the crap outa second and lost .200 off my previous best 60 foot with 14 less kw`s.

Also had a pretty sobering weave up in the top end of the last run.

My best is 11.85 and that`s going to stand for some time. I`m done with it for now.

I was out there 2 ran a 11.990 on streets then a 12.100 but left bits of my engine on the track to im talking conrods and the like. looks like I wont be driving for a bit

OMG the Rapid Typhoon??

That sux, G.

I`ve got my front brakes gone.. Wear indicator, big arse judder some times just as it rolls to a stop.

I`ll prolly do the rears while I`m at it.

So comrades, I`m of the opinion I`ll retire from the drag strip.

I got 2 reasons, my Mickey T`s have served me well for the 150 bucks they cost me, but they are gorn.. I`ve lost .200 off my previous best 60 foots.

I have a car that does 11`s, I`m good with that.. Okay I can do 11.6 atleast maybe be better but I`m not about to throw $$$$$ on new Mickey`s to do it.

Nor am I going to tear the ring out of a new set of rear pads staging.

Its been fun, but I`m a crew chief from now on.

New brakes, springs, 27 mm front sway bar and bring on the track days and mountain cruises.

There might be one more go, a street tyre bench mark. Just before I need new tyres I may have a go. It`d be wheel spin city.

I`m hoping I get a call to finally get my front finished this week. I also need to source and fit new rotors and pads.

#7

yeah street tyres suck. ill blame them for my engine blowing lol

#8

Kyle, if you did an 11.99 on street tyres mate God only knows what you`d have done on Mickey T`s.

My best was 11.85 on my M/T`s and it really spun into second.. They should`nt really do that which tells me I got the last few runs out of them.

The Territory rims they are fitted to don`t really help, I near cack my back bone out lifting them onto the hub.

#9

#10
