.........8hrs apart but who will be the quickest

 

I am laughing uncontrolably! THis is GREAT!

Our own grudge match with nobody paying attention!

Make sure you video it... i will video mine and then maybe we can get tuls to make a cool grudge match video to get some of these MINI guys in here and drag racing!

best of luck to you! If i don't get this damn clutch in this week im not going to make it to the track on the 11th!!!!

 

Our gearbox is out and our clutch is 60 miles away hopefully being rebuilt, I get the feeling there's some all nighters coming, also just to put a spanner in the works they've just re-laid the first 330ft so this means one of two things, either traction is going to be outstanding or I'm going to leave caterpillar tracks from the start instead of 30ft out.

 

schweet!!!! cant wait to see some vids!!!!!

 

How r u Kal? Have you quieten that exhaust yet LOL.

Going to Pomona with you following us made me realise that I'm getting an old grumpy man

 

im doin good Paul, how u been? yeah the exhaust is a lot quieter now. i put the stock header back in. here's a pic of the new exhaust from Dr. Fuh

 

At least 8 hrs gives us enough time to know if we even need to go to the track and reclaim the record!

 

You need a diesel rear bumper trim piece on that Kal then you can cut the exhaust bits where you like.

 

 

geez... should be fun!

we need to lighten our damn car up! But we can't remove our heater core like you mr webster! Ill just have to use some laxatives the night before to get down to racing weight

 

I'll put the heater core back in if you put the stock cylinder head back on

 

on second thought...

 

Latest weather report; Thur Snow Fri Snow Sat Rain Sun Rain 60% chance of rain

I LIVE IN THE WRONG COUNTRY

 

dont feel bad, its supposed to rain in la this weekend too. I dont know about AZ though.

This is good stuff! I cant wait to see footage of the grudge match!

 

The secret tuning Fireballed package has landed at East Midland airport

I just pray that Helix clutches say that they can get the clutch done by Friday when I ring the boss tomorrow morning.

Otherwise it looks like the stock clutch and flywheel will be going in

 

you sand bagger!


Heater core is coming out!!!

LOL!!!!

 

hmmmm so that 90# package made it through customs ok?

 

The package is stuck in Bury St Edmonds because of snow

Isellem has obviously being doing a snow dance knowing that our country has anything over 1 inches of snow and it comes to a grinding halt

 

LOL!!!!

either you have a powerful telescope pointed in this direction or i have turn my webcam off. Just kidding... i would never own a webcam! (no offense webcam owners)



LOL!

I was just watching a rerun of top gear where clarkson makes fun of how the UK shuts down when there is only an inch of snow but they pretend that it is like antartica!

 

Just got back had to fight through the snow today to go and get the clutch, had to do a few mods to get the new bits to fit, just got to make the new cat back system tomorrow and finish off etc etc and load up for Sunday

I can't believe how much snow New York has had is that for real 75 inches

 

ill get back to dancin then!!!!!! LOL!


Actually they are expecting about 100 inches in upstate according to our local talking idiots on tv

 

well... the 11th is about over in the UK... they are 8 hours ahead which puts us at 4 ocock at the time of posting this... so... i take it its raining. Otherwise im sure paul would be calling my cell phone and screaming and laughing about how i need to get back to the track or delete my signature

 

Oh I wish that was true, decided last night that it was defintley going to be a rain out so didn't have anything ready to go racing, wake up at 06.00 its raining weather report says its raining all day, by 10.00 there's blue sky.

So go to work pick up the car and go to the Pod when I arrive at about 12.00 they've finished drying the track and are glueing the track, as I said before the track is virgin for the first 330ft and they've only got one lane open. there's only 20 cars there due to the weather forecast.

Managed to get 12 runs in between 12.16pm and 16.42pm, we were 3mph down to begin with and about a secound off the pace, this of course is the problem with changing 4 things at once in the quest to go faster and then not knowing whcich one to blame for the lack of power lol.

The elevation had moved fron the other last months 434ft to 998ft and wind speed was between 7-12mph temp had gone up from 2 deg to 10 deg

In the end our best on slicks was;

60ft 1.9728
330ft 5.6019
1/8 8.7039
mph 80.09
1000 11.3009
1/4 13.6498
mph 99.12


So no need to worry Isellem you can start putting all that weight back in.

Need to start re-evaluating what we've done, it might be that last meeting was going to be the best ever with the stock head.

 

Good runs Paul!

What was your best mph of the night?

To bad AMVIV isn't a big drag race event, i would like to have you and Justin battle out here!

 

That was the best mph, its funny with teh nitrous I could run it 3 times on the trot i.e just go round and round and it would be really consistant, but these pully cars heatsoak like mad.

Unfortunatley my laptop is still at the repairers so I've no datalog info at the moment, I'm hoping it'll be back this week.
