Mopar Nats Saturday 5-14-05

Beautiful day mid 70's and sunny.
I Had a great time. Met up with Mike(Mikesduster) and met his father. Second time seeing Mike. Mike and his father are great people.

Ok here we go. First run off the light the motor broke up. Found a loose wire and cleaned the baterry posts. Problem gone.

Second Run I left at 2800 no tire spin cut a .043 light and ran a new best
60' 1.896 and a new best 1/4 13.007 @ 104.02

Third run I ran a I left @ 1800 bad light .352 http://www.northeastbracketracing.com/forums/images/smiles/redface.gif and spun the tires pretty good 13.575 @ 102.86.

Fourth run 1st elimination I dialed in @12.95 instead of 13.05 I was determined to get into the 12's. I also put the 6700 chip into the MSD 6al.
Left @ 3000 .262 light and shifted @ 6400 ran a 13.016 @ 105.34. I lost by .0543.

All in all I had fun. My friends had fun busting my chops and it was a
beautiful day.
Next time out I'm gonna play with the timing a little.
I'm also starting to wonder if I got all the head work I paid for http://www.northeastbracketracing.com/forums/images/smiles/doubt.gif

What was the grey smoke fuel?

It missed because I tried shifting at 6400 with the 6500 chip in the MSD al

Did it happed when you heard the miss.
Mike go to chat for a minute.

Almost there Tony. thats real respectable for a car you drove from NJ to CT.

And because it was supposed to rain all day I had to work on the honet do list. I figured that it would be a wash out like it normally is. It better not rain on Sunday, as I am planning an early trip down there.

Almost there Tony. thats real respectable for a car you drove from NJ to CT.

Thank you Adam, but if you pay for a Rolex a Timex is not exceptable.
All the work I have done to the car was supposed to bring me close to 11's.
I can't help feeling I was shctooped.
It could be me but before I fully except that I want my mechanics butt in the seat to prove it to me.

This is my losing 1st elimination run. Lost by a hole shot http://www.northeastbracketracing.com/forums/images/smiles/redface.gif
Thanks for linking me up Mikel
