2017 318 RACE !! .... please join the fun
So I've been able to take the car down on the track last Saturday to do quarter mile passes with the Slicks. Pass that I'm posting a time slip of for the quarter mile is just me and the car taking qualifying passes to qualify at for a passenger and later took my wife for several passes and picked up a tenth or two, but had way more fun with her in the car!! I'll post a time slip here that has quarter mile pass and the 8th mile that I took on Wednesday night (Wednesday night is 1/8th mile race for points and purse, Friday Saturday night is Just quarter mile run what you brung test and tune) the street tires I bought at the used tire place that where a little bit more performance oriented. I showed up late Wednesday night by myself with the street tires and drove down there and drove home 16 miles each way. I missed my first qualifying pass And you get three so on my first pass which was the second qualifying round I went through the water like of course I'm not supposed to with street tires but I really wanted to break these tires in good. Of course it was a crap show at the starting line. On my last qualifying pass which was my second pass I went around the water did the small burn out and it did okay obviously not as good as the slicks, but not the complete crap show either. It kind of got up and went after a small spin. That time slip is my first round pass and a very nice 66 year old lady in a white camaro beat me! we chatted for a while in line and her whole family races her sons all racing nice Ford cars. Obviously I could have won but my ego could not let me let off the gas!
Oh yeah and let's not forget here I'm supposed to be running something like a 12.9 - 12.7 in that area? It's been a lot of fun building the car in kind of aiming towards this race a bit too, but I'm so far on the bad end of a lot of things LOL maybe some cheating and some unseen shots and I mean big shots of nitrous I can get the job done LOL so I officially call myself in dead last for the 318 race of the people who have at least qualified though officially I believe?
