Anyone going up to the drags on Saturday night?

For no other reason other than pure stupidity we plan to run our Time Attack car at the drags this Saturday..

If nothing else it could be a spectacular break for our car be it either axles or motor, the reason I say motor is in part why we are running. Earlier this week I was doing some testing on the car finishing up around 11pm, I decided to come in early and complete my testing the next morning. I was running the car at 25psi for these tests and with nothing changed the first run the next morning yielded over 40psi of boost. So now with a motor down in excess of 10% we decided that seeing as we're removing the motor on Sunday anyway to prep for an event next month we might as well see what she'll do at the drags.

If your in the Sac area and bored come out and hang out.

wish we could join you...I imagine it might be a spectacular showdown OR breakdown...either way it should be fun doing it!

LOL

hell yea! that should be cool, maybe i'll finish up the working on the truck and head that way with some ppl.

 

haha this should be good. Video please!!!

Man... I would hella meet you guys out there, but I'll be in the bay doing the SFR SCCA Divisional Series.

 

i might just go see the gst car blow up

caravan???

 

Wow such faith

Mind you if I posted the leakdown numbers for the motor after over a year of damn hard track usage as well as not just this past overboost but several over the past year while we worked on a reliable boost control method you might well be totally justified

Let's start a pool for the person that guesses the closest quarter-mile time. That'll be fun.

 

I predict 10s...

 

I wish, might be hard to do given that we have nothing else to fit on the car other than 275/35/18 slicks. We're going to have to go easy on the launch or the axles will be no more.

Mike

 

What does the timer precise to? 1000th of a second?

I predict 10.248. <--- random guess, have no clue what it runs.

 

Wow, seriously though this is a tired motor we're pushing on it's last legs. I'll be happy if it gets off the trailor at the track

Mike

 

Fine, fine, I'll add a second to that, so 11.248. I mean... you guys are probably going to run faster than "Mr. 11.7 on a stock turbo." You'll be 1000lbs lighter than him.

 

Well there is a significant difference between Seans awesome time on a stock snail than whatever we manage with our TA car.

I wish we were 1000lbs lighter than a STI, we're 2850lbs with driver.

If its that is the case 13s trapping at 130mph =)
