Be glad to know I'm doing MUCH better at the track.

First run of the night happened to be my best.
And here it is:

R/T: .673
60' 2.089
330: 5.947
1/8: 9.086@78.23MPH
1000: 11.757
1/4: 13.975@101.97

Almost busted 102MPH there
very close.

Also got to join the 100MPH club
Woo!
got a sticker



Also decided to not give nhdungeonracer any more wins.
So, I gave him a nice view of my tailights after spinnin horribly off the line thru first and second gear.

Had a fun night, was so excited when I broke 13's
AND I only missed third ONCE today!!
New Record!
Next time I go though, I'm definatly trying 5th gear.
I also tried switchin gears at around 5500 rpms instead of 5000.
Seemed to have done a better job.
Anyways,
WATCH OUT ROUNDMAN!
I'm gonna beatcha!

Edit: Oh, and I almost beat an STi today too! I ran a 14.0 while the STi ran a 13 somethin.
He couldnt shake me at all, I was at his rear fender the whole race and slowly gaining.
He finished at 96mph I finished at 101mph

 

The kid is getting better, no doubt to that.
I knew one one of these times he was gonna get sick of my tailllights
Looks like I'm back to being one of the slower Stangs again [:'(], Although I did my best as well

14.656 @ 94.49

 

Guess it's time to change your sig then eh? [sm=smiley20.gif]
And you KNOW you want to come back up next wednesday!
Cmon!
I gotta brag to someone on the forums

 

Got a pretty quick car there, Obsel3te! Dickie is no slug either!

Norman

 

Heh, Dickie just knows how to drive.
Which I know very little about

 

Glad to hear your doing well at the track. Finally broke the 14's...Glad to hear those mods are paying off for ya!

 

See, I told you if you quit missing 3rd gear you could run a better number!
Guess you finally found a way around that "hump" in your shifter! LOL
Welcome to the 13 second club even if you did just barely make it! LOL
Once you get some slicks you can probably get that 60' time down to less than 2 secs and your overall ET will improve a bunch! You're only .422 seconds behind my best so far, so there is some hope, although slim, for you yet!
I assume the air conditions were better this night than the previous times as nhdungeon also ran his best numbers too! Or maybe the track was warmer and the traction was better? Y'all have to be the judges on this factor. Then again, it could be your both are gaining confidence in your abilities to drive a car on the strip!
Anyway, good job for both of you guys!
I'M STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO BRING IT ON!

Temp was in the low 70's around 6 pm when we ran our best times. Starting area was in the sun all day, and was good and sticky for the 1st few runs. As the night went along, starting area got slick, and times went up...way up. My last run (at 8:37) was a 15.4, with lots of spinning of the line. That discouraged me enough that I went home [:'(]

So Norman, glad you could join us here. You must have gotten your wife's "to do" list pretty well knocked down if you have time to come here [] Now you better get practiced up for tomorrow night when the HOST racers invade your garage I think it's time I bring that trophy back to Canterbury

You and OB now have to get together and race. That'd be a neat pic, a couple of black fox-bodied GT's battling it out. Just get OB nervous, and you'll beat him. He likes to miss gears [sm=smiley8.gif]

 

Heheh, I'm getting over that nervousness thing[sm=smiley16.gif]

There's still room for improvement though. So like I said before, IM COMN FOR YA ROUNDMAN!

 

No, I put off the "Honey Do" list until today, been busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger I tell ya!

Think I'd be eatin' Obsol3te's dust!

Beat me on my home track? Ya right!! []

Norman
