Bracket racing fun! 4.0L NA auto runs 1/8 mile in 9.335@74.93MPH!
I went out to Portland International Raceway today. I thought they were having the normal 1/4 mile drags, but it turns out they were having a high school drag night.... bracket racing in the 1/8 mile. So, I was put in the Alumni Fast category.
Qualifying runs:
R/T .202, 60' 2.159, 1/8 9.393 @ 74.78 MPH
R/T .163, 60' 2.169, 1/8 9.466 @ 74.17 MPH
R/T .081, 60' 2.188, 1/8 9.483 @ 74.20 MPH
R/T .002, 60' 2.140, 1/8 9.356 @ 74.98 MPH - fastest reaction time!
R/T .185, 60' 2.134, 1/8 9.351 @ 74.90 MPH
So, after a good discussion with a friendly lad at tech inspection, I dialed in a time of 9.34
Elimination runs:
R/T .353, 60' 2.173, 1/8 9.386 @ 74.92 MPH Win!
R/T .085, 60' 2.203, 1/8 9.503 @ 69.27 MPH Win! (Had to hit the brakes at the end of this run)
R/T .514, 60' 2.145, 1/8 9.349 @ 75.00 MPH Win!
Made it to the finals! Last elimination run and my best time of the night:
R/T .230, 60' 2.126, 1/8 9.335 @ 74.93 MPH Lost! Overshot my dial!
The car was running great and hooking up nicely. It feels much stronger with the new custom H-pipe. I can't wait to see what she'll do in the 1/4 mile!
Whatta blast!!

great job! i wish there was a drag strip that was close to salinas.

Thanks all!
Rygen... Upper and lower control arms are next on the list. I feel she could be hooking up just a bit better and they'll improve 60' times.
I'm going to try and get back there tonight for the 1/4 mile drags and see if a 14.6x is in 'er.
afixer... I know you've been so busy lately! I'm surprised you even have the time to stop in here every now and again!
Cayuse.... Nice! Let us know how it goes! Is the Madras strip and 1/8 or 1/4 mile?
Omer... what do you have planned for your suspension? Why the upgrade for Laguna? What type of track is it?

Madras is an 1/8th mile for "street legal" drag night. They have the capability of running 1/4, but only offer the 1/8th for fun night. For $5 for as many runs as you want, you can't beat it. Last week my buddies got to go over and over as fast as they could lap back around because there was hardly anyone there. They must have run 15 to 20 times! LOL! I was dying not to have taken my car!
