Re: Free Dragracing tonight
Just got an email from one of the guys at the strip.
$7 Spectator
$10 pit entry
$10 entry for test & tune
If it were $5 or less, I'd be there a lot.. but $7 just seems too high. Oh well, I had fun when it was free.

In the past two years I think I had pulled perhaps one 60' that wasnt below 2 seconds, most of them around 1.7-1.8, however I just simply couldnt hook at all there. As for the 2nd gear miss, I believe my syncro is going out, it has been grinding really bad during downshifts lately, o well though, I think a single bajinxed shift was the least of my worries last night. Jeff I think ran a damn 8.1 if I was told right in his 240 with slicks on, marshall got like an 8.9, it was just bad. If you cant tell im still just urked about it all, I have been so looking forward to going to the track and getting a new time on my current setup since its changed so drastically, and then it turns out completely different from what I expected, just kinda urks/saddens me. I dont head to the track often for fear of breaking things, so I think next time I go will likely be MIR this summer, a track that should have good traction.

Re: Free Dragracing tonight
Yea dave, but Id be happy if I was spinning and still pulling 1.7's 
THAT I wouldnt mind, its when I spin and pull 2.5's that I get urked . After talking with dave it seems I was shorting my 1-2 shift pretty bad, I figured shifting early because of loss of traction would have been better, but everytime I'd hit 2nd gear, I'd have no boost, and would be at low rpms because of this. I think I'll have to try MIR later this summer.
