I was there last Friday...had a great time, even though I wasn't able to seem to find 4th gear to easily...still managed 2 passes at 11.1x, double clutching the 3-4 shift in order to get it in gear.
I'd love to go again, but the car is going back in for some additional tuning.
I'll also have them look at the linkage...no grinding, so that's good news...maybe something in the shifter. I also will be heading to my beach house for the weekend. Have fun and be safe.
Be prepared for a track that hooks well...I cut a 1.54/60' with a relatively soft 5K rpm launch. They had the track prepped well.

I only hit 125 on my 11.19 run with the hurt clutch
missed 4th as well with a 1.74 60...at 6 psiI think I need to line up with pete as well, two of us dopes are running TT's on 6 speeds, but I think he's only running on DR's at least last time I saw him out hope he has some CCW's cuz he's got the power to use the drag pack for sure...
I picked up some 17 inch DR's but if I hit the corvette challenge its doin on the drag pack not DR's.

I was at 100.5x@1/8 on both runs and finished at 123.5x on both runs. I lost at least 0.2-0.3 seconds and probably 3-4 mph by having to re-clutch, back out into 3rd again and then re-shift. I don't know what the DA was that evening...but it was warm (mid-upper 70's) and fairly humid, so I'm guessing at least a +1000.
It's fast, Rich.

Yep...I guess you did. I was at 7.146 and 7.128 as my 1/8's for the 11.19 and 11.18 passes respectively.

Not too bad since your comparing an N/A car to a TT.

Oh...so I guess you're saying the old man can actually drive.
Thanks for the comment, though. I think it went fairly well considering it was my first time out...but that 3-4 shift was, to say the least, challenging.

Yea I got my CCW's but I still cant run full boost so ill be at 10psi and I got my cats on still. Im trying to get them off for friday and im trying to get the bigger fuel pump in for friday. If I can im shooting for single digits. Is their anything I could do to the car to lessen weight or get a better launch?

doubt youll see single digits at 10 psi i was on route to high 10's on a drag pack at 6psi. think you're gonna need more than 10 to see 9's. ps you get a rollbar and sfi flame jacket yet? they were hassling me last time on the track
