My first drag race. The weather at Rock Falls raceway started at 30f going up to 45f by the end of the runs. Wind was very slight. First two runs were at street boost setup @ 17psi with 92 street gas mixed with mostly 106 octane unleaded. After that I poured in 5 gallons of 119 octane leaded and turned up the boost to 24psi and leaned out the SAFC to about -20% across all the rpm ranges. Lowered my rear air pressure to 28 psi and my front to 30 psi. Set my AGX's to 4 in the front and 1 in the rear(read the dial wrong). I could not believe how much faster these cars are compared to most of the modified V8's out there. Overall, a fantastic experience. Only war wound was when I blew off my upper intercooler pipe... got a small dent on my hood. Learned a lot about how to launch and when to shift. My goal was 12.99 but I attained a 12.64! :-)

First run… 17psi boost. Mixed 92 with 106 unleaded race fuel. Missed 2nd gear.

4/8/00	9:34	0.993	1.768	5.363	8.321	13.003	104.980
Great launch giving me my best 60 ft time

4/8/00	10:09	1.020	2.139	5.796	9.812	19.234	42.530
Set boost to 22psi, mixed in 119 octane fuel. Blew off Upper IC pipe half way thru the run.

4/8/00	10.32	1.024	2.076	5.645	8.513	13.046	108.810
Bogged the launch, but got thru the gears good.

4/8/00	10:37	1.309	1.873	5.364	8.220	12.770	108.090
Another good run with a much better launch.

4/8/00	10:51	0.631	2.192	6.413	9.548	14.262	105.580
Bogged the launch and missed 2nd and 3rd gears both.

4/8/00	10:58	0.835	1.805	5.329	8.205	12.763	108.130
Good launch and hit all the gears… now to find my shift points.

4/8/00	11:05	0.708	2.038	5.522	8.387	12.930	108.140
Dropped the clutch and spun the tires on launch but got thru the gears well.

4/8/00	11:10	0.495	2.058	6.120	9.181	13.869	106.260
Red-lighted the launch, let the gears go too high to 6800rpm before shifting.

4/8/00	11:57	1.013	1.833	5.322	8.182	12.739	108.100
Launch technique down now, tweaked the shift points lower.

4/8/00	12:29	1.017	2.073	5.662	8.528	13.024	109.340
Missed 2nd, but somehow got my best mph.

4/8/00	12:45	0.753	1.805	5.309	8.172	12.728	108.130
Good run with a good R/T

4/8/00	1:01	0.524	2.026	5.621	9.032	13.969	102.060
Best reaction time, but missed 3rd by putting it in 5th. Doh!

4/8/00	1:29	0.707	1.803	5.482	8.385	12.949	108.570
Good launch, but ran the gears too far again. Need to shift at 6400.

4/8/00	1:34	0.890	1.824	5.391	8.258	12.798	108.680
Good launch and good run, still working the shift points.

4/8/00	1:41	0.665	1.788	5.261	8.097	12.640	108.010
2nd best 60ft and shifted at 6200 and got my best 1/4 time! :-)

4/8/00	2:27	0.662	1.906	5.459	8.330	12.884	108.030
Let out the clutch too fast. Gears were good to me though.

4/8/00	2:35	0.657	1.858	5.874	8.889	13.528	107.010
Good launch, missed 2nd.

4/8/00	2:40	0.691	1.870	5.380	8.237	12.777	108.350
Good run, shift points a little too high though.

4/8/00	2:50	1.045	1.810	5.330	8.195	12.774	106.450
Launch was fine, shift points seemed to be right on, track was warming up. Need FMIC.




My second drag race. The weather at Rock Falls raceway started at 40f going up to 45f by the end of the runs. Wind was 15 to 30mph. I poured in 5 gallons of 119 octane leaded and turned up the boost to 27psi and leaned out the SAFC to about -23% across all the rpm ranges. Lowered my rear air pressure to 18 psi and my front to 20 psi. Set my AGX's to 4 in the front and 8 in the rear. Strangely I lost reverse for the rest of the day but it came back after letting the car cool down for 5 hours. A few weeks after these runs I installed the RRE FMIC. Shooting for mid 12's next time!

Date	Time	R/T	60 ft	330	1/8	1/4	MPH
5/13/00	9:18	0.950	1.884	5.421	9.251	14.918	95.920
Missed third - grinded it for what seemed to be forever.

5/13/00	9:28	0.911	1.830	5.311	8.147	12.682	108.870
Best quarter of the day. Not the best 60ft though, 12.5's possible if I just get it altogether.

5/13/00	9:52	0.881	1.978	5.455	8.325	12.912	106.150
Tried higher rpm shift points… definitely not as good as 6200 or even 6000 rpm.

5/13/00	10:09	0.764	1.798	5.482	8.476	13.146	104.950
Good 60ft, but again shifted too high

5/13/00	10:25	0.804	1.951	5.658	8.599	13.228	107.140
Weird, brought the shift points down, got the mph up, but the time just wasn't good

5/13/00	11:05	0.759	1.854	5.461	8.385	12.965	108.090
Good run with better shift points but it seemed to bog a bit from 3rd to 4th

5/13/00	11:33	1.148	1.760	5.266	8.124	12.685	109.230
Great run… record 60ft.

5/13/00	12:12	0.631	1.919	5.532	8.399	12.962	109.460
Not the best launch but everything else was good. Record mph.

5/13/00	2:02	0.901	2.441	6.082	8.919	13.431	109.390
1st ever bracket. I wasn't asleep at the line, I was dead. Bogged the launch@2k rpm.



My third drag race. The weather at Rock Falls raceway 85 to 90 degrees and very humid. FMIC was installed, put in 5 gallons of 119 octane leaded. Lowered my rear air pressure to 18 psi and my front to 20 psi. Set my AGX's to 4 in the front and 8 in the rear. Removed the front headlight, removed the passenger and rear seats. I was determined to go below 12.5's. By the third run, my EGT's never got above 1400f so I still had a lot of room to gain power by leaning it out much more, but clutch/tranny problems prevented it. New clutch and rebuilt tranny here I come!

Date	Time	R/T	60 ft	330	1/8	1/4	MPH
6/10/00	10:00	0.565	2.066	5.709	8.789	13.460	103.920
Spun the tires, SAFC too rich, EGT's too low, boost too low at 20psi

6/10/00	11:15	0.727	2.128	5.868	8.896	13.542	104.330
Bogged the launch, Still too rich, EGT's too low, boost up to 22psi

6/10/00	11:33	0.948	1.734	5.289	8.242	13.018	99.340
Still too rich. 5500rpm launch. Tires must have finally warmed up… Best ever 60 ft.
Would have been a 12.7 run had it not been for the clutch going south and me letting off.
EGT's still only up to 1400f. Boost set to 23psi. A few more runs and I'd have gotten
it dialed into a 12.5 or better. Next time!!!
