Well it was perfect weather Friday night for racing, low 70's, and decent
humidity level.
I was hoping for a new personal best time, and also was supposed to dyno my
truck :)
To start with, the Dyno Jet didn't show up, ^%#$&^ Damn it!! Then, some
arse hole in a chevy decided to oil down the starting area!!! So traction
was terrible, I couldn't get out of the 2.05's for 60' times :(((normally in
the 1.90's) really sucked!! My ET really got hit hard, ran a 14.77,
14.81, and four 14.9x's !! I've run those times on radials previously.
What a terrible night!! I tried everything with the slicks, went from 18
psi, all the way down to 12 psi, tried launching at a lower rpm, didn't
matter, the track was just greasy.
ahhhh, damn! Oh well, next stop for the Y2K-HEMI, South Mountain Dragway!!!
