BFG 225/50/15 G-Force Drag Radials at 20# on 15 x 7 crosslaced wheels.

I also had TWO 2.001 prior to the 1.97 run.

EDIT! Although you know I have a 3.73 FDR, EP LSD, with an FD converter. Rodney is doing a great job on the tuning and it is all starting to come together. Small steps, but it's responding.

He claims it will run into the 13's on a stock, untouched 3500, and I'm starting to believe him.

I'll update that within the next couple days eric but I'm wondering what DA your running these times at? I mean you are in Canada. :crazy:

DA? I don't know what that is.

St Thomas Dragway

http://www.stthomasdragway.com

I can have Kerri post the slips. It was a nice cool evening and no humidity.

Just what the little bastard needed.

But if you have some reservations as to the validity I will get Kerri to post all 9 runs.

No problem.

Remember I'M the guy that asked you delete times I was not comfortable with, even though I had a time slip.

NO BS from me! I post the good and the bad. and thanx for doing this.



Thanx

Eric

Density Altitude buddy. I figured being a bracket racer you'd be all over that. I trust you, I was just wondering. The track I race at is near 1000' elevation so DA during the summer rarely drops below 1500'

Okay...the other post came out a garbled mess. I guess it didn't like the copy paste from Excel columns. Let's try this again.

Time 60 ft 330 ft 594 ft 1/8 ET 1/8 MPH 1/4 ET 1/4 MPH

18:57:32 2.0222 5.8701 8.4820 9.0650 77.18 14.0829 99.31

19:36:24 2.0081 5.8729 8.4858 9.0701 77.01 14.0932 99.30

21:47:50 2.0530 5.8990 8.5119 9.0959 77.05 14.1198 98.92
21:56:27 2.0499 5.8820 8.4851 9.0661 77.45 14.0691 99.58

I've been tracking all of the times in excel and have a couple of graph formats that I've been working on. Maybe some of you race officionado's that also know something about computers could give me some suggestions. Eric thinks it's cool...but has no idea what I'm doing with it...lol.

Okay...the system really doesn't like the spaces in there and isn't making it very legible. Sorry...I tried.

Ok I get it.

I don't know. St Thomas is ~600 ft and it was a cool evening with very low humidity so the conditions were about as good as it's going to get.

And it appears I was wrong! It's 1.98 NOT 1.97! DUH on me. I thought she said 1.97.

After a morning of meetings I needed a lunch time diversion so I thought I'd try and figure out the "DA" you were looking for. I found a website that would calculate it, then had to go searching for the information to input.

London...which is the closest somewhat major city to St. Thomas is at 875 ft

The weather information for London is at http://www.climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc. ... ata_e.html

Basically the temp at 9pm was 61.16* and the dew point temp was 48.02*

When it wanted an Altimeter setting I decided that I should get back to work and worry about figuring that out later...unless one of you guys who know what you're doing figures it out first.

Eric...you have the time slips!!

Well at least I'm in the Top Ten and it's a dead stock engine, LOL!

Having said that there is no provision as yet for Lil'Jon's new upcoming nitrous times, and Pat is not even listed, and both of those will be quicker than I will achieve, I don't care how good Rodney is! LOL!

And of course there are others who may have something to say about all of this before it's said and done. In fact I predict the Top Ten will all be Power Adder cars by Albany. :(

I will actually go out on a limb and state that Aaron's Number One position is likely in jeopardy.


But Thank You!! :good:

Updated.

Essentially Pat is on there. He just has yet to beat the time that car ran when Rex owned it. For everyone out there Pat owns rweatherford's car.

Not a huge deal but did you want to specify that my motor is a 3400/3500 so those know its 3500 heads and such. Not a biggie.

I will also say you can remove all the slower times the 96 ran and just keep the 13.511... Since I know thats all it can duplicate now. I'll never get that 13.996 again n/a. That will allow others to be in the top 10 since you have me down multiple times.

You can also remove the 75 shot run.

I'm going to leave it as is just so people can see what different combinations have ran. I think of it this way, theres only so many people ahead of you but each has ran a different combination before they got there best time. How about I add a seperate top 10 list? I'll throw that up later tonight. It will be in the same spreadsheet, just a different tab.

Don't forget Barry. 3500 5 speed

And I agree with keeping Jon's entries at least on the main list, however they should be dated.

Those are all milestones that should be noted!

EDIT!! Ok you're ahead of me on Barry. Sorry

I already am on there!

The 92.5 trap speed came with my 14.94 and 14.95 runs, but I did get a 93.6 trap the following year on a 15.0 or 15.1 run. I can find the time slip if you want it.
