Hopefully everything goes as planned. Tire/Wheel choice, the tune that Nick did with ramped in boost for traction, Boost by gear, and a little luck I will do well. We shall see. All these things I learned from the 1/2 mile event I went to in Ocala. I am sure I will need to tweak a few things. I am not expecting some crazy result right out the box. But I will take it if I get it.
|
I am sticking with my plan.... Fingers crossed.

I got a good laugh today picking up some Mt. Dews.
Older gentleman said, "Let's go line them up at the bridge". Me, Yeah, that thing is stupid. Older gentleman, " It sounded good. I could tell it wasn't stock". Me, It has 1004whp. Older Gentleman, "What did you say"? Me, I started laughing. "It has 1004hp at the wheel." Too dang funny. |
The wife and I are still laughing about that ^^^^^^^

Damnit, Rain chance just went up to 50% for Pocono. My event may get cancelled. WTF

Well, it was one heck of many issues to deal with. Trailer tire blowing, 5 new ones installed. Then a valve stem on an outside dually wheel blew, it was flat when I went to fill up. 2 hrs later. Roll racing was new to me so I took it slow. Traction out the wazo with the new wheels an tires. 140mph, 150mph, 160mph, 157mph, then the dreaded 147mph. I missed 5th. On the lap around the track the car temp gauge spiked. Limped it back to the pits, coolant had came out the coolant reservoir. I had noticed it earlier and thought I may have over filled it. NOT!!!! It appears I was pushing a little coolant on every high boost run. I developed a air pocket. Car over heated. Bleed the system back and and took it for a drive. Temps are fine. I didn't kill the motor but it got dang hot 268 deg. It will have to come back out sometime in the future. At the moment it will stay on low boost until then.

Sounds like a very eventful weekend. :tup: Glad the car's not hurt.
|
Glad you and the car made it through the weekend. Big learning experience I bet.

Dealing with new tune/setup, new tires, first time track—- man you did good. Shifting three times from start to finish. Don’t think our 3.692 final gears are ideal for roll racing events either. Just being able to run that beast WOT at those top speeds was cool to watch I might add. Tires held their grip on that track too. You’ll no doubt do better/be faster next go around. Chit happens but that’s racing. You left Poconos with a lot more knowledge about the car then when you entered…and that’s a good thing.
