I told Clint from ATS that I would support their event at Bandimere. What would the 03 date be for that?

 

[StakeMan]

Have you raced at this altitude before?

The track stinks for traction... ... .



I think it was July.



Heck we are also helping plan a diesel drag race up in the Pacific Nortwest, dates not confirmed yet, but it'll be at pacific raceways (SIR).

I didn't think the traction was bad.

Mike was running within . 01 of you and he didn't have slicks. I don't remember him complaining about traction.

 

[HVAC]

We haven't raced at an altitude higher then Vegas which is 3,000.

Twin turbos and a couple bottles of racing air should help:-laf :-laf



If anybody has any dates for drags or pulls then let us know on this thread. I'll slip it into the schedule at the top and we will maintain it as a master. I figure this sched is mostly for western events.

Slicks need a heck of a lot more tuning than 4wd, trust me we used to run in 4wd. In 4wd you have at least three tires turning, not two. As soon as we went to our home track we went 12. 5, at the same mph. 4wd is lot more forgiving, remember Mike was running 12. 8+ with the NOs, we where just diesel.



Most likely the track was in bad shape from the assortment of trucks that were using street tires or large truck tires, they actually pull rubber from the track. Let alone all the crap that was droppped on the track from the cement trucks!!!!.

Yup

Yup! Heheee... . we resemble that remark



Our best 60' is the 1. 7 we did on the last trip. It's tricky cause

you can light the tires if your not careful. Eric has run a 1. 6 in 4wd if I recall correctly. We have really had to work at getting off the line.

 

[DHRA]

1. 67 is my best 1. 68 is my usual. 4-link is the answer. Anyone know what 4 link Bully Dog is using on his '03? I saw it at PRI, Air bags! Sweet... .

You missed the Scheid Rally which is usually in mid August, unless you're not considering 1/8 miles.

 

[Brandon]

um... ... what about all the pullin... ...

 

[HVAC]

Talkin' 'Bout Chris Sutton? The "Red Express"?

We have five pulls down already, but I haven't received a schedule from Brian Massetti for next year. If the Mid Valley boys have a sched we could incorporate those dates.

[Rhondasway]

PNW drag

YES YES YES!! I'm planning to hit this track consistently next year as well as hit one major Diesel event out of the area; I would love to be able to attend a good diesel event so close to home, and I know several other guys who'd like to as well!Oo. Oo.
