$45 bucks, gate at 8:30, I will be there with my other 3800SC buddy, a supra, Turbo LS!1, a redline stage2, and maybe a V8 or 2.

I might bring a trailer, and I am for sure bringing spare axles if I dont bring my trailer.

I am still planning on Saturday. I will be there early if so. Hope to see everyone there.

OoooOOoo... be sure to post times!

PROJECT 1986 GT Stormbringer

ill try to be the offical videographer, even though I dont have my good camera with me right now.

i am a member of the royal pontiac club ,my daughter and i will be going but my fiero will stay home( 87 2.5 5spd 223,000 miles too many miles to race) but i will have my white 86 grand prix and my daughters 90 turbo gp. my son has a soccer game so he won't be bringing his 86 se 3.1 5spd. everyone laughs because he never stops making runs, he usually makes 30-35 runs in the 3 hrs including the eliminations for our club.

I am all set to go tomorrow. Looks like it is going to be cool. Good for boosted cars! See everyone there. I hope to be there at about 9AM. Got my fingers crossed for 11s!

I'm in as long as I wake up. I hope to be there around 8:30. As long as I can hook up, I feel a 12-second timeslip is in my near future.

matt hope to see that 11 time slip! i wantid to go and wach but i might be takeing a trip down there next week and the fiero wont make it we need some videos!!!

I should be in bed.. i spent the whole night tuning, dialed my maf table in so good that I am just going to clear the fuel trims before every race (kidding).

I am bringing a few helmets, an axle, good for either side, a gas can to get either 100 or 110 octane, and my tuner, along with a huge box of tools.

If anyone needs anything, post here in the morning ill try to catch this window before I leave.

Back from the track. Here's my results in the order of my runs.

run#1
60ft---2.20
1/8---9.08
1/4---13.81
mph-102.27

run#2
60ft---2.08
1/8---8.88
1/4---13.59
mph-102.99

run#3
60ft---1.97
1/8---8.39
1/4---13.06
mph-106.40

run#4 (best of the day)
60ft---1.89
1/8---8.28
1/4---12.95
mph-106.13

run#5
60ft---1.91
1/8---8.31
1/4---13.00
mph-104.12

Run#6
60ft---2.02
1/8---8.75
1/4---13.45
mph-104.12

All in all, I was pretty pleased with my numbers. It was my first time at a dragstrip so it was a really fun learning experience. I was really happy that I was able to break into the 12's! I had pretty bad traction issues. I just need to learn how to work the throttle better. I have to keep practicing to cut my 60ft's down into the 1.7's. Even on my best run of the day I could still feel quite a bit of wheel slippage, and that's with 245's on the rear!

There was a pretty good Fiero turnout. DarkHorizon and his friend was there along with Matt Hawkins. All in all, there were four Fiero's that all ran in the 12's ( and one in the 11's) So we represented well. Alot of people were talking about us.

Unfortunately DarkHorizon's friend blew his differential to pieces on a burnout and had to get towed home, and DarkHorizon lost his keys and had to tear apart the steering column to get it running again, but in true hot-rodder style, he got it up and running and got two or three more 1/4mile passes.

I was happy with my performance. I ran:

60ft - 1.90
1/8 - 7.74
1/8 mph - 96.38
1/4 - 11.92
1/4 mph - 118.07

There is plenty left in the car looking at the 60 ft time, but I came and went in one piece. Wheel hop is dangerous at this power level. Diff go boom. Either way, I am happy that I finally go the 11s slip. I will consider it an early Birthday present since my big day is coming up on Monday.

It was nice meeting everyone and I hope next time we can get more people out.

ill post up my slips here later today, my best time was very very close to akursed, with a 1.8 60' 106 trap and a 12.89.

so where a the pics and or videos?

sweeeet! how can you make the wheel hop go away?

nobody had cameras... My 2 friends forgot theirs...

Wheel hop was bad that day, seems the track had some un-even rubber laid down in the 60'. We all complained of it, but I dont think it really hurt anyone that bad, I ran my 12.8 when I wheel hopped really bad. My first run, I actually played it easy, and I got a bit sideways spinning the tires, and still ran a 14. So that goes to show how inconstant the track was for the first few passes.

I dont think we could of asked for a better day, weather wise.
