Buccaneer Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Is this track staying open all night, because the 14th is Saturday or did I miss something again... I may be going to Firebird this Friday night to run the car down the track and do some WOT data logging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ... Im really surprised at this group...I would like to go, but my kitchen pass is suspended for now, way to many honey-do's to get done before it gets hot!!!I went with Tom and Jim a few weeks ago, but they didn't run, so we just watched for ahwile.

anmracing2 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I hope Glenn's pass came out, I haven't looked at it or downloaded it yet. I probably won't get to it till Monday. Sorry..... I also got some good pix of other cars that are not Corvettes...... Huh, not Corvettes????? Man there musta been at least 166 cars out there. When we left they were still tech'ing cars in....... We would have stayed a little later but we have to work on Saturdays too....... At least I didn't go to work hungover this time........ First time this week.......LOL.It was definately awesome racing weather. It was great to see all of you. Man, I didn't realize it has been so long since we've been out with the ACE posse...... Yup, I said "posse"....Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ricmin Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I ran last night too. Here in Tucson. SLICK track for street tires. I actually ran quicker times in Denver, on runflats when the car was bone stock.I was spinning easily in 3rd. It was so slick, I watched a JR dragster spin tires at 200 ft out and turn into the wall.

Grayeagle Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I had to work Friday nite otherwise would have been there.On the plus side, since the storm rained dirt all over the car, I went to war with the water spotting it left etched into the paint.-oh boy- !!Tried out the new Meguire's Next gen wax .. after runnin the buffer all over the car with Scratch X .. still got some very faint ghosts of water spots but I dont wanna grind the paint anymore than I hafta.. and that new wax works very well.A bit more work to put on/take off than Adam's buttery wax .. but it leaves a bit smoother result ie: less cobwebbing/fine scratches visible.Even the wife noticed .. said 'We really need to get the Vette a new paint job' .. -grin--Frank an Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dvl4evr Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I would like to say that it was a good night, but the cool weather was the only good thing. The lines were rediculously long and my clutch was slipping. Also, wanted to ask you guys about an intermittent problem that I think was affecting my performance that night as well. My check engine light comes on & the code is for the air temp sensor. I have replaced the sensor & the code went away. But it will come back on if the car is running warm. Any thoughts?Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Guys Great pictures of the drags. I wish I had read these msgs and known that you all were going to the Firebird strip on Fri, as I went to speed world by myself on Sat. night --- first time at the strip. I didn't really know what to do and had trouble staging and getting off the line with the new C6 auto with the stock tires, and my best time was 13.4 at 108. I'd like to know if this is a simi decent time for a newby racer or really poor? Any comments? On that last (but best) pass I think I rolled through the starting lights with the breaks still on because as I put torque on the tranny the car edged forward as the lights went down and I didn't get the brakes off as fast as I mashed the gas. What should I be looking for in time and MPH with a stock C6 auto? Hawkeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
