No **** huh?



Damn...Good to hear he is ok.



All my friends that went to the track were DROOLING over his car...



I couldnt get them to shut up about it....it was funny...



I'm gonna call Dee tomorrow. I want to kick her into high gear and get the car done this week... I finally have the time to do it now..

 

My 6 puck should arrive tomorrow, Friday night it goes in and Sunday it's MIR. Any a you guys with hypothetical cars "in progress" showin' up? Bobby? NaughtyFD?

 

It is possible for me but a LONG shot. If I am able to get into the garage tonight and friday and all day saturday I may be on the road. I finally got the shifter mount the way I like it late last night now I need to weld up a tranny cooler mount and finish up the wiring for the line lock and the lockup switch for the trans but that should go pretty fast.



Then I need to remount the new bumper and I will be done but the car is looking kind of hooptie with the primer headlight covers and front bumper!!!

Missed the first elimination run, then ran an 12.1@114.2 for the first run on my brand new clutch.



Then 11.8@117.4 with a crappy 1.69 60" for the second run.



Then the car went to hell in the first round of eliminations, not that I could have run with the 10.1 Supra anyway.



Launched at 8,000 and fell flat right after launch. Same old problem, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. New coils, new coil harness, new plug wires, new plugs, every ground clean and tight, new hose job, all solenoids checked and some replaced. PITA!!!



Back to the drawing board. Somewhere a gremlin lurks. Crank sensor? Baked & ancient engine harness? Bad ECU? Arrggg!

 

Tom, You had a great day IMO! Look at your MPH. It was the highest it has ever been. Just got the little gremlin that lives in your car. Next weekend we will fix it.



Any how Great job!

 

very nice tom!



how much fuel did you have when you launched? you dont think its getting starved of fuel do you?

 

I had lots of fuel, too much actually, close to half a tank, and I upgraded my fuel pump over the winter. There is something else going on. Running 112 may have an effect since it burns slower but my first two runs I had no problems at all, except the driver.



My first elimination run (the other guy broke) I was focused on reving between 7,000 and 7,500 and it fell on its face. The next elimination run I was focused on 7,500 to 8,000 and it fell on its face. No misfires, no missing, no indication of a problem, reving up and down nicely, until I drop the clutch and then it just sits there.



Had the same problem last year, incuding the day I ran the 11.6. In my first elimination run (also hopeless against a Supra) it did the same damn thing.



Gotta sort this out.
