2bseen Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Going for tnt this sunday, I have everything ready to go and try for 11s I am going to drive down (185 miles each way) and hopefully be about to drive back. My brother is hauling the firehawk so if it breaks I can tow it home. I think it will go low 12s to high 11s and I will push it to go 11s. I will try to video it so everyone can see what happens. Wish me luck.

zippy Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 good luck, that is one bright and quick truck. have fun if anything.
2bseen Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Posted January 23, 2005 Cant sleep waiting for the 7 am wake up, got the race gas and extra n2o bottle ready to go. I may break the trans but it want be the first time had it out 2 times already. I am going for the 11s, I will spray it 125 if I need too.
BenKey Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 That is the same 1/4 mile track I would have to go to. Good luck on the 11s. Hope you got a built tranny in there, if not, you may need one when you return. Who knows, you may get away with it - once.
mwalls54 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 well at least you have someone with a trailer to pull you back. Thats one reason the past 4 times i have went to the track i havn't ran any n2o. too scared the tranny wont hold and its a long walk for me back home lol
gomer Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 2bseen just dropped me off here at my house, he still has another 45mins or so before he'll be home. We had a very interesting day! He ended up having to "bribe" the track to let him run. They weren't going to open today because of the high winds, but he wasn't going all the way back home without running! After paying and undisclosed amount of cash, they let him run 3 times. One motor run and 2 nitrous runs. All three runs were on an unprepped track and the truck was spinning all four tires each time. That's probably why it didn't break anything I'll wait and let him post his times when he gets home.
2bseen Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Posted January 24, 2005 Well I made it home after driving 3 1/2 hrs each way, part of which was in the snow and ice. I get there and they tell us they are closed today, after a little talk with the owner I got to run 2 times with no clock or light and 3 times with no prep at all. The first timed run was with a 100 shot of gas it rans a 12.28 at 109mph and lots of spinning off the line. The 2nd run was same setup and I smoke the tires 2 times b/f I get to the line and still spin bad for about 12 ft and run 12.21 at 109.9 with a slow 1.74 60 ft. The 3rd run was all motor it still spin about 6 ft and runs a 13.46 at 97.4. So as of today I think this is the fastest n2o SS and fastest n/a in the usa. I didn't break anything so I am going to . I will be ready for 11s very soon.
BenKey Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Fastest for the site, maybe. Good times. With no lights or clock, how did you measure your times?
2bseen Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Posted January 24, 2005 Stock short block and they turned the lights and clock on after a little payment.
mwalls54 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 good times looks like i need to get back to the track.
GEAR M UP Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Nice run..... I cant wait to get to the track..
gomer Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Stock short block and they turned the lights and clock on after a little payment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I still may tell your wife how much you paid for those three timed runs Did you get a chance to pull the video of the runs off the camera? I have place to host them.
