Sunday was the local Mopar clubs track day, 'Mopar Sunday'.
It was an outstanding day. Very, very well organised. By the time I left, there'd been no major delays or hold ups on the track. Weather was outstanding, and the people were awesome. Met a bunch of amazing people.
Oh, and I ran my car.
Second time ever at the track, and first time with the new engine.
Had a ball. Comfortably managed four runs (in 2.5 hours), while also stopping to watch some other cars run. Never even opened the hood! Was just out having fun.
Anyway, I was scanning the slips for prosperity, and thought I may as well post one up.


I cannot give enough praise for the organisers, and the other racers that turned up!!!

I think he was trying to hit me with the broom!!!
In my defence, that was my worst reaction time. Of course, I'm not going to tell you that my best reaction time was a still dozing 0.915.
It was along the lines of:
"Yellow, yellow, yellow... should be leaving... oh look, it's green... Hey, it's still green... I should probably go now..."
Maybe that's why I enjoyed the day so much, I caught up on some much needed sleep!

Sounds like fun, get it to hook up and it could go almost a second quicker, based on that 114.68 mph.

Your making much more power than the et on that time slip. Like was already said....hook it up and I see about .5 to .6 improvement easily. Sounds like you had a great day though.

Considering my current combo, I was pretty happy with my ET, but was hoping for a little more in the MPH.
But yeah, had an awesome day. Just wish that they ran it more than once a year.

Good news is that my LM-1 didn't log the RPM with the A/F, so I'll have to take it out to a TnT soon for a real baseline run.

Or more, I got .7 on him with less mph and I know my car will go faster than the 11.93 it has.

Anyway keep at it and have fun (I need to follow my own advise it's been 3 years since I went )
