NVMC Drag Day April 12, 2014

I need better traction with sticky tires and better gears lol. Ran a 13.9 at 101

Looks like everyone had fun day!

Had a great time watching everyone. Nick, does your car have black wheels now? I think we chatted a bit but I cant put the face to the car?

Yes it does along with hood pins. I need to update my picture

I went to talk with Mike and Ryan. The next thing I know everyone was gone, the parking lot was empty. Anywho I went home and took a nap.

Ok, now I can put a face with the car.

Best time -- 12.5 @ 115. Need to work on that 60 ft. LCA/Relo Brackets are coming soon.

Good choice they really help alot!

I smell some 295's in the rear sometime soon as well

Very nice times and speed. Was wondering what are you running in the car?

Thanks!

I just swapped mufflers last night to GT500's. Corsa's were too obnoxious for me. And eventually throwing an off-road X-pipe on there.

Nice runs Chris!

I also will be looking into LCA's and relo brackets for mine. My car spun 1/2 way down the track. and as we all know "spinnin' ain't winnin'"

managed a new pb of 12.83 though.

We waited a while for you and seemed as if you just disappeared of the earth, but your car was still there. I tried calling you a few times and all I got was your voice mail. Also sent you a text letting you know exactly where we were.

But a nap would have been nice too. lol

Lower Control arms ftw! Pita to install,  at least on my car where the bolts have been seized on there for 22 years lol

James I am right with you on spinning! I think I am going to need a set of slicks soon.

Any suggestions on where to get a set of slicks from and a general ball park cost for them?

The corral.  With rims, at least 400

buy new..........if you race enough, they'll get plenty used up......all used race tires are always listed as "only did 8 passes at the track on them".......lol

Good to know

now that you mention it, I have seen a ton for sale with only 8 passes. lol

if anyone has pics/vids of that lime green '05 from the rental, I'd love to see them   

the track photographer has lots of pics up on his smugmug site (as a newb I cannot link it here - google 'B and B photography mason dixon' to find his page).

Thank you for that heads up, there are some very good photos from the race. Best best is do a search for N.V.M.C

Tom if I see any pics from MCOM or NVMC I will post them here for you
