Fast Friday 4/11 @ Ennis
 

Hey guys racing starts at seven are any of you going to be out there? Hit me up or look for the white stallion lol

I'll be there. Red 5.0

Cool baca see u there! Who else is coming?

Nope. Not this week. Other plans :D

I will make it out there though to get some baseline runs.

I don't want to drive an hour and a half to have my clutch let go out there lol. New clutch goes in wed. I may go to coit tonight though.

Is there anyone gonna be here tonight that I can bum a sticker off of? Ill even buy you a cold Tacate!

There will be a good turn out for the Mustangs tonight I'm sure. The "fast" crowd won't be there because of an event elsewhere this weekend.

Fast Friday 4/11 @ Ennis
 

TI? I know a bunch of my buddies are down here for that.

My problem is by this time on Fridays I start to want to have a drink and I typically give in before I end up going out to do car stuff.

Yep. I'll be out there tomorrow for KOTS and 6spd Challenge.

I missed my chance this year. Hopefully I'll have my setup done and can/will go next year.

Your car is better suited for the RR event. Respectfully, TI is a waste of your time if you aren't making at least 1000rw+

Yea That's true. I'm looking at swapping motors and power adders this winter so hopefully I'll be able to play next year. The RR event is something I'm also looking into. The streetcar challenge is coming to okc in June so I'm def gonna get in on this.

Be sure to have your cooling mods! A runaway event in the heat would be TOUGH on the motor. There is another runway event July in Austin. Talk about crazy!

Track conditions pretty bad tonight

Track conditions were pretty good to me. My friends 3v with a tune/intake went 13.3 with a 1.99 60ft and my car hooked a 150shot about 10ft off the line with no suspension mods and just a good drag radial.

I had prob 10ppl out there say that were slipping mostly in 2nd including myself. I was on street tires but one of those ppl being Bacadiesel said it felt dangerious at one point. My stang is stock and the best run I had was 13.1 wasnt very impressed. I ran a high 12 two weeks ago same track.

Idk what's going on, my 5.0 ran a 13.0 at 115mph. Could not break into the 12's. Intake, tune, headers, off road x and exhaust cams. Maybe I just suck at driving

I saw a lot of fairly high powered manual trans cars on street tires. You can only expect so much out of a street tire. I've had nights where I couldn't shift a manual trans car on street tires at all without blowing the tires off and could hop in a auto car similar power and tires and not have an issue.

You have the mod list and mph to run high 11s. Driver mod is always needed but a real wheel and tire combo will make things much easier.

well I know how to drive and based off experience @ the same track running 12.4's in my 2011 on the stock tires and running high 12's in my 2014 I still thought the track was inconsistent.

I don't see anything about suspension and tires? Have you got anything there?

Naw, the 14s are just slower. :boxed:

I got Michelin pilot super sports 285/35/20. I also have relocation brackets and upper and lower control arms.

Tell me more. What brackets, what hole they are in, bracket for the upper with more than one hole? What springs, shocks/struts.

You're fighting it with that tire though. Not going to hook a totally stock car, adding power just made it worse.

Stock shocks, lowered 1.5 all around on sr springs, have not cut bump stops, j&m lower control arms, bmr upper control arm and mount, bmr relocation brackets, j&m panhard.

Relocation brackets are in middle setting. My best 60' was 2.13 but I actually thought that was going to be my worst one because I spun really hard. The other times were 2.22 or so but coming off idle.

Those springs and bumpstops aren't helping for sure. Shocks/struts would be nice to have. The rest looks OK I think. Really it comes down to what you want to do with the car. You've got some parts that just aren't conducive to getting it down the track. Any time you compromise so you can do more than one thing with the car, it's just that, a compromise. With the right suspension and tires there's no reason the car can't easily run 11s, but that maybe isn't what you want to do with the car.
