Thread: So Close....... But...

Tweet

We spent this past Sunday at the Nostalgia Drags at New England Dragway in Epping, N.H.. I managed to get in two complete passes, each one better than the previous one. I was trying to upgrade my license from a class "c" which is good down to 8.0, to a class "b" which is actually a Top Sportsman license. I needed tow passes better than 8.0 and missed it by 9 hundredths.

The first pass was an 8.05 at 170 and the second pass was a 8.00 at 172.98. So close, but yet so far away. Maybe next time?

They'll come Mike! Sounds like the new tuner has it running strong!

He actually drove all the way from Fredricksburg, VA to the track to lend a hand. It sure was worth the trip, he was awesome!

congrats on the great runs. I am sure that you will get the time you want on your next runs.

darn close... you'll get it soon!

I see 7's in your future.

Wow!!! Great to have a guy that talented turning wrenches!!! How's the nitrous working this year and what kind of system and timers are you using now???? We've got an IHRA track here now, thinking about giving it a try.....

The nitrous works flawlessly now. We eliminated all the past electrical misery we have had since putting the car together by installing a complete wiring harness from Spaghetti Menders http://www.racewiring.com . We were using a two stage timer along with a rack of relays. This kit uses a Digiset timer that is so simple to use, it's a crime. Check out their web site and you'll be amazed at the simplicity. I removed a total of 17lbs of old wiring, and replaced it with the 6lbs that his kit weighs. Using that kit also allowed me to remove the second battery and cables that we had in there, another 50lbs gone in an instant.

Want to watch a couple of video's? We were using two different video camera's Sunday, these two clips were from one of them.

Thanks Mike, looks like some very nice stuff, and simple enough to operate that even an old Norwegian might be able to handle it!!!!!
