Street Legal Drags Fontana August 1st
 

This isn't on the event calendar but is anyone else going? I going with the Cobra. I want to see what I can run with the new suspension and my slicks.

:( I gotta work...

I'm pretty sure Sean said he was going out. I'll do my darnedest to get soembody out their with a camera.

I'm going to try to go I think. I'm thinking about getting there around 10. Leedom, do you want to let me borrow your popups?

Alright, I'm out for tomorrow. I have too much to do this weekend. Look for the thread for next month's meet tomorrow afternoon though :thumbs_up:

Too hot.

Dito....but you make sure to have fun and report back Ron :)

You guys missed out on one of the rare days when everyone decided to stay home. There were less than 200 car today and I got in 4 runs by 1:30 and that was with taking my time to ice the car down between runs.

The good news, I ran my fast MPH in the Cobra but I didn't beat my quickest time. On my first pass I ran an 11.922 at 119.34 which is my new MPH record. I spun out of the whole and only pulled a 1.824 60ft. Then the SC belt slipped in 2nd and 3rd. My next pass I hooked so I had a better 60ft of 1.742 but my time was an 11.950 at 115.81 because the I drove the car to the line. My 3rd pass was my best of the day with a 1.691 60ft and 11.873 at 118.94. Again the SC belt slipped but this time only in 3rd. My last pass of the day just sucked. I launched at 4500rpms and I heard a clunk and the car bogged. My 60ft was a 1.867 and I ran 12.161 at 117.82 but when I was slowing down I heard a humming noise that sounded like it was coming from the rearend. When I got home I checked the rearend and it was binding. I removed the driveshaft to see if it was the rearend or the trans and it was in the rearend so I pulled it apart and discovered this.

:bang:


At least I have a new fastest MPH. The Cobra is now almost as fast as the Chevelle is without nitrous. Not bad for a daily driver.

Congrats on the times - sorry about your rear end though :bang:

No worries, this one survived 160,000 miles of punishment. I'll call GTR Monday and see how much they want for one. Summit carries them for about $200 so if GTR doesn't have them I'll get it from Summit.
