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?

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

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.




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

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.
