Test n tune Sunday 15th

TRP rescheduled test n tune for Sunday. Anyone going to make it out there?

Hmmm...

Considering the OU men and women's basketball teams both lost and the weather should be nice, I might just do that.

I have a quest to get my stock car into the 12's David Leonard put racing brake fluid in my car today. That should be enough to make it into the 12's. Also got to ride in his car. That car is a bit of a monster. He said he's not going to the drags until he gets some DRs. If he does that, I bet he would be flirting with the 11's.

i wish i had some tires....or just tread on the ones i have now haha

not going to make tomorrow, you guys have fun, post up some new times and vids

Hey Steve, looking forward to you getting your car right and posting those 10's!

Probably wont be able to make, but the weather should be perfect

i like to see if the new throttle body helps me or hurt me. no check engine light on. i really don't feel any difference. she breaths louder a bit. might put the X pipe back on for the run.

Different platforms I know, but when I put a larger TB on mine, I mostly noticed an increase in throttle response. I can't say one way or the other if it helped me at the track.

no doubt man, brakes come in tomorrow, already drilled/tapped my stock fox spindles ready to bolt everything on, then have to get an alignment sometime this week in order to be able to track the car next week, have to find me a 1/2" spacer too for the front since the 1.75" bs skinnies wont clear still gotta have 2.25" bs so i guess i could sell them and get a 4" wheel instead but dont really wanna take a hit on my prostars that i have now, i guess i could sell them though get some new ones

The throttle body hurt me. i need to get a tune for it. i ran a 13.4 @105mph. i did better last year. these new tires scared me when i hit 2nd gear. Mucho (lots of) wheel spin and it kicked out a bit.
I got home and put the old throttle body back on and it ran so much better and the power came back. Man did i miss my OR/ X pipes. She's loud again.

It was a pretty smooth day at TRP. I can only recall one breakage that required any real downtime. Much better than the norm.

My best run of the day was a 12.05 @ 114.05. Had a couple of 12.2's also.

The most impressive thing I saw out there was a Jeep SRT8. It ran a 12.32 and a 12.26! Both runs were at 110 mph! Not sure if it had a bottle or what. I know they are pretty quick in stock form, but that was just rediculous. He was running those times on 20" street tires as well!

Yea, those srt8 repond to little mods pretty good. AWD ftw!

Cool guys. How many went today?

me. 1. uno.

Those SRT8 Jeeps are no joke! That one was modded Im sure, but very impressive.

Sorry you were having throttle body and tire trouble my mexican friend. Better luck next time.

Steve...get your shit running haha...I want to see 10s!

Tim... Great times as usuall. You are one consistant driver and that thing hauls the mail

wonder if it was the same Jeep that ran a 13.6 stock right in front of me at the midnights last year. a stock 300C ran a 13.8 right beside him the same race.
