Hey all,

Here's some pics and (hopefully) results from those who participated. Enjoy!


moforose3.0, 1genCL, & NOMAD



2 guys that work at Maryland Performance Center (sponsors of 75-80 Drag Way). This is where I get my N2O filled.



One of 1genCL's newest mods!



Another view



Another new mod for 1genCL!



NOMAD talking with rebeltruce (and his buddy)



1genCL exposes the trick to low ETs!



NOMAD's '97 2.2CL (ready to run 12s)! :P



q2slinger's '99 3.0CL



Speaking of which, here's q2slinger!



Here's moforose3.0 icin' down the 3.0



Yeah, that's me (wondering what the fuck this towel is doing on my intake manifold)!



Here's my time slip (2nd run) showing my 100+ mph.



Here's my best ET, ever!



I had a great time! It was good to see moforose3.0 (as well as the MD crew--1genCL & NOMAD). I enjoyed meeting q2slinger and rebeltruce. Hopefully, rebeltruce will race with us next time!

Excellent pics & times Dustbuster!

haiduc

thanks for the pics there rick.

i think that next time i'm gonna try and take the trip to either capitol or mason dixon (hagerstown)

BLACKOUTCL

what were everyone elses times?
1gencl, did the exhaust system lower your et's?

is anyone going to Nopi at Virginia Motorsports park next weekend? i know of at least 10 cars from this area going including myself

what do you guys pay for N2O up there?
they want to charge me 45 here for 10lbs

bryanz3.0cl

youd definately be in the 13's with headers, a little lower with cams and tbody. keep it up.

PiMpIn2.2CL

Rick.. great pics and congrats on the time! I also have a 2.2 and was wondering what mods NOMAD has that he runs 12's!!!!!!

dustbuster4

NOMAD didn't run 12s. The comment was just a stab at his hesitation to run last night!

BLACKOUTCL: I pay $4.00 per pound for N2O.

mantis23: Thanks!

1genCL: Yeah, I guess we'd get better ETs elsewhere. I'll try to become "Capitol compliant".

moforose3.0

it was a good time last night. I enjoyed seeing/meeting everyone, we need to do it again on a cooler night in a few weeks to see if we can get our times down and to see if Rick can break into the 13's with those new type-s cams he won off ebay Im hoping with the type-s throttle body I just won and on a cool night I will we hitting that 15.3 mark.

haiduc

BLACKOUTCL - yeah. the headers and exhaust did help a whole bunch, but i have black oil and dirty injectors to help slow me down.

on top of that my clutch is going to need replacement soon.

hopefully i can get my car into the mid 15's by summers end, with the mods that im gonna do.

BLACKOUTCL

sorry to hear that
good luck with your mods

i'm looking to break 15.0 when my 75 shot gets installed this week. i did major weight reduction the past two day and last night i beat a rsx non type s by 1/2 car length, so i think i'm in the 15's right now

fastvtecCL

good run dust !!! i told you you could hit 14.1 with all that heavy crap out of your car...

$4.00 per pound for N2O

moforose3.0

Is that expensive? What is a good price?

fastvtecCL

i pay $2.50 per pound

dcsquirm88

I pay the same the price in Miami as well. $25 to fill up a 10lbs. bottle.

Great runs everyone that went.

Rick great job on that 14.1. Won't be long now till you need to buy a helmet.

dustbuster4

Yeah, as soon as the cams come in (and I get the cam gear I'm missing), I'm going helmet shopping!

hornyleprechaun

Looks great...nice to see some more faces to the names...

q2slinger

I raced dustbuster the first time he hit 14.1. Not much of a race. After the N20 kicked in he was gone.

It was good meetin up with you guys.

Dustbusters HID lights are freakin unbelievable. I thought my PIAAs were bright. He was right behind me in line and turned em on.

AtlCl

Is everybody too ashamed to post their times ? (except for dust)

Jamz

Nice Track Meet gents
Rick, I see you put your 16's back on for the track. Do you think it helped getting your time down?

moforose3.0

Im ashamed but Ill post, I ran a 15.5. Im going to get a few more mods by the end of summer and then go down to capitol raceway on a cool fall night and hopefully hit 14's. I think it is possible

NOMAD

Not ashamed at all. I definitly need practice... It's not as easy as just mashing the gas...

I'll need a little more work done to the engine to get my times down but overall I can't complain for my first time.

Pretty basic 16.4 best time.

dustbuster4

Yeah, the combo of the stock (lighter) rims, and running 108 octane boost.

I don't think I'll get much more out of this setup (except maybe to run on a cooler evening).

I'm going to attempt to get the Type 'S' cams installed soon. This will get me into the 13s (then I'll look into a 100-shot).

I'm having a guy check out what can be done with our 3.0 trannys. If it costs less than $2000, I'm goning to do it. Otherwise, I'll wait for the 6-speed to become available.

I'm still waiting for a good price on headers!

q2slinger

I ran 15.6 and yes I have headers. Don't know what the hell happened. Wasn't my night.

joeshmoe

Nice runs guys. Hey racing IS a lot more than just mashing the gass. I wish I could have made it, but I hope to be there next time.

AtlCl

16.4 is not bad for a 2.2.

CLTypeR

Hey guys,

I wish I could've headed out with you guys. Had to run to Va Beach. What a f#$kin drive. Everyone is constantly on the brakes for no apparent reason. My tires are beyond black with brake dust now I'm interested in seeing what I can run w/o my headers and exhaust.

NOMAD

Really?
I feel like I should be able to beat that with a little driveway tuning. I need new plugs, wires, clean filter, cold air scoop into engine bay, Ice the intake tube, tune-up and valve job... maybe advance the timing a touch?

Also concentrating on launching properly and shifting faster.
I kept getting distracted by wierd stuff, partly cause I was unfamiliar with the procedures of the track...

Anyhow, I'll get better than that sometime.
