so tonight was cruise night at E-Town in Old Bridge NJ tonight so i decided since admission and running the track was free id give my car a shot. we were only allowed to run once so i had to give it my best, ive never ran my car before, i got an obviously slow time at 17.3 @ 81.65 mph and beat a 2001 Accord CP 5MT in the process. he ran a 17.4 @80MPH. my reaction time wasnt to good at .969 but my launch was perfect, my car didnt bog down or nothing. and me like a moron ran the car with a full tank of gas. the weather was really hot and humid so most cars were running garbage times. so hopefully when fall comes around and the temperatures cool down and the humidity goes away i can break into the 16's. just thought id let you guys know how i did. i thought for my first time ever racing i did alright, but i have a lot to improve on.

 

Congrats - though in the racing world we're pretty much the shit-on-a-wall-during-a-blizzard slow types...

 

Damn that's slow.

Sure beats my car though. My car is stuck in time.

 

hey atleast you have a 5 speed...automtragic people have it worse...but hey practice makes perfect

 

yea no doubt it was slow. but like i said i have alot to improve on. and it wasnt drag racing weather, too goddamn humid, the turbo cars were running like shit in this weather.

 

speaking of which.. what's new with her?

 

and ya..gotta love our slow ass cars

 

i heard they finished machining the block and is soon ready to be assembled back together.

btw, i ran a 17.02 when i had my F22 auto. i used to like running against slower cars. it made me feel a whole lot better about myself.

 

i hope to soon move up in the world with a high 12 to low 13 sec car by next month.....

 

ghost, you're not 17 anymore, is today your b-day?

 

June 29th





i checked his profile

 

That's good. I used to go to the track all the time when I first got my car. I had a good time. Keep it up, it's definitely a fun hobby. You should try take your car to an auto-x session, I bet you'd get more of a thrill by doin that.

 

damn youngins

 

3.0>2.x

 

ur not that sneaky

and no...

 

lol

 

ghost what happened?cuz even with that humid weather/reaction i ran a 17 something in a saturn(modded 96 sl i/h/e)....did you drive her like a granny?you got e/i/h so

 

17 seconds sure makes me feel good....=)

 

it would make a granny with a walker feel good

 

i live my life a quarter mile at a time.

 

im very disappointed
you didnt call
me and persy would have def showed up
and yeah i would have smoke him

 

 

didn't even think of that,yeah ghost where's the love????hit me up when you guy's roll out!!!!

 

:ghey:

 

 

60 ft time?

why god why 17.3

 

yea btw is there anyway we can get a copy of the sheet?

 

my 60ft time was 2.599 and my 1/8 was 11.229 lol dont worry guys ill get better.

ill try, i dont have a digital camera so it might take some time, what you guys dont believe i ran that slow of a time??? lol

and sorry arber and percy, we'll def go on Aug 8, which is the next cruise night. i went with a shitload of dudes i know so it was kinda crazy. sorry i forgot about you guys.

 

dang you'd be in 16's for sure if you got that 60 ft. down

 

reaction time doesnt mean shit. It's all about that 0-60 foot time. Work on it and you can get in the 16's.

 

yea tru, im honestly not expecting much out of that motor right now. im in the process of saving up for an H22 or H23 motor, but im having so much trouble finding where to get one local. it shouldnt be this hard considering i live in NJ, but maybe im just not asking the right people.

 

dude that 60 foot time is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!

for the record, i ran a 16.5 w/ just a short ram intake and i thought that was terrible

 

your 60ft. was a?

 

2.5, i had to look it up


R/T... .106
60'... 2.502
330... 6.941
1/8... 10.650
MPH... 66.09
1000.. 13.857
1/4... 16.557
MPH... 83.34

 

so wait a sec.. both your 60 ft's were pretty much the same but you ran almost a whole second faster than he?

dang. Get back out there ghost!

 

dang... his 1/8th was 11.229... maybe he shifted too early before the 8th or something while yours was 10.6xx..

hmm.

 

or he was shifting too late, the f22 doesnt make power past 6100 so its worthless to shift past then

 

Try Engine Depot in Kearny, NJ for an H22 i know a couple guys over there

 

true true

 

WHat the fuck, did shinny change his name or some shit????
