Just Got Back From the Track :-)
Sunday, October 08, 2006 7:31 PM
Well, I went to Rock Falls Raceway today with some friends and had a little fun. The last time I was at the track, I put down a 15.0 at 92.046 MPH. Since then, I put in a new motor with the secret cams, full exhaust and header, and the 2.6" s/c pulley. Here is my best run of the day. (I couldn't hook up in first gear at all and part way through second. I need to get some slicks)

Dial.... 14.50
R/T..... .220
60....... 2.235
330..... 6.163
1/8...... 9.370
MPH... 77.85
1000... 12.092
1/4...... 14.403
MPH... 97.59


My first run was a 15.1, and after that they were all in the 14's with the 14.4 being the best time I had. I also put down a run of 97.61 MPH, but only at 14.659. The 60' time was a 2.369 though because of bad hook up.

I think with alky injection and some drag slicks, I should be able to break in to the 13's. I raced with my buddy who has an '04 SRT-4 completely stock and he hit 13.8 at 101 MPH. I was pretty impressed. I hoped to come a little closer, but oh well. I beat one other SRT-4 there with slicks quite badly. He must not have known how to drive.

And does anyone on here know who has a blue '03-'05 Cav that is supercharged and intercooled?? He was only running like 15.5 and on the last run I saw I think he busted the differential on his car of burned up a clutch. They had to push him off the track. Never got a chance to talk to him. He had Minnesota plates, and I think they said BLWN 22 or someting like that. Just curious if anyone knows who that is.

Any questions or comments are welcome! Tell me what you guys think!

Maybe?

That looks pretty close to the one I saw. Didn't have those rims, and the hood had some black striping on it, but that could have been it. I wonder if that one is intercooled. If it is, I bet that is the one.

My original motor had 108K on it, and was feeling sluggish. So I put in a motor that only had 14K on it. I didn't build it up at all. Possibly that will happen next summer. But that is what I meant by a new motor.

Hope all goes well on getting your car fixed. I sure admire what you have done to it. It's a nice, clean car. Next time you go to Rock Falls, or anywhere else to race, let me know. It would be cool to meet up at the track sometime!

Yeah, it was definately a good time. I'm hoping with some better launches and with alky injection, I will break into the 13's, or at least come damn close.

Brian, it would be fun if some of us WI guys could get together and have a track day or something. Maybe we could plan something next summer.
