FME Track Night at Milan Dragway 9-21-06

[MI2QWK4U]

This Thursday Night, 9-21-06, is the next to last FME exclusive night at Milan Dragway from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm. It is always a great time without the hassle of junker cars or ricers. Expect to make as many runs as your heart desires since the turnout is usually around 30-40 cars running!

Hope to see you there...

[Bradley G]

Have a great time Dave, tell us how you do!

[bigslim]

I may do it. I will have my new "Nittos" by then.

[STLR FN]

As we discussed Sat night Dave, put me down as a maybe.

[Meteorite]

I'm going to try to be there.

I want to find out if I gained anything from putting on the underdrive pulleys.:burnout:

[Hack Goby]

Im going to try to make this one even though Im a little under the weather right now.

[Dogzebra]

Hope to see you guys there!

[bigjohn]

I plan on going. Taking the Marauder to work and heading to Milan from there as soon as I get out. See you guys there.

[MikesMerc]

I'll be there too. I'll drive the Marauder to work and then straight to the track afterwards.

Did anybody run any decent times at Milan last night? I took 0.02 sec off my best time, and added 1mph (attributable to the Underdrive Pulleys) ... but I was having a very hard time getting traction. Usually, I get quicker and quicker as the temperature drops. Last night, I got worse and worse.

What about that car count?! I saw one car next to me with "231" marked on it. If that keeps up, it'll be like Yogi Berra said: No wonder nobody comes here; it's too crowded!

[STLR FN]

Well being my first time ever, I ran a 15.53 at 84.76 on the first run down to a 15.34 at 91.61 on my fith and last run. On the traction issue I defer to the more experienced racers but it didn't seem all that great to me but I was on street tires.

I came close to a new personal best with an 11.56 @ 119. If I had been more confident coming out of the hole and hit a better 60ft, a new record was right there for me.

After the sun went down, traction became a big issue, so I only had one good run:(

Oh well, next time out I'm going to have my "post break in" tune ready to go and that should put me into new territory. I should have had it done months ago but have been sidetracked with family commitments the last 2 months.

I saw that from the grandstands, Mike. It was a pretty run!

Did anyone see my best run?!

[Tyrone Minto]

It was a great time. My first time at the strip. Ran a 12.70 with the street tune. The race tune didn't help me improve cuz I smoked the tires. Looks like I need a few more tips from the Pros. Thanks guys for the help. It was a blast.

[MikesMerc]

It was good to see you out there Tyrone. Glad you had fun. A little more seat time and you'll be in the loooow 12s...or better.
