Dang! Wish I knew in advance, I would've gone for sure! St. Thomas doesn't have the best prep, but it's usually pretty quiet, so you can get a bunch of runs in.

Maybe we can get a few Marauder together for a trip to the track, soon.

Lookinf forward to seeing your results...

I ended up in Cayuga (Toronto Motorsports Park) watching the Jet Funny cars and the Nitro Funny cars. Insane!

Are you going? The chance to race / meet with another Marauder or two would intice me out.

I'll be there unless our new baby (due date June 8) decides to be like his older brother and arrive 2 weeks early.

Is a helmet required at Sparta?

You won't need a helmet, unless you're in the 13's... Are you going in the day time (10-4), evening (6-10), or both?

I may show up, still undecided. I have some running around to do before a big AutoX Sunday, so I'll see, but having a few Marauders there would be cool.

Results: I am Car 165
Run 3 - loose shocks, hot motor, brake torque off the light.


Run 8 - my small (250mm wide) BBS wheels on the back, stock on front



Run 9 - half mix of 104 octane + Reinhart race tune + all four BBS wheels (285 rear weighing 48lbs each and 250mm front weighing 42lb each) Still cannot believe the MPH after only a 20min break with ice on intake.


Run 10 - Back up run for previous


I spun at every launch, with every tire I tried. The starting line was crap.
I will post some video footage soon.
Wes.

Any drag racers feel free to explain run # 9 , I am in disbelief.

[Smokie]

107 MPH on a 14.3 run.... I run 14.4 at about 98 MPH. maybe the weight difference, my 255's on stock wheels weigh a lot more than 45 lbs. Almost seems like a nitrous run, I have good friends that run nitrous between 12.6 and 13, They have trap speeds similar to yours. Congratulations.

[wesman]

The only thing I can think of is that the car in the next lane blew some debris across my timing lights. He has a trap of 108, and if you look at my 1/8mile traps, he was going 6mph faster. How could I all of the sudden make up that deficit after half track? It doesn't make sense.

[MERCMAN]

Just a quick hi-jack.

I will flying into Toronto on the 17th for a medical conference, I will be staying at the Intercontinental Toronto Centre. I would like to meet a few of our Northern brothers if possible. PM me or send me an e-mail

Now back to the topic at hand

[wesman]

I will be on the road to VIR in Virginia for a trackday, sorry to miss out Mercman!

[Smokie]

The rule of thumb that works for my car is: add 20-21 mph to my 1/8 mile speed and I have my trap speed. That would put your trap speed on that run at about 100 mph, whick I believe would be more consistent with your ET.

On the other hand, you have a timeslip ( so you are legit )
Post it on the timeslip page, that is one kick-ass trap speed, right up there with the big boys.
