ok i finally got the SS down the track last wednesday... I went to Norwalk (Summit Raceway) in Ohio... it was the hot norwalk nights.. so pretty much anyone could go... but i only got in 2 runs becuase there was like 150-200 cars there.. i got there about 6:30 and they closed the staging lanes at 7:30 and i only got one run in for that, then it went straight to classes.. and i was in truck and van (naturally) and surprisingly was the fastest truck there..
but first run.. 14.7 @ 94 mph with a 2.4 60' (i was nervous ok!!!!! :dielaugh
second run.. 14.5 @ 97 mph with a 2.2 60'...then i lost because the bastard next to me broke out.. he wrote on his window a 18.9 and dialed a 18.89 :hissy:
so that was it for me on the evening... but i was only launching it at 1000-1200 rpm because the SS' are notorious for slow launches.. they take too much time to build speed out the gates like that... once i hit about 35-45 mph i was really gettin thrown into my seat..so i will try aroun 2000 rpm next time around.. but i know she has got more in her because i have some "tweaks" done to the motor... i was hoping for like a 14.0 to a 14.2, but ill be going again for sure... and i would post a video but my girlfriend took it on her camera phone.. and yea we all know how those look :weird: so im not going to even bother.....
