it was the 10 5/8 track and he removed the reverse not sure of the skid too many people around it to see. the 05 rx-1 had the mono with more wheels

Well, another day at ESTA, some more personal best times, more room for improvement. Weather started out hazy and damp from the rain last night. Things improved as the day went on to mid 80's and low humidity. Quite windy to start which died down later.

Saturday, 8/20/05 Miller Lite Land Speed Nationals. Weather was hot, humid and windy. I can't wait till winter or fall.
I tried a setup from another member, to see how his setup worked. (remember, I can't do the tuning I used to do, and will go back to my faster setup next Saturday. I promised the user I would do this for him sometime this year. The bad part was the engine underrevved at 9,200, otherwise wouldn't have been a bad setup.)
I did some adjustments on the SRX, and made a pass. I still spun like a MF'er, and put it in the trailer. All the rain we got last week, and they had peelings lifting off of the track. Add the gravel dust, and spin.
SRX (reaction time .068) no bottle [lane 1]
1.483 60ft - 6.226 1/8mile @ 110.739mph - 9.910 1/4mile @ 129.516mph
1st time run RX1-different clutching (engagement 4,300)reaction time -.111 [lane 1]
1.509 60ft - 6.894 1/8mile @ 96.154mph - 11.150 1/4mile @ 112.188mph
2nd time run (reation time.075) [lane 2]
1.468 60ft - 6.893 1/8mile @ 94.914mph - 11.188 1/4mile @ 111.152mph

1.463 60ft - 6.845 1/8mile @ 95.659mph - 11.103 1/4mile @ 112.043mph
Won 1st round, double breakout
2nd round dial-in 11.10 (reaction time .149) [lane 2]
1.470 60ft - 6.864 1/8mile @ 95.552mph - 11.137 1/4mile @ 111.208mph
Lost 2nd round, and this really sucks. I was ahead of the guy, and tapped the brakes, everyone saw it. My skis were in front of his tire, the timeslip booth guy said, but I still lost. I ran .037 off of my dial, and the other guy ran .061 of his dial. I brought this up to other racers, and they said lane 2 was way off for them also. Take a look at the mph from the 2 lanes. I found out that the lights have been off as much as 3 feet between cones at the end of the track on a couple of races in the past. This is where the mph comes from. I have no words, except

That sucks Terry. My luck ended the second round yesterday. My last run I looked back at the end and the guy wasn't close so I just coasted, and still broke out. Turns out he never turned the fuel on and the sled died before the 1/8th. He coasted across the line running a 13.5 on a 9.5 and won. Oh well, I'll try it again next weekend.

Terry, I'll send you the clutching setup that I'm running this evening. Remember that I have the slightly different gearing in my warrior from your RX1.
EDIT: Ok, I was out working on the sled for tomorrow and never checked the clutching. I'll try again tomorrow.

Some great numbers with lots of street cars there taking off the traction. I was looking to get 10.7s, got 10.6s. Hmmm, maybe a 10.5 now???

Great job, that's whithout nitros or turbo? How did you manage that? I never got mine in the 10's and Terry's been at it for a couple of years and I don't think he got his times that low. What the scoop, suspension? What gearing are you running to get 118.44mph out of it?

Results from ESTA today. Sunny, temps were in the upper 80's and moderate humidity. Only a couple runs today and didn't make any changes. Things were kind of screwed up as we got a late start. 1/8 mile run, 1/4 mile run, then eliminations where I lost with a 10.82 on a 10.80 dial.
