Well, it was Friday night and it's taken me this long to come down from it and do a post. Man, what a rush!! Here's my slips.
[attachmentid=19789]
First two were left lane and third was right lane (#4202). No training, no experience, no tips...even forgot to turn off TCS on run #2 but that turned out to be my best run. Stock everything except Bassani axleback and LCAs. 13.902 @ 101.30
Can't wait to do it again!
Sorry, no pics of cute AMSOIL babes!!

 

Great job, I know EXACTLY how it is to forget to turn off the TCS. It puts a downer in your burnout when you hit second gear and your car dies. I am jealous though, my first time to the drag strip was in my 66 mustang with a 351 2V engine and I ran a 16.06. Looks like you can drive your car as well as those doing it for quite some time.

 

Good job Daniel You are now hooked for life . . . . .

Very cool! The first time I took my car down the track was quite a rush for me too, and I'm doing it again next weekend.

 

I'm trying to add the file attachment like I always have but it's failing:

EDIT: Problem seem to be that the .jpg was larger than 1024

 

I thought about that but I'm a Team member and my limit is 1000K. Nevertheless, I resized it to 148K and still get the same error. Also turned off Windows Firewall just in case.

Here's a link for now...First quarter mile times.bmp

 

Well, there goes another one for being addicted! Here comes the modding. Great times! It is a downer when you don't turn off the TCS and it nearly stalls. Besides all the adrenaline flowing and everyone watching, your mind is out of focus.

 

Yeah but the run where I had TCS on was my best run. I guess if I had more wheel spin it would have been embarrasing...

 

What were you racing on that first run? A neon? lol (18.022)

 

Great strip times! My best run ever was in my '68 GTO (400 H.O, 4-speed, 3.55 gears at Fremont Raceway, circa 1979) still holds my 1/4 mile record time: 12.96 at 101.6 mph. Still can't understand why the speed wasn't higher but that car was crazy fast...although the GT is mighty close!

 

The TCS will take away from your time. With it off, it'll require more controlling of the car for better times. With it on, you'll get good times, but can only go so fast with the car controlling everything.

 

Nah, Neons were in the SC class (Sport Compact) and were faster than that. Some of those SC's were in the low 13's. I think it was a pickup (but not the one that ran a high 11!).

 

Thanks! Definitely hooked!!
Well, I think I found the problem. File size wasn't it. Image size was. Original image was 1275x965. Once I reduced it to 1024x775, the server accepted it, even at 100% quality (474K). It's currently at 70% quality which is 167K...

 

Nice job amigo!!!!! Oh, leave the amsoil chick pics to the pros....LOL

That was the original scan that I linked to. I had converted it to JPG and it was the JPG that it wouldn't accept (which was 1257x9??). After reducing it to 1024x7?? it uploaded. The DNS error message certainly didn't help. I think it assumed the file uploaded (which it didn't) and then the URL it fabricated for the upload was non-existant.

Thanks, John. I'll think about it! LOL
