Famoso June 29, friday night 7pm

Thanks for posting the videos!

It was a real short night for the "trainman", I did my burnout, staged, launched with a 1.73 60' and when I put the clutch down to shift to 2nd gear the master cyl. broke off of the firewall and I had no clutch pedal.

I'm sorry to hear that, Jerry. Sounds like its time for a full hydraulics upgrade from Stinker.


It was hot and I ran slower than what I run in irwindale. My 1/8 at irwindale is between 8.9 to 9.2 and the fastest 1/8 at famoso was 9.3, 1/4 was 14.25 @ 101 mph. I need the drag radial.

What are your 60 ft times?. What was DA at the track?

Actually, it was the Master cylinder breaking off of the firewall, not the slave cyclinder. I just bought the JTS Venom clutch upgrade kit with a metal Master and Slave, so problem cured. As far as the Chevy Ass, I will see him again, and next time I will be in my truck......And I will probably turn on my Flashers in the burnout box....because thats as close as he will ever get:chain:

At 10 pm the DA was 2280. I usually have a 60' between 1.60 and 1.65, that night I had a 1.73 before breaking. My best is 1.57.
 
My truck is running like ****. Itll start hesitating at about 3000 rpms all the way through WOT. Its a intermittent problem only does it when its warm, specially with the A\C on. When I run it semi-cold 140-170 temp it runs perfect. Even rips the tires loose pretty good. It shows on my last track times. Lost a good half a second on my runs... im gonna have it diagnosed soon. Recommend anyone reasonably priced Jerry?

I actually let my wife run the truck and she ran a 14.2 haha not bad for a girl in a stock truck!

Everyone was running pretty slow. Even the new mustangs, camaros and srt8 challengers where in the 14s... a few broke into the 13s though!

Thanks for posting the videos. I can smell the rubber here!
 
Find out when the Chevy will be there. I'll go down and beat him in the QC just for you Trainman.
