New England (official) Drag Race standings 2014

[Butters Stoch]

Pbonsalb 11.6 @ 133. He is not messing around today.
Competition is heavy tho, majority of cars have parachutes.

Nice! 60ft?

Butters Stoch did you put some serious power to the cryo axles yet?

[pbonsalb]

The cyro axles seem to be holding up. We are both running cyro diff input shafts and cyro M3 axles rebuilt by Butters.

Great 60' are hard to come by. I have done a couple in the 1.8 range, but am almost always in the 2.0 range.

The 133.12 was with a cool engine. I was surprised and doubt I will every do any better with this turbo. That run was actually an 11.76. I backed it up with the 11.67 at 131.87. Both were records for me, one for mph and one for trap. The funny thing is that on the 133 mph run, I got beat by a Fox body Mustang with a parachute on the back. He did 133.71 -- IN THE 1/8th -- and let off after that. I was a happy loser, though.

[cj.surr]

LOL, that happened to me before too. It's funny trying and failing to catch up to a car that's been coasting for 1/8mi.

These drag times look great! The BMWs in the lounge are significant works of art, speed and power!

After the temporary power steering fix at about noon time I was thinking of driving to NH to meet up at the track but I think I was just too excited to drive it!

[Butters Stoch]

in the lounge

If you only knew how it all started, id love to provide you with 30,000+ posts from all over the world to read. But pretty sure they are all locked up. And you wouldn't understand mostly any of it. ; )

[spenka]

I can't even imagine!

Alot of personal best broken this weekend.

[spenka]

I hope I can go on track Wednesday.
Although I'll be at the bottom of the standings list with about a 15sec of more time.
I've never drag raced on an official race track before.

No you wont, I've been lazy and haven't added the 2 stock 325's

[cj.surr]

What's the word on NED tomorrow? You guys gonna go if the rain holds out?

I think I would take my dad's car just to watch/hang out. I probably wouldn't take the bmw because I would need to drive to Boston afterwards to stock up on E85... It gets expensive after that.

[t94blackcoupe]

Ill be heading down tomorrow after work to watch.

You will run. You need things to break, I miss our 11 pm weekday repair secessions.

Maybe spenka can bring some spare e85 up on his way from CT.

I can check to see where sells it in ct or on the route if you want.

The rain better hold out!

[cj.surr]

They have some at the charlton rest stop on i90, as well as in northampton. Either of those on your way?

Yes it seems it's on my route. Ironically I pass it almost everyday. Do both eastbound and westbound Charlton service plaza have it? When passing westbound tonight I'll ask and if I had known earlier I would have check eastbound when passing.

[cj.surr]

I am certain eastbound has it. E85 locator tells me that westbound should also have it. Do you have 2 jerry cans or sealed buckets to carry it? I would need at least 10gal to be safe.

I have to check the Jerry cans

[spenka]

Let me know if you want me to get it for you.

I was just told all the service plazas sell e85 too.

[pbonsalb]

Right now, weather shows chance of rain in the afternoon for the dragway area, but sunny for the evening. This could change as the day goes on. Epping zip is 03042.

When would you be driving through? Need to make sure it doesn't rain. Do you have enough container to carry 10gal?

You will need 10 gallons ?
I only throw $20 in the tank, drive to the track , run, and drive home. That's @ $4 a gallon.

I am coming from 85mi away, and I only get 17mpg on the highway with e85. Even 10gal is stretching it. Maybe I would get 99.9 if I was on good ol pump.
