I got a new best today at the Motorplex both N/A and N20.. My best N/A run was a 12.132@111.38mph 1.60 60ft 1/4 mile, and 7.702@89.22mph 1/8 mile... My best Nitrous pass was 11.221@121.23mph 1.51 60ft 1/4 mile, and 7.158@95.80mph 1/8 mile.. The car was running great all day long and very consistant.. I only made 2 N20 runs because they kicked me off the last one. The first pass on the N20 was a 11.301@120.94 1.55 60ft but they didn't say anything to me on that run about not having a cage, fire suit, etc, but on the 2nd run which was late at night he gave me hell about it. Like I said the car was running great but all good things have to come to an end.. The throw out bearing was making a little noise, but I didn't pay too much attention to it.. On the way home though it started to screem at me bad, so I new something was wrong, well I took the tranny out tonight to see what it was and that part that the throw out bearing slides on that holds the input shaft inplace, well it broke clean off.. I don't know if there is a transmission shop that is open on sunday where I can find one of those parts at for a TKO, But I need one bad if I am going to race at the cruise on Sunday.. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one ASAP let me know quickly..

The bearing retainer? Not sure where you could find one on a Sunday, but its a pretty common piece -- should be able to find it tomorrow pretty easily.

Yeah thats what I broke, the bearing retainer.. I'm going to try to find a steel one instead of the aluminum one that comes on them..

Nice times. What gear do you have? I know some guys go w/ 4.30's since you put down more torque the previous year 4v's. -Mark

I have 4.10's but I think they are hurting me on the N20.. I think I need to put my 3.73's back in..

Makes me want a Mach 1 even more....

I was cruising down the road in my GTO one day, and got thoroughly whooped by a Mach 1 ... Those suckers definitely scoot

I went even faster then those times this past Wednesday at out local 1/8th mile track.. Here are the slips.

Brains

Nice You're definitely stickin' it outta the hole, gotta love that 1.49 sixty!!

Yep that was my best 60ft ever.. Not to bad with a 5 speed.. I need a 28" tire and I think I can run some 10.99's in the 1/4 and a 6.99 or so in the 1/8th. I am having to shift to 4th right now in the 1/8th and I think it is killing my times.. I want to stay in 3rd in the 1/8th..
