Tri-state 10/18/08 - 1:00-5:00

[redfirepearlgt]

Heading to tristate for a little fun Saturday. Open invite to any who would like to join. Will be a bit cooler, but suppose to be a clear day. See you there. Not many weeks of fun time left. Soon the snow tires will need to go on.

[YouGotJunk]

I'm going to try to be there. Hoping for some 9.90's if luck goes my way. We'll wait and see...

[PKFIRE]

It's suppose to be in the late 50's! Hmm???? Maybe I should try the slicks out for the first time Saturday or maybe just wait for the 25.

[redfirepearlgt]

If anyone posting comes out and needs an extra hand with anything feel free to ask. Glad to help. I only plan on making two-three passes. Gonna try my old Nitto DR's on the car.

[adragon72]

[Jeff88coupe]

I'm planning on going if I get my ignition bug worked out of the car tonight. I'm pretty sure swapping back to a hotter set of plugs should fix it.

[Timido]

I just found some more nitrous jets too!

[redfirepearlgt]

THanks for letting me hang with. Had a good time. Appreciate the conversation. Hope to see you all again sometime.

[Timido]

I found out today that a 150 shot off the brake gets me a big wheelie. Anyone have a picture of that launch?

Good to meet you Chad and nice talking to you!


Craig

[jlt2006]

Nice meeting you today Chad. It was good to see everyone.

[JASON408]

it looked like this for about half a second followed by the oil pan boucing off the ground :eek: O SHIT BUTTON is a mans best friend

[kennebellcobra]

it looked like this for about half a second

It may have been that high but it was'nt that straight:lol: I think it came down a little harder too;)

[12seclx]

That looks like one hell of a scary ride...:eek:

[IWRBB]

I watched that from the staging lanes. I was glad I was in the right lane, it was definitely hooking towards the middle of the day.

There was a string of breakage like I've never seen down there. I think I figured out if you show up about an hour and a half after they start running, the cars that are going to break have already broken and it pretty much rolls non-stop after that. Getting there when they start running ensures you are stuck waiting while everything breaks and oils down the track for the fist 90 minutes.

[IWRBB]

Jason, I was just talking to my friend who was there yesterday with me. He got your wheel stand launch on video. I'll get a copy of it and upload it.

[Timido]

Please get that video!

[IWRBB]

I got a copy of it. It isn't the greatest though, he lost the car for a split second when he tried to zoom out. He was kinda messing around with the camera and just happened to catch your launch. He missed my best run altogether- something about it not recording :rolleyes:

[Timido]

Cool stuff.

[Jeff88coupe]

Not to bad of a day at tristate on saturday...ran a new best n/a of a 10.88 at 125. Air was pretty good at the start. I just couldn't get the car to hook decent on the spray at all.

[VuNiT3]

Tri State was a lot of fun Saturday. Too bad I pretty much destroyed the tires on the truck doing that 1/8 mile burnout. :lol: I got a new time in the truck too, 14.68. I'm sure with the stock tires back on, it will pick up some speed too.

[IWRBB]

I found out today that a 150 shot off the brake gets me a big wheelie. Anyone have a picture of that launch?

Again, there video kinda sucks since he moved the camera as he zoomed out. Rookie cameraman.

Do a saveas so it will play smooth, I could give a crap about the bandwidth.
Launch Vid (http://www.reckless-op.com/videos/MOV001.mpg)


Here are two of my runs, just to burn some more bandwidth. No wheelstands, sorry.

The first pass I spun though 1st and 2nd and ran a 12.20 something. Slightly better camera work though. Nice 05 in the vid, that ran a 13.77 @ 103.15.
12.20/121 (http://www.reckless-op.com/videos/MOV002.mpg)

Better launch, good MPH 11.70 run, better camera work too.
11.699/124.36 (http://www.reckless-op.com/videos/MOV003.mpg) Another nice Mutang in the vid again, black SN95 vert.

[Timido]
