[Ninja Performance]

What did people run??

[jrod]

I made a thread on 3si but it got hacked.

Dave Broomfield went 10.8 & 10.5 then broke and had to run fwd. Best mph was 136.

Ray fought issues all week. Clutch was not fully disengaging and would not allow it to shift. Then he boost controller took a shit. But he went 11.0 at 133 on 12psi. Not to bad lol.

Bill buell broke two drive shafts this week, best et was low 11's

Von Morgan broke a ds as well

Maddog car ran well into the mid 11's

The car that won the drags was a dr800 car that was running low 11's all
Night. I forgot the guys name.

The night also claimed a 6speed trans out of a 99 vr4.

[FeaRpb]

I wonder whats up with all the DS breaking.

[Ninja Performance]

Damn, what does broomfield have mod wise? Nice numbers!

-Chris

[FeaRpb]

I think Stroker and 5857s?

[dpartinvr4]

I wonder whats up with all the DS breaking.

it's probably because if was a freshly redone track, and they were hooking up a lot better than they normally would.

[FeaRpb]

Kinda making me rethink the CFDS

[Keyan]

I think Stroker and 5857s?

This.

[Sin'sVr4]

[Chris GTO TT]

All I know is my ears are still ringing from Ray's car popping an IC pipe off right next to me when I was taking pics right by the start line.

^ That was on the rev limiter for the last 100 feet too, 1.545 60ft, 3rd run was going to be better than that till the AWD switch under the dash turned off.

The car that won the drags was a dr800 car that was running low 11's all

The guy's name was Scott Johnson, I believe. I was just coming off the track and didn't see the finals, so I couldn't even tell you what his car looks like.

:lol:

time to switch to a 6-speed? :suspect:

[Broomfield Racing]

Nope just learn to raise the rev limiter before running...totally forgot about it...it was at like 7500. I can go way higher.

He has the checkered VR4 with a 99 front.

[tabasco122]

Still dissapointed I was the only one in the other category...

[Lori]

First, we'll get results posted just as soon as I can see straight. I came back pretty sick, so I need to get some rest. I'm also trying to work on tracks for next year.

Second, the categories for next year will change. No worries about being the only one in a category anymore, or not being competitive. We have a solution, now we just need to fully outline it and execute it. Look for some BIG changes for NG12! Can't wait to get started!! I'm so excited after this year. I honestly had soooo much fun. I just want next year to get here already!

[rdmelton]

Lori, do you want me to post the powerpoint slides from the banquet? That has the results for all events. Any recommendations on where to put it? New thread?

[j2k4]

I. Will. Be. There.

I havent yet, I just got home this morning...drove till 12:30am last night and was falling asleep at the wheel when I got to Hartford CT...slept a few hours at a rest stop and finished this morning.

Ill pull it apart tonight unless something else comes up.

I hope you arent thinking bracket racing Lori :(

[Lori]

I think that would be fantastic, Bob!! A new thread would probably be good. Thanks!

[bridge]

ginger change your car color and get some sleep

Dont worry I slept 4 hours last night for the 3rd night in a row LOL.

[Alan92RTTT]

Bob email it to me and I can put it on the NG site and link it from there.

Same here :lo5l: I should have went to sleep early last night but didn't. I'm dieing today.

[JasonY]

I was running upper 13's and even a 14.1....LOL My launch > RPS

On the rev limiter in 3rd with a 101 trap and 1.89 60's pedaling a slipping clutch are the fail.

Still a ton of fun..haha

simple. no 1 and only 1 FWD category. clearly, the fwd tt's aren't showing up--so just make it one category.

p.s.
that's the best i can do for you, jomojr. ;)

And a busted turbo housing (which apparently stayed together?). Come back next year with some intact turbos and a good clutch and see if you can make some better passes.


Bob email it to me and I can put it on the NG site and link it from there.

The file is on my home computer, so I'll send it tonight.

[Emilie@GZP]

Some videos Hans and I shot of our yellow VR4 and our customers Spyder running.

[rdmelton]

Bob email it to me and I can put it on the NG site and link it from there.

I tried to send it but it was too large (150 MB!) because of all of the hi-res pics. I split it into two files and I am (slowly) uploading it to a sky drive. I'll see if it's done in the morning.

[JasonY]

I'll be in the 11's next year maybe 10's, can the bench racing begin yet?

:D

Jason


Yes, it can!

[JasonY]

If i can squeeze the power/weight Todds car on DR750's made around 24-25psi from my 19T's i will go tens easily. I would have gone 12's with a clutch at 9psi on stock fuel...not being able to launch is fuckin gai.

And im not being the typical bench racer, i was going 11.1's on a car that probably didnt make 500awhp like it was my job. 550awhp should be a no brainer for me...Looking forward to trying next year!

Jason

[Alex3000gt]

Anyone have a video of the final NA FWD race?

[lawdogg]

Alex I might on my cell phone, I will work on posting it. I know I have at least one of you.

[Alex3000gt]

As long as it is not of my 28 second "Sunday Drive."

haha.

[Emilie@GZP]

That was awesome. They needed to play elevator music as you cruiser down the track. Haha

[futurevr4man]

to the driveshaft comments... there was a group of us talking about that and every break was a situational thing:

bill's first one caught on fire when his power steering caught on fire. the fluid had leaked onto it and burned
bill's second one had a faulty u-joint. the u joint gave way, and the driveshaft smacked stuff a bit before he stopped the car

x-wires driveshaft smacked his sway bar, which killed that one.

i think the group was me, ray, jasonY, forest gump, and dpmartin all talkin. im still suprised 3 were broken.

and im gonna be a jerk and go ahead and say, i really expected to see some faster times. i know all of the really fast cars broke or were broken in some way though. oh well :/

[Emilie@GZP]

Everyone expects to see faster times every year. :)

Hell, we expected much faster times out of our car, but a blown VCU and possible engine problems kept us at 3 test and tune runs. We are SUPER bummed about that, since we stayed home an extra day to try to get it tuned in as much as possible (along with a few other mishaps that kept us back an extra day...)

With cars like these, problems are always going to come up, just the nature of the beast. LOL

[Ray Pampena]

im proud of Broomie! gooo Davey! wish my car didnt HATE me lol.. i was somewhat able to shift my car with the broken clutch then my boost control died. it stopped all that wheel spin and went 11.05 @133 @ 12psi which is 530awhp for me lol. it was fun anyway

Yea it always looks easy from a distance if you've not tried to do it. There's a reason fast cars cost a lot of money. If they could sell them without warranties they would be cheap and broken all the time. I think the problem is it goes like this.

Make more power, things break. Fix things that break. Make more power, things break. fix things that break.
Oh it's time for the NG I need more power......
things break.

Go home fix things that break.
It's kind of an endless vicious cycle.

[Emilie@GZP]

It is a horribly addicting cycle. Haha

[beepbeep]

it is a horribly addicting cycle. Haha

qft!!!

[tabasco122]

im pretty happy with my time, next year its going to be more fun with a larger turbo.

[whitedragon]

Also happy with my time. 12.53 at 111mph. Unfortunately, my best run of the night was against Dan Dillon in the eliminations, so his 11.7 trumped me. Still worth 3rd place in the Stock MAF category though!
