SCMC Drag Day at Carolina Dragway! November 6, 2004 - Page 2

GMRACIN · 10-19-2004, 09:47 PM

I am planning to come to the event in my 03 Cobra. I notice that something was said about bringing some GM guys. I have a friend with a Vette that is wanting to make the trip with me. If he registers, Will he be allowed to race with us also?

**cobrabitn** · 10-19-2004, 10:14 PM

We already have several GM guys preregistered for the event. Please preregister and save yourself a few dollars. Go to www.svtcobraclub.com and download your registration form. In the Spring, we had the Corvette club come and run with us. There is one in particular I am gunning for but all in good fun!

Bring friends, have fun!

If you own a convertible there are new rules concerning rollbars.

If you do not have a rollbar then you can participate as long as your car is not faster then 11.49 according to IHRA rules.

I'm almost 100% sure on this but it is definitely a 11.99 according to NHRA rules.

Hope that will allow more of you to participate!

tcrews · 10-20-2004, 10:36 PM

Well Tony my payment is on the way.......

Hope I don't have a repeat of the last drag day I participated in

**cobrabitn** · 10-20-2004, 10:48 PM

I hope you don't either Tom but freaking A!

Can't wait to see what that bad boy runs, any educated guesses?

tcrews · 10-20-2004, 10:54 PM

Probably high 13's with the way I plan to baby it

LOL

Let's see....launching easy, short shifting around 6,500rpm and granny shifting at that......probably a low 12.....if I'm lucky a high 11.

JC (similar numbers) ran a 11.2 @ 128 mph but that was on ET streets. I figure my MPH will be close but my ET is going to be a bit slower.

**cobrabitn** · 10-20-2004, 11:54 PM

Okay, you know my rwhp. What will my numbers be in the 1/4? Or should I say, what can I get out of it say with a 2.0 60 foot time?

You should easily be in the 12's. Hard to tell since your torque curve is so different than what I have. I'd say a 12.8 @ 109-110 mph.

look at my bone stock time this past spring. I was running 1.9 60ft on stock GY tires. with a 12.79 et.

I am wanting to preregister but for some reason, I can not get my computer to bring up the page to sign up. What am I doing wrong?

Mail in registration......the link posted above had an extra l in html (htmll) preventing the main page from opening where you can get the form ( a .pdf file) to print and fill out and mail in.

smashedheadcat · 10-22-2004, 10:52 AM

Hey Tony. Depending on mods......... I can give ya educated 1/8 mile guesses. I went with a 2.0 60 ft bone stock 8.40 @ 83.99 mph. The mph was low, but this was stone stock. I added nitto's, K&N filter, stinger catback and went 8.17 @ 86.9 mph with a 1.81 60 ft. I added the MAC CAI and Prochamber midpipe and went 8.19 @89.89 mph with a 1.94 60 ft. (nitto's are done for).

Hope this helps........ any of those passes would be into the 12's. I think, by seeing you at the 5th anniv.... (track didn't hook, and the density altitude was garbage), you'll go 12's very consistantly. Also, seeing that I don't need a cage as long as I behave on the track..... I'll be preregistering and attending the event in the 97.

Corner-Carver · 10-22-2004, 01:05 PM

BTW, the "Speedway" gas station that people stopped at ( exit 5 off of I-20) is now a "Sunoco". I just wish they had 94 octane. Ofcourse the 76 across I-20 has 100 octane unleaded.

Here's to hoping I don't have to work Saturday. I'm sure I can beat my past 11.92.

**cobrabitn** · 10-23-2004, 06:20 PM

Thanks for the update Paul on the gas station.

Josh, I hope you can make it!

Sorry about the link GM Racing but thanks for correcting it for me TCrews.

John A, I hope you can stay all day but if you can't then I hope you get to enjoy the time you do have on the track.

I'm hoping for a 12.5 @ 109 mph.... do you think that is unrealistic? I will have drag radials on and I will probably launch around 3000 rpms to start out with till I see what the car can handle.

Registration is on the way! What time is the event?
