Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

I'm jealous, I should be there with my new car. Had tech card and car ready and the family came down sick right before leaving. I haven't made any passes yet in good air.
What's the humidity like? are you getting close to sea level DA?
Looks like guys are being a little more careful with the AHFS.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

This should give you a fairly good idea of the weather there.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Thanks! I have a drag race weather app on my phone but Firebird in Az wasn't on the list.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Still listed under Wild Horse Park

Sea level ? Hahahaha :-)

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Mark, are you there with the pocket rocket?

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Wishful thinking😄

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Yes, Chuck I'm here , for better or worse.
The little car still runs good...Went about .80 under on the test 'n' tune day.
I tried something different in the eliminator..It didn't work.

Meanwhile, this car has got to go...soon! Somebody make me an offer ..You'll probably own it. ;-)

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Yac,
Will you share that dramatic change?

I have followed your racing endevour from Connecticut Raceway, Edgewater Raceway Park to somwhere in the great state of Arizona. You have always been a 99 percentile racer. Why other than the challenge would you not want to drive a quicker and faster race car before they take you drivers license away from you. LOL!

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Frankie, No , not specifically, but if you look at Q 1 yesterday, you'll notice that my mph at the 1/8th was more that at the 1/4. Barely under the index there , but that's okay.
No , you can't do that electronically in S/SS. ;-)
But thanks ;-)

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Any of you racers in Div. 7 have any contact info for Brad Peterson ?
He was driving a white Mustang # 7351 ( Stock Eliminator ) at the Div. 7 Phoenix race over the weekend.
I looked up his name on this site but no luck.
Any leads are appreciated

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Has to be an Ecoboost, that's the only combo that would fit in that class. They run high 13's stone stock so should fairly easily run sub index with just the basics.

……………..

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Mad I had to miss this one, great weather again!. Congrats to Darin Grossi and Chad Guilford on their wins.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

It's a 2010 Mustang GT with the 3 valve 281. He has it in K, This combo can run I,J,K. There was no ecoboost in 2010, only the 281 and 4.0 V6. Reason I know, is because I'm building this combo right now. Glad to see someone else running it.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Its for Sure a 4.6 281. Appears to be really stock running through full exhaust. He was pitted with Mike Graham. I would start asking there.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Mike's new CJ was my car. I heard about Bradford's car.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

It is stock 4.6 3v. Brad will contact you.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Yes, the car is stock, including full exhaust, AC, power steering, cup holders and SiriusXM radio.

One of RFC guys was "busting my chops" for drinking coffee in the staging lanes while listening to Classic Rewind.

The car is a rescue. It most likely would have been parted out and crushed. I got it from an auction as it had been written off as a total loss.

I had it put on a frame machine and straightened then some budget paint work, new fender and nose were added.

She's a bit of a secretary's car. Not very flashy and in a class of her own. Maybe I should call her Moneypenny or Pepper Potts.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Here are a few more shots I took.

Awesome weather!

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Moneypenny for the win! Millennials and Gen Z will be in a quandary.

Re: LODRS D7 Phoenix
 

Perfect weather for Phoenix if there ever was any...maybe just a tiny bit too perfect for my cars liking (oh, it loved that cool morning air and track temp for sure, afternoon not as much after the sun beat down on that jet black track a while), always attempting to catch up a bit to a few feet of lower D.A. each and
every morning as the afternoon temp was climbing the opposite way.

Will anyone with a little tiny box of luck sitting on a shelf somewhere (and has not used it up), please forward it to me right away (etsy and ebay does not carry it as I looked, and Luke B. does not have a "Driving The Stripe for really slow guys" course listed!)....racer in need....lol.

Just joking, but dang it. My last 3 race days Sunday, Friday, Sunday I needed just a little luck (CW Hoeffer, CW Hoeffer, Jody Lang). And in all 3 close was just not close enough, even by a few thou. (I still have a sense of humor though...Steel sharpens Steel is all I can say!)

My world is soon to change, Monday after next I drop the car off at RAD in Lake Havasu City to finish up the Holley Ter. X and get out (I hope and pray), of being marred in the 47th Q spot and move up the Q list a bit. We shall see if that helps. But, I would still take a tiny touch of luck too as we are going to soon lose this magic west coast early morning weather fast!
