Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Going nuts with this rain, I can't wait to test my launch control stuff and e-brake/brakes. I will be at BIR for memorial day weekend. The goal is to get this pig into the 8's & a higher trap MPH. Anyone else plan on coming up?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yep that's the plan. I hope all the BS is worth it, vs. a aluminum LR 2.0 with a newer style turbo (My GT4276R is rated for 1200, may as well try to flex it more that what I am now).

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

if we all worked as fast as you do who would need a forum?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

I hear ya on the rain thing, this is miserable! I'm having a handful of a time testing out a STS evo9 and you have a 1000hp race car to deal with...crap! When you do get it out, be careful!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Good luck Mark. I am also going to launch control on a push button. I need to up date my build thread.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Had a good weekend at BIR. I started to tune in the launch control device, it works well but is very touchy. I need more seat time as I only got 5 passes in all weekend. The car is ready for the MAP event in June. I was able to focus on the tree cutting a .047, .098 and a .2 second light. This video was during time trials and the mustang ran a 12.0, you cannot see it from the video.

I was going 124.9mph, 6.03 seconds in the 1/8. This was a 1.60 60 foot too! I rolled the beams causing a slow 60 foot time. I know how to solve this too.

Overall a fun weekend.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

So close! Does the launch control thing help quite a it with consistency? Is it that hydraulic thing that Magnus sells?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Nice work Mark, you earned it!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Congrats, that is awesome.
How many passes did you get?
How many in the 8s?

Happy that you hit your goal early in the season.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Wow that corolla went nuts!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

That's awesome, congrats!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

So nice dude! The new setup is the bomb! I'm super bumbed we couldn't hang out more this weekend, TTS ate up so much of my time--keep fighting the good fight!

Also, holy eff talk about being composed and focused, what what happening in the other lane would likely be enough to distract just about anyone...or or or I guess, encourage you to get the flying farkle out of the way!!!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Badass man! Any in car video?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Once again, congrats Mark! 8's is a huge accomplishment.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Congrats again Mark, good work glad to see your hard work is paying off with results!

Car will go 60's with a mid 1.4x 60 foot and it's been 1.3x's so who knows!!!:cheer:

It's got more in it for sure!:spin:

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

congrats man! it was crazy, watched it from stageing lanes

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Thanks for all the feedback and for those of you who shared in my excitement this weekend with breaking into the 8’s. It's a huge milestone passed for me!
Nate, you had a hell of a weekend too. That bike grudge match was unreal. Do you have a video of it?

My car may have more in it, the question is can I get it out of it!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

#62 fastest Mitsu on the planet http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...pssuleatwr.png

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

It's crazy that there's 61 people faster than an 8.8 with a Mitsu. Wow!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

His name is posted above.
DSMs have gotten a lot faster in the last 5 years, its nuts. Thanks E85.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

That was a heck of a run man.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Thanks! I've got a couple of things in mind for this winter too. Who knows maybe 61 on the list.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Winter is just around the corner. 153mm of awesomeness.
