Thunder Valley Raceway Park
We will be at the 10.5 race in Noble if anyone there or close by is interested. Stop by our trailer if you get a chance.
We switched back to our old gears and turned off the boost controller and locked the wastegate so who knows what it will run.

With the rules of the class we are running, we have to have an inlet reducer in so it probably will only make 22psi. We will leave on 9-10psi so that is around 750-800hp but the fun part is in less than 1 second it be at full boost and when we get to the max hp rpm that will be around 1400hp with the reducer. yeehaw

Re: Thunder Valley Raceway Park
If anyone makes it out there just stop on by the trailer. You have all seen the car by now on here and if not just look for the only trailer with 1000lbs of ice and no beer.

Re: Thunder Valley Raceway Park
at 1 o'clock its already 101 degrees lol. I do think I may head down, thought of bringing the smallblock car to test, but with the OTTF and the bracket classes it would be too much wait for just TnT.
I may bring the Fabio cam along as well...........

Travel limiter broke on the driver side and sent it to the moon.

Re: Thunder Valley Raceway Park
well thanks for all the positive comments. We looked at the data logger this morning and we probably would have been on a really good pass but a $5 part cost us. It was cool hanging out with you richter69 and your brother. I will say that the guys in Oklahoma really know how to have a good time. we had a blast.
We did get the biggest wheelie cash so it paid for the hotel room. as far as the video.......well as soon as it went to the moon I was trying to help him steer so all you can see is about 5 minutes of the ground and me walking around before I realized the camera was still on. I don't usually film so every time he started down the track I would watch him and not pay attention to filming so none of the film was any good. If someone from up there post something, I will put it here.
We are DEFINITELY going back to OK to race. We may head up to Tulsa for their big race coming up.

You can't even see the good driving on the video. Josh peddled it three times trying to save the pass but the wall was just too close to our path.lol
We will make new limiters and straighten the oil pan and move about 30-50lbs to the front of the car and get back to it.
As you can see from my avatar we keep the front end tied down pretty tight so when that thing let go it changed a lot in our tuneup.

I finished at 4 o'clock yesterday, just decided to go watch as with the OTTF and bracket classes gettin' tnt in would be tough. Plus I just wanted to hang out and be lazy lol.
Will take it next friday or saturday.

I know what you mean trying to film and watch the car at the same time. I loose the car the same way sometimes trying to watch Rick (aka 557mazda) if he gets out of the groove or the car stands up.It is hard to film and watch what the car is doing for sure.But the car looks fast for sure good luck with it.
