New Personal Best @ GLD tonight

[OffshoreDrilling]

This was the first time I've been to the track with decent weather since I swapped out the cam in my truck. The first run was a 12.6xx, and looking at my HPTuners logs it was shifting at 5600 from 1-2 and 5800 from 2-3....... Raised my shift MPH too much and second run I bounced off the limiter. After that I just slowly crept up the MPH until I got it shifting at 6200.

First run after getting the shift points sorted out: 12.430 @108.31 1.682 60'

It ran dead solid 12.50x all night besides that one run. Also, I raced an SRT8 cherokee for $20, gave him the hit. Ran his ass down and then a few lengths.

I was hoping to hit 12.4xx tonight so no complaints. The truck is consistently more faster with the cam. Not a doubt in my mind that it will knock out a handfull of 12.3xx before this season is over.

I got dizzy when he let me take it down the track. iirc i pulled a low 1.7 60'

 

[Yaj Yak]

syp did you run well. (dont want to ruin ur awesomely racecar hustle you got goin on)

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

he brought out the SHO not the G ATE

 

[syP]

lets just say my DD pos 93 SHO is faster than A LOT of peoples DD/only/racecarz

It was pretty busy there tonight, so I just ran in the pro tree lane with 4-5 other cars. In the regular staging lanes, I doubt I would have made more than 4 runs the entire nite. Managed to get 9 runs in between 730 and 930 with stopping to make tune adjustments between each run..... The track prep was much nicer as well because the "race carz" were using that lane. VHT on the track after every few cars.

Nice job Jared

 

[blakbearddelite]

Nice times!!!

I wish I could cut a 1.6X

Good runs Jared. I seriously do not know why so many people talk shit about GLD. It I think it has alot todo with the weather, but people want to blame track prep to cover up poor driving or a car that isnt performing well. If you want to make a statement like that, you better be one of those guys who goes racing every weekend and runs consistently better times at other tracks to say "GLD sucks". I know a few people that made PB's at GLD but cant match them at other tracks. I will continue to goto GLD. Its nice to be able to cruise up after work and make a few runs. You cant beat that $20 wed price (even though isnt that the stock byron price?) but seems wed's are getting very busy. I am however not en ticed about the pricing.

Byron is 25. I have never been to GLD. Nice job Jarrod.

 

[Bru]

Very nice times

My issue with GLD came with track management, where almost three house were cut from their scheduled time because of a late start and poor clean-up management -- one guy with paper towels isn't going to get the job done after a spill.

Paper towels don't work well at Byron either.

there must be some kind of science behind it

Wow, that thing is a BEAST!

 

[Yaj Yak]

jared are you still awd?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

yes, still AWD. Dont think Im going to swap over to 2wd. Im barely paying my bills right now, so car mods have to wait.

the track gripped great last night.. the only thing that bugged me was over 150 cars... (but thats expected with that price)

and there was only 1 guy teching in.. we waited about 1 hour in the tech line
