Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
Dad and I went to KMP last night for another go at it. The improvements from last week that I noticed were that there were more people at the entrance gate getting signatures and taking money, so that went quickly. There is now at least a couple working speakers that I heard, so it's easier to know ...

Re: No burnouts allowed!
The cop was correct in drawing his weapon as that guy was putting other people's lives in serious danger. People can be soooo stupid.

Re: 1979 Malibu
That looks pretty slick. I'm sure there's a ready made hose for that scenario.

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD - Mostmint #46
5) I ran most of the passes in sport mode. When they switched to 1/8 mile passes, I let off at the end and the car would not upshift. I switched back to touring mode after this happened and it went back to normal on the return road. Unclear if this is normal behavior I suspect this is completely nor...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
Last night coming home from the track was the first time I've driven at night with the new headlights. They are definitely an improvement, and since it was fresh in my head, and the car was in my garage, I took the chance to adjust them a little better. The right light was pointed forward correctly ...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
My Vette doesn't have traction control so that's a non-issue for me.

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
I also forgot to mention, that despite the rather bad air quality, there was a decent tailwind, and I was able to get my best ET in time runs at 13.66 and my best 60' at 1.80. The car is dead consistent with even decent traction. Three time runs at 1/4 mile were 13.68, 13.68, and 13.66. This is the ...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
For those who weren't there last night, the new track management has a lot of work to do to get organized. Hopefully they can get it figured out over the next few weeks. There was just a lot of confusion and lack of preparation on their part. It was frustrating. That being said, it was fun hanging o...

Re: 1987 BMW 325iC - white / tan
Those are all worthwhile upgrades to make that a daily driver. Especially the skid plate. That thing is LOW.

2024 Drag Racing Stuff
Wednesday, Wednesday, WEDNESDAY!!! Tonight is finally the first Wed night of the season at Kuhnle Motorsports Park. In a off season full of drama, at least they're open and the gates open at 5. I don't know much about the rest of the evening schedule or classifications, but I'll be there with bells ...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
I agree. Since it's there, I figured it couldn't hurt to have the option. Probably just going to put the switch under the hood.

Re: 2005 Yamaha Raptor 660
Lately any ride I took since I put the new tires/wheels on the thing has been pulling to the right pretty badly. I tried some eyeball tie rod adjustments to no avail, so I got out my trusty Factory Shop Manual and did the specified adjustments and the thing still pulled a lot to the right. Scratchin...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
We got the new hose installed last weekend and put it all back together. After a trip around the block we checked and there was oil coming from what looked like both fittings where they threaded into the cooler. So yesterday we set out to figure out the problem. We took all the shrouding back off an...
