MSHS Maryland International Raceway October 20-22. Who's Going?

[DavidKFla]

I have about a hundred photos to put up in a Gallery. I ran into a lot of old friends and new friends as well. I wasn't planning on going tomorrow but since my welder has parts that don't work I might try and make it for a few hours. The highlight of my day, helping @zhc push his Hellcat up a hill after the trans went boom boom.

Man is hard at work and I have no doubt he'll be ready for tomorrow. I also have about two hours of burnouts and runs that I need to sort through. @DavidKFla I tried finding you, where are you located on the lot?

We're next to Zung Ho. 3 spots over.

Z is an animal. Not sure I'd do a trans swap in the pits but he's done this before.

I ran a personal best today. It was a 10.099. @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC wanted me to run a 9 but I'm okay with the tune in the car for this event.

Tomorrow is 10.50 index and I'm running this tune. Should be a whole lot of fun!!

Why not run the 10.0 index?

 

[DavidKFla]

Why not run the 10.0 index?

I'm 9th in points. Hopefully I can move up a few spots. That would be a win for me.

10.0 has the Jeeps and their trans brakes too.

There's a couple older ones in 10.50. I'll see what happens.

My reaction time has sucked this weekend. I better step up tomorrow.

You know what the secret is to beating them right? Be me.

What is it that you do, Mr pope.

Win the actual class.



Knocked out Brian (transbrake jeep) in the semis, Russ had the bye. Took the W in the Finals.

I made a Public album for everyone. I tried to add an album to the forums site but for some reason it's not possible. Can an admin chime in on that one?

And I ran it when we lined up in qualifying. Bet you don't remember but I still have the "lucky penny"!

an update from @zhc

I’m not even sure where to start with an update. I made it to the track Thursday morning and had the car setup to make a decently fast pass during the MSHS private rental.
First pass of the trailer and I click off a 7.78 @ 183 with a rather soft launch and not so clean pass. The car was making more power than it ever has and this was the first time I’ve managed to trap past 180!
I decided to turn it down a bit for a 2nd pass just to make sure nothing was hurt and went 7.8 @ 180.
On to the next day, qualifier round 1 for heavy weight, it spins unloads, I pedal, it dead hooks and then something pops underneath my feet. I immediately pull over and had to get pushed back. Likely it’s a broken input shaft.
Fortunately I had a spare so I got to work on swapping it out, mostly done last night and then finished up this morning a
Thanks to everyone who helped or offered to help, there’s no family like the Modern Street HEMI Shootout family when it comes to helping their fellow racers out in times of need.
Jon Sipple for the tow and help getting the car on the lift and after party
Andy Wagner for grabbing items I needed from his parts bin back at eastcoastmoparts.com
Gary Rhudy for help with lining up the car
Charles Maserejian,
Jordan Daughaday, and fumanchu for the hands on assist here and there.
Bill Shurr Paramount Performance Products for having my spare trans ready for me to pick up on my way through Charlotte earlier in the week.
And many more! I’m sure everyone would have helped if they could so thank you again.
Let’s see how the car does today.
long with working up new tunes for the fresh trans.
Now let’s see what I can do today after all that work.
