I was going last Saturday for the fun bracket races but it got rained out.  I really want to run my Continental to see what it will do stock but I can't make it tomorrow.  It is going to be busy there with the chassis certification going on. 

I am planning to go to Brainerd on May 3.  Running my Conti stock will be a real let-down from when I ran my tuned MKS but I am feeling the need for speed (at least a little bit.)

Let us know how you run at Rock Falls!

Wow, that was fun!  First time at the track, so I wasn't sure what I was doing, but I picked it up pretty quickly.  On my first run, I drove past the staging lights, and the guy at the line had to tell me to back up. 

Ran my regular A/S street tires @ 28 psi, and used tips from this forum for launching & track etiquette.  Only made 4 passes, because I was on a limited kitchen pass.  I ran all 4 in Drive, because frankly, I didn't think to put it in Sport mode.  I did disable AdvanceTrac, though.  I ran with the meth turned off for runs 1 & 3.

Run 1: 93 Performance tune w/100 octane
12.661@108.95

Run 2: 93 Performance tune w/100 octane
12.427@111.17

Run 3: E30 Race tune (100 octane mixed w/E85 pump gas)
12.581@108.42

Run 4: E30 Race tune (100 octane mixed w/E85 pump gas)
12.510@110.04

The E30 Race tune is a first revision, so I'm sure that will get better.

Good numbers!   Glad you enjoyed it.  I have always liked running there.

Awesome runs!

Are you sure the meth spray was off? Your fuel pressure is the best I have ever seen for E30 there was absolutely no fuel pressure drop off when the boost spiked on upshifts and your short term fuel trims were pulling 20% which is huge...It looks like there is supplemental fuel being sprayed.

I actually had it turned on for runs 2 & 4, because I wanted to compare with vs. without.  But I've been having some issues with my meth system, and the LED didn't come on, so I thought it wasn't working.   I did a datalog for my Unleashed 91 WM tune yesterday, and Torrie didn't think the meth was spraying much.  He told me to move up a nozzle size, so I replaced my DO7 nozzle with a DO10.  But when I pressed the test button on the Alky, I heard some clicking sounds from the controller, like a relay was bouncing.

Videos are uploading to youtube now, will link when complete.
