On friday night I finnaly recieved my new 255lph walbro and replaced my dead stocker. I was lucky to have it done in time for the drags. On saturday september 6 street drags were held up at thunder mountain in Kelowna, British Columbia. 1/8 mile track only which was too bad .
This was my first time EVER! on the drag strip. I drove my 1987 Supra with 7MGTE. I had an awesome time doing runs up there. I am almost completely stock running a MBC at 10-11 psi, 3" cone filter + adaptor, and an open down pipe. I spent a hole of $10 on
performance upgrades on my ride. I was running 225/45ZR17 Avon tires.
There was alot of fast cars up there from twin turbo buick regals(i think?), WRX STi's, Ford Supersnake, big HP diesels, blown chevys, ect..
My first video is me up against a WRX STi. Me having some traction problems and a slower reaction up me at a 10.7 for this run.

2nd video is me up with a buick regal (not the turbo) I was starting to figure out the track at this time. airing my rear tires from 30 to 28psi and warming the tires nicely. It was really sticky and didnt rev enough this run so i bogged off the line.

3rd video. up with an oldsmobile. By this time I got the track figure out, right amount of warming the tires with a 4000rpm launch. I took the win with a 10.26.

What was too bad was that my camera buddies missed filming my best run of the night
. I ran a 10.003 at 69.26 MPH. With a reaction time of 0.662 and a perfect launch. this was an awesome run. Heres my time slip. The names on the slips were all messed up so it just went by the car #.
With running the 10.003 I landed first in the 6 cylinder import class and i got a trophy!
Heres a couple of pics of my ride.
Just starting to do fuel pump change. Was in too much of rush to take more pictures
The day after the drags.
My chewed up tires haha :naughty: :biglaugh:
