Lebanon valley dragway 10/26/2008.Anybody?????Edited
 
Thinking of taking the corolla up for one last run. I put slicks on to try to get a healthy 60' time and went up on boost. I hope to do better than my previous 11.8 time.
Is anybody else going?

I have to put another trany in tomorrow (another story) and if all goes well i will be going. When i ran my 11.8 run it was against my friends 95 escort. He is running low 12's on DOT's and just bought slicks. He is hoping for some 11 second runs.I will know if we are going buy tomorrow night.

We are going to NED not LVD.
But, my corolla has a conquest 2.6 motor which was dodge so I could go there also!

Well, sorry no time slip. Went from connecticut up through massachusetts and to new york to find they closed the track because the return lane was under water!! What a waste of $70. of diesel and 5 hours of driving. Since i did not race i will guess i was going to run a...........
11.56@121
And a 1.58 60' time, hell i guess i also pulled both front tires off the ground and did a john force burnout for 110'

May try to go to EPPING for a street night of something.
Good news is i didn't break anything today!

Damn that sucks, we have the same problem around here. seems all the tracks are built on worthless pieces of crap and that nobody wanted to start out with. Anytime the dew is heavy they have water problems.

The track is at the bottom of the berkshire mountains.
EVILLE140, what trany are you using? Is it a stock 3tc 5 speed and if so, what kind of HP can they take? The trany I put in was from a 89 starion and looked stronger than the one I took out. I am told the mitsubishi mighty max trany is stronger so if I break this one I will go to one of those.

do you have a white old school toyota thingly like eville but a coupe?

if so i think i saw you going back down down the mass pike to CT, which made me hop on my iphone and go to LVD's site only to see that the track was floooded on the main page. i wish i checked before we left lol.

I was towing it with my white duramax. The track was dry but the return road was under water. Here is a picture of the car

Int he starlet I am running an old iron case toyota w50, they are suppose to be pretty stout and good till around 500whpp or so. I've got 3 though just in case :)

If they end up eventually dieing I already have it figured out on how to put a g-force upgraded ford T5 behind the motor.

I have a 5 speed from a 88 t-bird turbo coupe,is this a t5? What does g-force do to the trany? How much do they charge?
