Good morning! Hope some of you are able to make it out to hang out at the swap meet and/or race today. I intend to arrive at 9:30am with my 9 year old son.
Track temperatures today are forecasted to be 45-50F so it will be great day.
BTW, it costs another $10 if you'd like to set out items you'd like to sell.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE
Update/Results:
Air temps were okay but not as low as was forecasted.
1) 13.2xx @ 104mph
2) 13.5xx @ 102mph axle hop, let off throttle
3) 13.2xx @ 105mph
4) 13.033 @ 106mph

Actual Results
Yes, close to the high 12s. I'm Car # 500 on the attached time slips.
Race 1) 13.287 @ 104.62mph
Race 2) 13.548 @ 104.89mph spun & axel hop after 60'
Race 3) 13.243 @ 105.15mph
Race 4) 13.033 @ 106.83mph coolant was only 90F when in staging lines and ~120F as I staged for my race
Race 4 was with a 2008 Jeep SRT8. The Jeep had 79K miles, transmission tune and an upgraded cold air intake. It was a fun race, where the Jeep had the best ET by 0.100 seconds (Me 13.033 @ 106.83mph vs. Jeep 12.933 @ 105.05mph). It was both of our best runs of the day.

My 9 year-old son and 13 year-old daughter made the finales in a swim meet today (11/23), so it is not a good day for me to go to the track. Also, it looks like rain this afternoon.
Next Sunday (11/30) there will be an AMSOIL representative at MIR who is providing oil/fluid for our rear differential, transmission and motor. Let me know ahead of time and he will bring oil/fluids for you too. Cost will be around $200.
Update: $225 includes tax (2 qts rear diff, 8 qts trans, 8 qts engine)
I'll see you all there next Sunday (11/30).
BTW, I went to Cecil County Dragway yesterday and the air temperature was between 40-42F when I made seven runs. Unfortunately, the track was not prepared well and I could not get traction the first 100' off the line. Typically, I run 1.9sec 60' times but my best all day was 2.3sec with an ET of 13.3 @ 108mph. I had some ETs as bad as 14.2 seconds. No matter the air pressure in the tires, I uncharacteristically spun badly.
Update: Cecil County Dragway, Car #123, Best and Worst Time Slips

RayLue: Sorry you can't make it:-(
Jackra_1: Hope to see you tomorrow
I'm still going to the last track day of the year at MIR tomorrow. I'll be there the first part of the day (10 AM) but may leave if it gets too warm (~2 PM).
I arrived at my home tonight and I noticed I had a flat tire. It took a few tries but a plug finally seems to be holding air. Also noticed that my last time out to Cecil Dragway really took a toll on my tires. I don't have much tread remaining.

Nice to meet everyone today.
The late November weather was very mild and perfect for a meet and greet -- but not ideal for achieving best possible times. The weather was mostly sunny with temps ranging from the middle 50s to upper 60s.
I first met up with jackra_1 and he brought out his very nice an clean black 2005 Jaguar XJR. He wants to work on a few mechanical items before tracking his car. He expects to have it ready next Spring.
A bit later Ulises09 brought his new and very nice 2015 Jaguar F Type-R. Ulises had his buddy Fred in the car with him. They came with their friend who made some runs in a 2013 V6 Honda Accord.
Ulises had never raced his F Type-R before today and his 60' time was not bad at all at 2.0 sec but he likely could drop it to ~1.8 and lower his ET to ~11.6. As we left the track I experience first hand the active exhaust note (when opened) on the F Type R. The sound on acceleration and deceleration is incredible!
Next time we need to all hang out afterwards and grab some food and beverages.

- Ulises09 made one run in his F Type-R with an incredible ET of 11.8 @ 122mph
- Fred made one run in the F Type-R with an ET of 12.5 @ 119mph
- Their buddy in the Honda Accord ran 14.6 @ ?mph
- My best run today in my S Type-R was 13.2 @ 105mph
