Sorry guys, here's what happened. My mom and dad were down watching the kids while my wife was on a cruise with her aging mother. My wife had my very nice digital camera on the cruise, but my dad had thier camera for photos of the grandkids. I made sure he brought it when he came with me while my mom stayed home with the kids that day. He's usually pretty good about being prepared for things and I was impressed that he remembered the camera. We got down there after a sloppy wet 4 hour drive from Kalamazoo and of course it was raining. None-the- less I mentioned to him to get whatever pics he could. There was a pretty good turnout anyway despite the weather probably due to the 52 dollar entry fee and the fact you had to be present to collect a door prize. Well he managed to get about 5 or 6 shots of a couple cars and me working on installing my just then purchased AGP engine mounts in the pit area, when his camera died. Crap! well we can run to a store and get batts I thought. (my Sony takes 2 AA rechargeable or regular types) Not his. He had a Canon. Canons use a special Canon battery. He didn't bring a charger either. Oh well it was rained out any way or so I thought. (it was, and rescheduled June 23rd) After 4 pm they were to re-open for the regular locals for a test and tune if the weather cleared. I wasn't sure if we would stay because I could go back to Kalamazoo, and make it up to Martin for midnight madness and I knew the weather was good back that way. After polling many of the people who by now were leaving (around 11 am), it was decided by most to go back to the Econolodge in town where some had rooms, and wait out the weather for a while and see what happens. We did that. Met and talked to a lot of nice people, most of them from the SRT forums. Ended up staying cause I figured I would rather see a bunch of built Neons running here at Norwalk then go all the way back to Martin and have myself be the only Neon there. Well I know I could have gone to a drugstore or something and get a disposable camera but I didn't. Sorry again. I will then ask you guys to go the other afore mentioned SRT forum and see what pics might be posted there. I will soon get what pics I did get from my dads camera posted.
We did end up being able to run later and it was very cool. My stock stage zero was predictably one of the slowest (but not the slowest) BUT was one of the fastest almost completely stock Neons anyone had seen. I ran a best of 13.68 at 103.5 mph! That was on a .262 r/t with a 2.0 60. (my best 60 was on another run of 1.99) I was very pleased! I will post the slip. My total mods are 225/55/16 Fuzion ZRI tires, Autolite Iridium sparkplugs, and a K&N airfilter in the stock airbox, a home made heat shield for the coil, aaand my brand new AGP motor mounts I bought for 50 dolars from a guy who won them as a door prize and already had some. It turned out to be a very good day.

 

Your stock and trap times are incredible for the mods, or lack of mods, that I have seen. I've heard people say that they could be around 13.7 or so, but I know you don't BS, so I know that your time is a fact. A sub 2.00 sixty, too. Just blows me away. I got my car to 14.1 and that was the best I could do. Congratuations,,,,,,you have the driver mod.

 

Thanks man, I am super jazzed about all this despite I only won like one race and that was against a 17 second chevy berlinetta. I was diggin out of the hole like a freak. I give lots of credit to the Fuzion tires. I was running with guys that were running Bfg Drag Radials and holding my own. My trap speed increase was soley a driving style change. My car always had it in it. The secret? shift right on 5500 every shift. I had been holding out to 5900 before. That's too high for the stocker I guess. It likes 5500. That's was it. Still blows me away. My first couple of runs with my old bad habits were low 14's. I had to modify my launch style with the excellent track and the new feel of the motor mounts too. The solid mounts give you more control and "feel" of the wheel spin. They dont give you traction, but they do help you drive. No more wheel hop either......nice!.....
