I probably need 1 gallon of c-16. Does anybody have some they could sell? I can't get any here on short notice, so I need to find some elsewhere. Does anyone know if the track still sells fuel?

Hey Kevin I`m pretty sure the track dosnt sell fuel anymore. I heard the couple that used to sell it there have retired.
-
From Mission site
Notice to all competitors, the fuel vendors at the track have now retired. If you plan on attending an event at MRP please ensure that you have brought enough fuel with you. You can call Bill BOURDON to see if he has the VP Fuel required..(604)792-8804 or cell (604)795-0126

PDT_Armataz_01_37 I heard from a little birdie that some singleport may have run a low 11 at 120mphish Can't wait for details Still on stock tranny :o
-
I dont think he hit the 120's but 11's and 3 cv's later and he was back on the trailer...
-
Big thanks to everyone who helped me out yesterday. Even though I couldnt make a decent pass due to tranny problems it was fun being able to pull the wheels of the ground.
Hopefully Kevin has some video everyones passes.
-
Whahoo what a day. 2 broken cv's and a busted 3rd gear, so finally the stock tranny gave up, and I was still able to drive it onto the trailer, I had another 3 cv's as spares, so I was ready for more cv's to go.. Nope didn't get my 10.99, but I did get a
11.259 @ 120.48 with a 1.699 60' ;D 1/8 mile time was a 7.211 @ 99.4
So for the great Canadian, hopefully everything will work out, and I will get my 10 second slip.
19 psi boost was what I ran.
Video's will be posted when I can get some time.

awesome, didnt think you got the mph out of it

Here is the video of my 11.25 pass, Thankyou Christine :D, this is the only video of my car making a complete pass, my other good 11 second passes were not recorded cause Christine wasn't there yet. The only other videos are of Chris's, Brian's, Darren's, and Terrry's car cause I did the videoing.
Vw bug singleport Mission Test and Tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV12RL3P8Bw#ws)
First pass off the trailer was a 11.57 @ 117.77 second pass was a 11.422 @ 118.56, third pass, was a 11.259 @ 120.48. Every pass after that, something went wrong. Track went real sticky quick in the heat, and I didn't expect it, I was playing with tire pressure every pass to get the right amount of spin.
Here is every body else making a pass

Sorry about the shakeyness, I stiffened the camera mount cause it was bouncy the last time I video'd, and now it is too stiff, this is only some of the runs, I guess when I turned on the camera, I must have bumped the button off again as I pulled my hand away, so there are video's only a half second long. darn.. the last 2 videos are of the clutch slipping bad, and the cv joint breaking. No video of the tranny breaking, the sound from that was louder than the cv breaking and I was looking froward to seeing that run from in the car.

Great videos. Looks like Chris caught some air off the line on that one pass. PDT_Armataz_01_37

Every body but me was catching air off the line.

So crunching some #'s on my calculator, all I need to do is get a sub 1.65 60' to get a 10 second slip. Will have to make sure that happens at the Great Canadian, as thats the next time I will be able to get to the track.

Hey Kevin , nice to meet you on Friday . Your right stronger trans and axles and you can leave harder and lower the sixty foot times and crank out a ten second pass
