the good: HMP was a great experience as the stands are about 10 yards from the concrete divider of the strip. In addition to that, people can essentially lean on the divider during races and the track allows BYOB. This makes it a great place to bring a bunch of friends just to watch you race. SInce it was import night, tech was real slack. I guess they assumed there would be no fast cars or something. Basically I didn't wear a helmet (reason will be explained in the bad section) and I took people for passes down the track.
first pass I went solo, second pass I took my dad, third I took my brother, and fourth I took my GF. they are all hooked now
.
the bad: Car did not perform so well. I have been limping around on a "going-out" belt tensioner and HMP finally killed it. I barely peaked at 6lbs of boost on the runs. 60' were consistent 1.99's making it my first time in the sub-2.0 area. My 1/8 mile times varied from 8.3-8.6 in an increasing fashion.
From my calculations that equates to a 12.8-13.2 1/4 mile times. Bad for my car, but not too shabby for such little boost. I am researching 8-rib conversions and new tensioners as I want to get this problem taken care of and don't want to pull my blower two separate times. Boost was even falling off between shifts
.
overall: great time
I will be going back there shortly.
