For those of ya'll not used to protion markings, I just classified this message SECRET//NOPORN. It's a play on two pieces of my life that I'm kinda folding into my new "approved" racing idea.
I deal with classified material on a frequent basis and all of it has to be marked to show what level of classification the document and paragraphs are. One of the classifications is SECRET//NOFORN, meaning only US citizens with a SECRET clearance can view it. Now the play is because I've struggled with an addiction to pornography for most of my adult life. Regardless of people's views on the subject, getting free of that addiction is the reason I'm able to race. It took my time, my money, and my drive off of the things that mattered to me. It's something I hid from those that cared about me for too long and now I'm putting it all on the surface as a label that this racing project/team is because I've been able to get free and it will not stay in the dark. I hope it serves as an encouragement to those who struggle with the same thing and are looking to someone to take the matter seriously and in the open unashamed. But enough on why I'm going racing and onto what I want to race.
I've not bought anything more than a rulebook that I'm patiently waiting on to arrive to start getting into the nitty gritty details of what I need to make, build, or buy to be tech and class legal. I'm after either the E or F motor records (got to have a goal, I'll take what I can get the first time out) in Classic Production Supercharged in a 1981 Buick Regal with a Turbo6. There is a 139.359mph record for E/CPS and none for F/CPS since it didn't exist till this year.
Based on the rough estimates of the "Purple Sage" SS Drag Force HP Thrust spreadsheet I need somewhere between 215-245hp to make an exit speed of 150mph which based on some totally uneducated guessing is what I'd need to do to break 140 over the final mile.
I need lots of help with things like rear axle ratio and prep, wheels and tires, and the minor stuff that will get you bogged down in tech. Though the first thing I'd like to really sceince out is what my exit speed needs to be approximately for 140+ average over the final mile on the short course.
Thanks and look forward to getting this rolling.
