Here is a short video clip of one pass made during a test and tune session earlier this season. The quality is not great but it'll have to do until I can get a better quality version posted. The pass is all motor, 6.98 @ 96 mph/ 1.48 60' / 3000 lbs., running 93 octane pump gas and short shifting at 6000 rpm's......... http://www.studioonline.com/playclip.asp?iDigitalMediaID=302161&tiEncodingStatus=1&LangID=1&crypt=275DE7A2E2E8EB19&iMediaTypeID=2
Stephen- So what are you changing for the challenge matches at the end of July to run 1/4? Or is that top secret? Looking good. Seth
Seth, I probably won't change anything.....it's just not worth it to switch over to a 1/4 mile for just one trip to the track, i'll be running 1/8th mile only at the roundup......
It would be interesting to see with a gear swap what yours would do in MPH in the 1/4 mile. I know that there are other factors to consider, many for safety. I have no concept about 1/8 times and MPH. All my history is based on 1/4 mile. Seth
I'll try 1/4 mile one day but right now it's just not in the budget to make the necessary changes......all the local tracks are 1/8th mile.....closest 1/4 mile is Bristol and they won't let me run, my car doesn't meet NHRA and IHRA guidelines for how fast it's going..... If I were to spray it they would want me to have a parachute, per the rulebook.......
Try right clicking on the link and clicking "save target as"..... It would be a high 10 second car in the 1/4mile on motor.
Looks excellent. Weren't you in the low 7's last year on the motor? Are you heading to Farmington any this year? Cleaver
Sweet! I just ran for the first time. 12.22 motor only with all season radials and stock suspension! Not in your class but I sure caught the bug! Right clicking didn't work. Damn.
WOW, that is a very clean looking launch. Awsome e.t. too! The mph was a little lower than I would've thought but did I mention the e.t. is awsome? Looks like a blast!
Rick, the mph was a little lower then average.....probably due to the lower launch rpm and lower shift rpm.....The car is launching better then it ever has, the suspension changes made all the difference!!! Courier, congratulations on your first pass.....those are not bad times for your first trip!! Keep up the good work!! Cleaver, yes my best time last year was a 7.05 on motor....best time this year is a 6.83 on motor.....I keep making changes and the car keeps getting faster! Not sure if i'll make it to Farmington this year, probably be doing most of my racing at Shadyside and Mooresville......
just saw the clip. internet is much faster here at work. Nice looking launch! leaves straight as an arrow.
