So a bunch of us went out racing last night as I mentioned before. The conditions were amazing and I think everyone there got a new PB time. I beat my previous time 4 times last night and was really happy! I finally got my tires to hook up and launch.

And before some of you start saying a 4 cyl can't run that fast here are my time slips and many people on this site were there racing with me.

I run my car near empty with no spare tire/jack and my left head light removed to get air to my intake. the temp was about 50-55 degrees American

Here is my best run of the night!

I am car #495

This is my second best run. It was against my friend on this site (Grandprix GT) who drives a (surprise) Grandprix GT. His best run was a 15.29 I think. He'll let you know for sure.

MikeSS 10-24-2004 10:57 AM

My last run in the 15.3's

MikeSS 10-24-2004 10:58 AM

Here is me and the Grand prix again

Thanks man!

rxn - that mean reaction times? cause I am car 495 and I was in the fives in all but the first one :unsure:

We use old IHRA trees where perfect reation time is .500

Thats awesome dude, though I seem to remember you mentioning you had different grip or wheels last time you went to the track? What sorta rubber is that on the car in the pics? Have you taken out the Cat or the Resonator on your exhaust system? What level of RPM's were you dumpin at, and did you need to feather the clutch? Also, off topic, and just outta curiousity, but please lemme know a lil more about how you have your custom CAI routed :thumbsup:

Good times but work on that R/T :thumbsup:

FormulaNERD 10-30-2004 11:16 AM

consistent .540-.590 is pretty decent ken. i used to try for perfect .500, but after 3 perfect light trophies, and a few .499-.496 fouls, i decided i could deal with .520-.550

Oldsman 10-30-2004 11:20 AM

when i use to bracket race i had consistant .510-.520 those are pretty good. it is to easy to lose with those high of r/t

getting redlights are all part of drag racing.

FormulaNERD 10-30-2004 11:23 AM

yea, well bracket racing with street cars is completely different than sportsman footbrakes.

with sportsman footbrakes, your car is so dialed in that the entire race is pretty much in the tree.

Those are the stock crappy BF Goodrich tires but down to 25PSI. I have the stock CAT in my car and a high flow resonator. The piping goes arouind my battery and through the whole where the stock airbox was into the left fender.

Yeah, my reaction times aren't great, I was more worried about hooking up then getting a good start, but now that I know how to run the car, I will work on the reaction times next.

I do feather the clutch cause when I dumped at 3000rpm or 3500rpm I would get horrible wheel hop. I usually feather the clutch around 3500rpm.
