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.
|
My last run in the 15.3's
|
Here is me and the Grand prix again
|
except the first run, pretty consistent on rxn times, congrats on good times!

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 |
Here is a race pic of me and GrandPrix GT racing sans headlights B)

Good times M ! Although i've never ran my car, somehow I doubt mine would keep up with those numbers. Nice sig BTW :thumbsup:

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:
|
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
|
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. |
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. |

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. |
