equalize the HP/weight ratio and you wont feel quite so smug

I like that you at least try and participate......

(just a hint: bracket racing isn't about who's fastest, it's about who's most consistent)

you know what I mean dude, it tests yall in all categories.

trust me if my shit was fixed up and had that type of money Id definitely race the shit outta yall, but atleast you can say I tried ya know, and it seems like a good idea for everyone on the site thats at the top off the list with the most hp and mods like that to all race each other to see whos the king.

when's the last time you even started your car? 2003ish?

Daytona · 02-19-2007, 09:35 AM

Mr. Blackjack is correct about Bracket Racing.

My Daytona is usually one of the slower cars in my class (regardless of what event I run in) but I am good enough on the tree and in judging my ET's to be a front-runner in every event. And if you are a good driver it doesn't even matter what type of car you race or how fast it is. I am just as consistent now with a high 16-second stock FWD Daytona as I was with my low 12-second modified RWD Camaro.

And I WILL be racing a full slate of events at RP this year - 6 Import/Sport Compact events and 11 Sunoco Points Series events.

some time last year i kicked it over once or twice. I will give gm that, their cars can sit forever and with a quick jump ot the battery will kick over everytime

and i didnt mean with the alero

kwhauck · 02-19-2007, 10:14 AM

I hope to have my car up and running in May sometime

jackal2000 · 03-04-2007, 07:59 PM

so as planned i went to the track today. i got 3 runs in and very confused. lets see if anyone can spot the anomyly.

run 1 run 2 run 3
r/t .511 .291 .347
60' 2.92 1.801 2.356
330 6.328 5.843 6.371
1/8 9.659 9.166 9.667
mph 75.01 75.02 75.58
1000 12.502 12.007 12.489
1/4 14.949 15.000 14.909
mph 91.73 92.21 92.79

i spun the tires pretty bad on the 3rd run

number1alero · 03-04-2007, 08:04 PM

^anomyly is in ur second run, 60', 1/8, 1000 all faster than the other 2, yet the final 1/4 time was slowest

thats one id love to have explained cause i cant think how it could have happened unless u had to let out of it at the end of the track

jackal2000 · 03-04-2007, 08:14 PM

i swear to god i didnt though. looking at the scan data i got 2* of KR at the end of that run, i guess thats what did it because i have no other explanation. after the first run i bumped the timing up 1* just to see what would happen. it was windy as shit but for the most part it was a tail wind or coming from the left side. the 3rd run i added some fuel to the MAF table and was borderline static the whole run. bigger injectors are a must especially since i am upgrading my TB and exhaust.

so Redogs 1/4 mile stands as record but im faster in everything else.
