Drag Racing Results - new PB...sooo close to the 9's

I drove the car over an hour to the track yesterday in with hopes for a 9.99 pass.

150 shot

110/93 in fuel tank

116 in dedicated

20 degrees of total timing

11.8-12.0 A/F

275/60/15 M/T radials

1st pass

1.32 60 ft
10.07
131 mph

The car wheelied pretty good and just bumped the limiter on the 1-2 shift which is 7300 ( window switch @ 7100 )

2nd pass NPB

1.34 60ft .. big wheelie and people said I set the front end down after the 60ft marker
10.05
132 mph

bumped limiter on the 1-2 shift again, so it was no fluke

I then got Jim ( our tuner ) to lower the 1-2 shift, put 2 degrees of timing in and added a touch fuel at the dedicated. There was a delay due to a clean up and the sun went down and the track went away.... so I spun and just went home

I had a great day and still very happy with the car. The air was 500-1000 for the day. The converter seems to be a little too loose, so over winter I'm going to make a few small changes to better the current combo.

Very nice Larry.

wish i could have seen that wheel stand...nice 60ft

It was sick as hell he set the front wheels down about 2feet past the 60ft mark. Larry and mario were seeing who could 60 better on the back tire's lol

And Larry post the vid and pic or Ban lol and update that sig and pic:cheers::hump:

Nice times Larry, I would definately like to see some pics/vids. Are you planning on making another track apperance this year?

Nice Larry, you really need to scan that pic you showed me and post it up. :corn:

thanks guys

The car leaves hard and Byron had the track working as usual.

I changed my mind and will go out 1 more time and hope to do so the 14th or 15th. ( weather permitting )

I emailed the photographer for the pic and hope to be able to post both vid and pic tomorrow.

sweet Larry ! yes we need a pic lol....

screw the pic, it was snapped while it was still on it's way up.

vid should suffice. :D

Close, nice 60'!!!

You went 1.34 on the rears? If so wow...

Nice results out of driving it to the track. How much were you spraying?

thanks guys

150 shot

and when I say drive the car it gets driven...60+ mph, driving hard, passing slow people and occasionally opening the cutout on some really annoying slow drivers just as I get next to them :)

I had numerous people say the fronts went down after the beam and watched the video and went frame by frame and the tires did set down after the 60ft. The first pass went a 1.32 as mentioned on a good wheelie and the second pass left way harder and wheelied way further, so I feel pretty good saying it was not the front tires.

We could not get the video to edit, so no go on that. I will hope to go back the 15th and get a good video of the car. I am trying to find someone to scan the pic since the track photo guy has not responded to my email still.

I can scan it for you.:)

I can scan it for you.:)

cool...I will swing by tonight

thanks guys

no fly'n exhaust parts for me :)

Nice wheelie. Looks like that car next to you got his ass handed to him. :)

thanks bro

you have a nice launch pic too once we can get in touch with the track photographer

Sweet pic Larry, is that your bro's car in the other lane? Btw, how much power are you making on the jug?

thanks Darren

yep the Bu is in the other lane and the photographer has a good pic of both cars at the launch we are trying to get

dyno wise on spray is nothing special since all I wanted was to make sure it worked 530ish + the bottle was near empty when I thought it was full

thanks bro

Ya it looks like Charlie is hanging um pretty high to. :corn:

I think it might have been on the way up. Larry cut around a .100 light and I was sleeping with a .400:emb:

I like this pick better. N/A on a 275/40/17 on rear and 245/45/17 up front.

Nothing like the two bro's Hanging the front wheels in the air. Love the pic larry and wow i think that is the most rubber and dirt i have ever sense on your back bumper lol J/K.

The quarters have 3 track days of rubber. The track was the first time I drove it since we were at RSD's together. I quick detailed, waxed and polished the wheels, but left the quarters since I figured it would not be worth cleaning.

1 more track visit and the quarters will get there 2 hr cleaning

I love the early shot with me and my brothers Bu.
