Ran a new best today in the car, the best run was at 12:43 pm with a DA of -500.
60' 1.367
330 4.211
1/8 6.573

Thanks to all of those who have helped me along the way with the car espicially Rick and my brother Charles. The 1.3x 60' is insane!!!! If anyone has video's of the run's please send me them I would greatly apreciate it. I had a great time at the rental today.

I spoke to Rick earlier, that's Freakin' Unbelievable!!!!!!!
HUGE congrats to you guys!! You definately got your combo running GREAT and I heard the car leaves like a BEAST!!!!!!
GREAT job!!!!!!!!!! :thumb:

Big time congrats. I can't tell you how impressed I was watching that car today.
Awesome job!!!!!!
Looks like Marks car leaving but not QUITE as fast.:)

I'm pretty certain Phil has some videos.

very impressive, nice job

Thanks guy I appreciate the positive words it was one hell of a day. Thinking about ordering some lexan,tubular upper/lower control arms and a lightweight master. To say i'm happier then a pig in shit right now would be an understatement lol . Can't wait untill december 3rd :) Oh yeah and I learned how to footbrake today, thanks rick LOL

car is workin well now.... faster then some 402s :)

:eek2:

Great work guys!



were was this at? whats the info on the car, mods, setup, pics? :cheers:
this is the same Trex car, old best 10.75, what did you change? Bad ass :hail:

same car ... same thing all year ... I spent alot of time on the Tune kept working on it. Kept working on the suspension also..... Finally got some good air to run in and the car is really working well now

holy shit man! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

holy shit man! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol Thanks man. I told you wait untill I run in some good air.

lol Thanks man. I told you wait untill I run in some good air.

you need to update your signature now ;)

I take it your putting the turbo build on hold?? Throw a 150 shot on your car and put it into the 9's!!

damn seeing all you fast cam only cars runnin mid to low 10's is making me ansy to start my setup and see if i can catch up. Keep at it, maybe with a little better air and more fine tuning you can tackle the top spots.

Great job guys and good hangin' out with ya today, your car was gettin' it done all morning and the results are awesome. :cheers:

Congrats! The car was running much better than when I saw you at e-town.
It leaves nice an straight too! (Not like me)

Keep working it, you'll move up even further.

The air really wasn't that good. (mid 50's?)
I am surprised you are saying -500.
At the end of the day, when the air was getting better it was +750 according to the weather station I was looking at.

I didn't follow it closely though, because I was making my own atmosphere.

The car at etown was running with a bad altenator LOL I used dragtiimes.com to calc the DA . I guess it's not too accurate

Any progress is good progress, congratz. Lower DA's are on the way for sure.

I used dragtiimes.com to calc the DA . I guess it's not too accurateThe calculations are potentially accurate but unfortunately the actual measuring devices that they're using for the raw data/numbers might not be.
If the track had it's own weather station and that information was readily available to Dragtimes I would say it's dead on accurate but if the numbers they're using to arrive at these DAs were retrieved from a weather station located on top of a pole 30 feet in the air over in Mount Holly which is roughly 10-15 miles away then of course the numbers might not be 100% correct.
By the same token, I don't feel that the handheld unit that Steve is referring to was entirely accurate either as it might've been reading a little high in my opinion based on how my and other cars ran. Though it was the highest humidity (not a huge factor in determining DA) and it was actually raining at that point (yes, I did actually make a low 11 second pass in the rain :eek: :D).
My guess is that yes, in the morning it might've been around a -500 DA but later on it definitely went higher. :nod:

If i'm wrong and the DA was a best of +50 i'm even happier lol December 3rd will be a blast. Maybe I can get my lexan and a-arms in by then.

check the weight savings for the upper arms before you spend your money on them, from what I remember they don't save any weight and I still have the stockers in because of that.

That car lighter will be that much better, can't wait to see what it runs in Dec.

Stock arms have rubber bushings which create some resistance. With 95 inches less then your monster, he needs all the help he can get.

Congrats man!I about shit when I got the text of what you ran. thought someone would have posted up some video by now. looking forward to seeing some video from the rental

nice vids

Marc
http://tinypic.com/r/35lw17p/4Thanks again Phil, that video is quite important to me at the moment as I didn't get any time slip on that pass (or the one after it) and that footage shows my highest trap speed to date (which up until just now I'd actually thought was the 123.61 that I got on that last pass in the rain LOL) so far. :thumb:

Congrats!!!! That car is really movin

Phil,

Excellent video.
I didn't even know it was posted in here until Marc told me.

Good stuff.

Thanks - Steve
