 << Previous Thread - Water Car Anyone?   Next Thread - couple vids from my first track outing >> 

I went to the track for the first time ever!!

:-)

it was hella fun...over 125 cars were there today...which kinda sucks cause i only got two runs in.

i did get to see a jet powered dragster go...that was fuckin neat!

and saw a few 7 second motorcycles go as well!

as for me...


Run 1...my first time on a dragstrip EVER!

RT: .174
60': 1.987
330: .000
1/8: 8.449
mph: 84.32
1000: 10.969
1/4: 13.074
MPH: 107.19


2 hours later i got my second run lol...

Rt: -.144
60': 2.021
330: 000
1/8: 8.419
mph: 85.18
1000: 10.916
1/4: 13.000
mph: 108.81



vids are coming soon i hope.

mods: pacesetter headers, GMMG exhaust, whisper lid, filter, UD crank pulley, and 3.73 gears...it is a 4l60e car with 112,000 miles on it. race weight was 3660.


i think i found a new sunday activity :-0



on another note...i really wish i had been able to take the sixer to the track :-( at least once.

Sarav, how hard is it to follow Nietzsche? I read Machiavelli's The Prince earlier this year, and the only thing that was clear was to not trust mercenary infantry while fighting on the peninsula.

first run was without the whistle tips, cyclone, and ebay computer chip....

If you had a highly modified distributor you would be in the 12's already and beating vettes.

^I've been seeing that for a while now.
They're really expensive if you buy them new, though.
And I haven't tracked any used sets down yet.

I agree with Pocket, you're 60' was damn good for your cherry-popping run.

It will be your sunday activity till your transmission dies, then you'll get a new tranny/big stall and break your driveshaft. You'll get a new DS, only to break your rear-end VERY soon after.

It's addicting, but expensive...cocaine is a helluva drug!

When his tranny breaks, it's getting a T-56 swap. wewt.

^ I can launch a stick WAY better than I can launch an auto. You can get a feel for traction better with a manual and adjust on the fly...once you lift in an auto, the run is over because it might shift 2 second, etc.

^Just keep it in "1" and once you have traction, throw it to "D".

That's what I do.

His runs probably would of been .1-.2 slower if a normal sized person were driving it.

jeremiah: i was on bf goodrich all-season tires at 35 lbs.

cmerc: i wanted to blow the motor on the sixer...and the trans...and the rear end. i think the blower + spray + slicks woulda accomplished all that.

i'm trying to upload the videos but uh...see my other thread


jackie...best for last...IM ALREADY ADDICTED!

First thing that I noticed was the 60'... not too bad! My first run at the track was like a 5.8 60', haha.
