The track prep sucked. First pass I went 10.1 @ 150, spinning the slicks through 3rd and 4th. 2nd pass was worse, never put it into 4th gear and went 10.6.. Car felt like it was ice skating..
Jake went 9.30 @ 160 though, testing out the new transmission for my car.. Once we get some cooler temps and good track prep, the red dragon will be in the 8's.. On the plus side, that was a big turnout for a summer event! |
i'm on car forum for the cars :thumbup:.. i can see boobies when ever, but thanks anyway
damn, for the track not being prepped good those are still some amazing times.. so no pics/vids joe? |
Track was great...If you turn the power way down lol. I ran a 10.1 @ 144 with 19-20 pounds of boost. Stupid boost controller wasn't working correctly for some reason. Oh well, things could have gone way worse.
Always nice to see everyone come out, I think the turn out was really good. Lets get some more race cars out! |
Hey henry was that your best time that night? I heard u ran a low 9...
|
Henry ran a low 9 in the 330' I bet, lol.
I dont have any videos, but I'd like to see some of Jakes car if anyone took them, especially when it was throwing sparks after it tried to tear the motor out of the car by bending the sheetmetal on the drivers side framerail.. I'm disappointed that Honda didnt design the EK chassis to withstand 1000+ hp, lol. |
2Cams, how's that car coming along? You still waiting on my pal Ken?
|
Oh no! I'm waiting on my self now... your "friend" Ken Ken is done with his part... but you guys will see my car in the 9s before the end of the year... 9.9999999999999999999999999999 but but still 9s. Hope to have the car completed, up and running by August and we will hit the dyno by the middle of that month...
|
you still sticking with 67mm
|
the dark blue eg ran 9.20...
|
post em!!
|
Yeap, how's your car doing?
|
should be running in a couple weeks
|
the track prep definately sucked it seemed like everyone i talked to had traction problems
|
R u making some changes or something happened ?
|
when i rode in the car he barely even chirped 2nd and then rode the clutch not trying to talk shit just saying. i dont know what you consider spinning
|
made some changes mostlly for the car show ;)
|
well i had 20 people asking me why my brother was spinning so much.. then he said he only got a 15.1 @ 95, and that car does consistant 14.8s @ 96 with him driving.. so to have the same trap speed as his 14.8s then something clearly went wrong off the line (60ft).. so maybe my bro wasn't doggin it when you rode with the one time..
ps who is this? |
He got sponsored by "RG's Polishing, Powdercoating, and Annodizing".....They hooked him up pretty good.
J/K...Your car is gonna look pretty sick man! |
Oh, forgot "wire wheeling" too. RG does it all.
|
doesnt spinning cause a slower time and higher MPH? not slower time and slower MPH... anyways i cant imagine complaining about track prep when your car only usaully runs a consistent 14.8 lol
|
Correct spinning usually causes a higher MPH. You're kinda making the track "longer" in a way. Usually your E.T. will suffer though.
|
thats not true at all
i usually trap at 100mph-104mph but i ran on some shitty steelies and was traction less thru 4th and came in at 90-92mph |
i was told by both drivers that night that traction was no where to be found
so idk |
lol, yea got new wing and body kit to :roll:
|
like i said, he said he had never spun so bad in his life.. and for his first car, with stock motor it isn't bad at all.. people run different times big deal..
spin hard enough, and it can effect both oh yeah, forgot there was two drivers.. ahaha |
what size tires and how much power you making?
|
maybe he shouldnt take shitty steelies to the track. maybe that was your problem. i mean really, the only people who should be bitchin about track prep is the high horse power cars who have stacks into there slick setup. not someone who grabbed a set of steelies out of there homies backyard with probably shitty tires. Anyone actually serious about drag racing should have a set of drag radials or slicks, something with soft rubber and sticky when warm. thats what the track is prepped for. im sure that high 14 second car would never spin on some 22in slicks. then he could be here tellin us how he hooked and broke shit
|
You should race ced...
|
first off i am definatly serious about wat i do
i spun with my slicks too when i went to the track on the last wednesday event i was supposed to have some slicks there but my boi didnt sho up im not bitchin about the tracks condition i wasnt gonna catch traction on some 13in steelies and that has nothin to do with wat we were talkin about we talkin bout HIS trapspeeds and 1/4 times and he is not on steelies |
