We discovered a number of things tonight..1) I'm a sh*t drag racer who doesnt know how to stall it up properly and launch it2) my convertor might be a little too tight for drag racing (its approx 2400rpm)3) the right lane @ calder = sh*t (refer to last calder episode thread)So far the best time slip I have is60foot: 1.805660foot: 7.249 @ 99.17mph11.170 @ 124.21mphOn my very last run I launched with 2600rpm.. But being in the right lane first time tonight, Apparently I had a 2.78 60foot.. Funny that considering everything from my centre console was now in the rear seat on that launch.. Also got 125.4mph on that run as well(101.2mph mid track). The higher MPH obviously shows the massive cold change in tempreture being 11pm at night.Either way, as per last calder episode, I would have LOVED to known what 60foot my car REALLY did. Obviously with a BETTER 60foot time, I would have been quicker. As an example, I had 1 run with a 1.93 60foot, being 1 tenth slower than the 1.80, and I ran a 11.40ET.. So the rule of 1 tenth in the 60foot = 2 tenths in the ET seemed to be working quite well.. Based on that calculation.. IF I got a 1.7 60foot, that would equate to a 10.9x.The MPH is there for it.. the launch / driver skill is not! At the end of it all, I'm still very happy how it all turned out Edited 27/06/08 04:42 PM by Headsex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keep in mind, tuning is only half the story. His car is more setup for drag racing than mine is.. Bigger stall convertor, different diff gears being the main differences.His bigger stall convertor and diff gears gives his car a massive advantage in the 60foot at the drag strip.. I believe his was a 1.6 60foot.. 2 tenths quicker 60foot than me, hense why his ET was 4 tenths quicker (drag racing mathmatics).Imagine he could cut a 1.5 60foot.. THAT would take the unopened record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitty 2 cars decided to leave parts of their motors on the track which probably wasted a good hour. But the last session was nice and cold. Was good to see some fast N/A V8's running 10's too.Thumbs up for effort Danny. You trying again with that donk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the abovementioned mofo's had of told me about the right lane, I would have moved, but I still would spin. I had a mate drive the last run, so I could watch, and the wheels spun for the first 20mtrs! 2.2x 60ft, while my best 60 was 1.986! New MT's I think are needed, even with the sticky track.

Posted 27/06/08 10:29 PM Share Posted 27/06/08 10:29 PM 1Michael, I ran a 12.2, so atleast I was no slower than my pb.But to say I was deflated would be an understatement! I could have punched a hole in the concrete barrier lastnight!In the car, all I could feel from launch was , soft, soft, soft, whoahh fkuk! I will be organising my own set of MT's very soon, and then should have no excuse.I was able to see 5-7 psi at stall, but it spun. The last run, Heath stalled and left the line with only 2psi showing on the guage, and it spun like a dervish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
