Launch Photo from the track

[25thmustang]

Sorry guys, not my car. We went to the track the other day and ran at an event we set the rules for. The temps were high, and the Altitude was 3100-4100 all day. Needless to say my day sucked, went 12.74 and 12.80 on my only two clean passes. I did snag a 1.692 60' with the 18s out front and 17" ET Streets out back. Not bad for NO weight transfer...

Now onto good weight transfer. My dad got the car dialed in and at OVER 4000' elevation he went 10.10 @ 134. The 60' I'm not sure, he was going low 1.4xs all day, but we grabbed this photo of the car. Not bad for an all motor van block with a set of AFR185s!

Oh yeah, nice pic. I love a car that has a nice nice straight look when it lifts the fronts, none of that limp lean going on there your dad's car is sick, very clean and get the job done at the track

your dad's car was my wallpaper for quite awhile. What's he running for suspension peices? I'd love for my car to pull the wheels like that!

Dang thats a great shot of the car... I think i just got a chub

 

[NotQuik]

great picture and clean car...i'm also curious as to what his suspension set up consists of.

Nice pic, but how the hell do people get those launch pics? I have a feature on my Sony digital that you just hold the button and it snaps like a photo every second or faster. Is that how?

 

[25thmustang]

As for how they get the pictures, I'm not sure. I assume the track guys are either very good, or have something that snaps multiple ones over a series...

The suspension set up I can get from him. He would know all the part names and numbers. I can tell you the rear is nothing special, adjustable control arms, shocks, anti roll bar etc... the front has a tubular K and A arms, coil overs, race brakes, and caster cambers... We had issues with the suspension and the car wouldn't go straight under full throttle. Paid to have it set up right and the car runs dead nuts down the track...

I have only driven the car one time (10.000 @ 134) but can assure you it is a blast to drive. Shifting gears in it is more fun than should be had.

I have never driven anything that quick before. Best I ever did was in a Pro Charged C5 Z06 (friends) and did an 11.20 and I almost peed myself the launch was so hard! A 10 flat must be a thrill ride!

Great launch pic!!! NA dam whats the full engine setup if u dont mind sayin

i cant wait to make a pass wit my new setup:Track:

 

[25thmustang]

Yeah the 10.00 felt great. I had gone 11s before that, but that run was real fun. I don't get to drive it again until my dad is comfortable behind the wheel enough. He is using me as his test, to see how well he drives. LOL.

The combo is: 351 block. 393 stroker with nitrous pistons, 6XX lift solid roller, Ford Racing intake, Custom carb, AFR 185s, Jericho 4-speed, Mcloed soft lock clutch, built 8.8 with 4.10s, long tubes, suspension listed above.

Car was built to throw a little juice at it. It was also built to run safe. Only shift it in the mid 6000 RPM range.

DANG!!! Im lookin forward to gettin back to the track hopefully this weekend and start workin on the ole drivin again! Wanna try and get those 60s more consistent like we talked about before. Ide KILL to have my car pull just one tire as it sits and then get a shot of it for my computer!!! Any launch shots of yours???

[ill advised]

Awesome shot. I wonder if I'll ever get to experience the feeling of a launch like that.

 

[1990Coupe]

that car is balls nasty in person

 

[25thmustang]

No actual photos of my car, although I haven't checked the tracks website. Mine looks like nothing though.

Justin, you should see it now that I hit it with some cleaning products. Looks a good bit shinier!!
