7.90 is getting it done, especially when you're "not hooking"...

I'm shooting for 7.9's on nitrous on a good day. I ran 8.20's in 95* weather on a 1.93 60'.

 

[trombonedemon]

Sick, just sick.

 

[98COBRA281]

thanks guys

i tried to get a in car vid, but it only made the launch, then turned side ways to watch me make the 1-2 shift lol, then it flew out of the passenger head reast and landed in the back seat. sorry its kinda long and untill anything happens in the vid.

Nice! That vid is actually pretty epic, lol.

Very Nice! Your car sounds killer doing the burnout! I noticed you had your heater on before the pass, old school trick!

Something that you can do that will drop a little et and add a little mph, is just barely roll into the 1st amber light leaving the 2nd amber off. Then just barely roll into the next beam. You will actually get about a 8-10" rolling start, I guarantee you it will make a difference. I think you've got an 11 second car pretty easy come fall!

thanks man!

thats an excellent point!! i usually deep stage for some reason, i cant wait to try that out now!!

 

[BlownStangGT]

Nice! Nice 60' as well! I was going to go on Wed. but they are calling for a chance of storms so we will see....Im hoping to also get my 11 second slip along with some good 60' times....my best so far actually was 1.69 so with my suspension I was thrilled with that!

 

[KBExperience]

Nice video, gotta love the Doobie Brothers

 

[d98gt]

I would think that the weather is good for atleast .25 in the et if it was fair.

At HRP during the winter, we get some negative da which really helps times

 

[Mustang92]

The weather right now down here is flat out nasty. When my car was in 11.9 trim in this weather at this track I was running 12.2 at 110-111 so you aren't that far off at all.

What tires were you on?

Congrats that's getting it done with NPI heads!

i was running 17x9 fr500's on the front, and 26in M/T et steet slicks on the back with heavy a$$ steal rims.

i just sold my fr500's and slicks and bought a set of race star industires 15x 3.75 and 15x8 rims, with 165-80 fronts and 275-50 goodyear eagle ss drag radials!

And one more thing i just found out, both front brakes were DRAGGING during that pass! the rim would hardly spin when the tire was off the ground! maybe thats why i had no MPH that night!

 

[Rejekt]

Wow... nice!!

 

[nickmckinney]

Sweet, Nicky needs to see an 11 second pass from this car

 

[3ponyshow]

I like the vid. Now I know what it looks like to go faster than the speed of light!

 

[98COBRA281]

its coming!! the rear end is apart right now, its getting a set of 4:56's, hopfully with the lighter wheel and tire setup and cool weather this winter, it will happen
