Sweet i love going to the track

 

[Killercanary]

Nice! So what did you run? Our track opens this coming weekend and I can't wait!!!

 

[RFMustangGT]

A very disappointing 14.4 @98mph. I've got some issues in the getting off the line department. really bogs bad out of the hole.

Man that looks like a beautiful track! Supposed to snow tomorrow up here!!

Bristol was nothing but awesome to us Saturday! They had the track prepped and even had the scales open too! You guys that are close need to check out their Street Fights track days. 5 bucks to watch, 10 bucks to drag race all you want. They also have autocross set up on several of the events.

You need to launch it harder if its bogging. What RPM are you leaving at and what kind of tires? Wont be until May until I can go and race again...lucky

I don't remember what rpm I left at. I know it wasn't super high. I was on a set of pretty worn BFG KDWS tires. Thought I would finish these off before I buy a new set of tires.

what are you going to get for tires? Another set of street tires or just a set of DR's for the rack? Yeah bald street tires will kill your time especially your 60', what was that anyway?

 

[RFMustangGT]

best 60 ft I could get was a 2.1. Next set of tires are going to be a set of Falken Azenis RT-615s. Going to do some autocross this year and though this tire would be a good entry level tire. Plus, with a 200 treadwear, I bet it would hook ok at the drag strip. When Fun Ford Weekend rolls through in August, I'm going to have my chip burned for my mods and I'm also going to start looking for a new TB.

nice, your got a better time then i'd get i'm sure.

i would like to take it down within a month though, probably give it a quick tune up, and swap the rear end gears out.

i've gotta practice launching, i had it decent, till i started to launch higher so it wouldn't bog, now i'm just spinning. gotta lower the psi in teh tires though.
