Three video's and some pics of mine drag racing from yesterday

[Slow5.0]

Yesterday I run three times on worst truck in PA meybe in USA , people there broke a lot tranny's and rear end
Last year I run there 15.4@90 with street setup 4000lbs (thats with speakers in the trunk and full tank of gas) and Nitto DRs at 35psi, I didn't take anything out b/c I wanna see can I runn better than last year and I runn a lot better
On this track nobody don't have good traction and this track is about .50 slower than one other track in Thompson OH wich I going almost every weekend
Here is some numbers
2.1 60ft
9.4@72
14.9@92

2.2
9.5@72
15.0@92

2.2
9.5@72
15.1@91 (I shifted in 4th earlyer at 5000rpms , have to be 5200)

Weather yesterday was 75F and mine nittos give me good traction but still kinda high
Last month I run in Thompson OH on cold day 45F and I run
2.1
9.3@??
14.7@93
So next time when I make trip to track in Thompson I will run much faster because other ****y track is .50 slower than this one

Here is three videos against my buddy's 91' Stang GT 5 speed , 95' Cobra and 96' V8 T-Bird auto ,like you can see mine car was first on finish line

Enjoy

Nice pictures and videos. That track is actually pretty cool, not sure how it is to drive on but it looks pretty relaxed and casual to me.

What happened to thoes cars on the launch? Didnt get any traction cause you pulled a lot on them right there. The 2nd vid doesnt work (for me at least)

All video's works now
91 GT , 95 Cobra and 96 V8 T-Bird have street tires and they have little bad launch but they are slow too, I dno't know why

Nice vids and pics.

 

[go.rei GT]

So, where's the video of that '04 Cobra putting the smack-down on ya?










j/k Good Stuff!

 

[Slow5.0]

Hehehe , he was too slow , just kidding, we didn't race because he was tryin kick some Chevy a$$es like 00 Camaro SS and some other
He is way faster than me

 

[go.rei GT]

That's alright-> you're still n/a, and I noticed that SS next to him. So did it top his 12.9?

 

[mackey]

You definitely gotta take some weight out of the car and the 2" lowering springs don't help.

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

4000 pounds????? what do you eat?

[JJ95GTID]

Nice pics and vids
Are those 275/40 Nitto's on your stock wheels? I have the same wheels and was planning on having a shop here widen them to 17x11s so I can run 315s' out back.
I am borrowing a friend's 275/40R17 BFG Comp T/A DRs' mounted on 17x9" wheels for my next race in a couple weeks. Hoping to do better than my best 60' which is 2.0sec.

 

[Slow5.0]

Yes I have stock 17x8 tribars with 275/40/17s Nitto DRs, it fit good,
Hey how you get 2.0 60ft and just 15.0@92

 

[mackey]

Does that mean i can fit 275 nittos on my 17x8 98 GT wheels???? I will be really happy if i can. Also, where is a good place to buy them online? I need some way to cure my 2.6 60's

Yep, I've been putting 275 on my 17x8 since I got them. They fit fine. What rpm are you launching at? 2.6 is *****ty...especially for drag radials.

 

[JJ95GTID]

2700' elevation is how 15.0s' happen. There is a correction factor that can be found on the NHRA website. It brings my best ET down to something like 14.5sec and the trap speed to around 95mph. I have about 40 runs down the 1/4 so my launch is getting better. My average 60' is 2.2sec but my best is 2.0 on stock 245/45 rubber. I just need to get my R/Ts' down.

I just noticed something else on the pic of your car. How much pressure did you have in your tires(rear)? It looks like you might have let a little too much air out. I've gotten the best results out of my DRs at about 18-20psi.

Thats mine last run and before that run I drop from 35 to 20psi and thats launch ,no traction at all on this track , my buddy with 04 Cobra with CAI and Magnaflow cat-back and 315/35/17s Nitto DRs have same 60ft like my 2.1
