    Not to shabby right

     



    I took my 2500 lbs fat car to Test and tune today, the engine has about 100 miles on it so I took it kinda light but heres the time

    RT: .511
    ET: 7.56
    MPH:91.5

    I rolled on the throttle lightly well kinda, with cold tires.

    Sorry 3500 Lb fat car not 2500 my fingers are fat to.

    well id give you an accurate time from my toyota tonight but you would have to figure in the quarter mile burnout

    i did a 15 flat in the quarter at 89 mph but i burned the tires through second, next week im going to throw on the slicks and flash the converter i should drop my et down a couple of seconds
    im not complaining too much all my toyota is, is a high powered go kart im not trying to accomplish anything untill my rx7 is done!
    Ill take rust any day over that itchy ass fiberglass!

    OOPS!!! Sorry Otto, great light dude. I consider my RT's to be good if I leave on the right day???? If I were to get serious about drag racing again, first thing I would have to do is hire a good driver!!!!

    Kenny, with that power to weight ratioyou should get mid to high 8's ifin ya can keep the tires on

    Shellbell, I'm from Oregon origianaly so I know all about weather Delays

    Dave, no big deal, the first time I saw my RT from this track it messed me up bad, I was pulling 1.5's I was trying not to red light so bad I was failing my RT, After about 10 race's I got it down to the low .5's

    Hey Streets, went to do the old deep stage deal last summer test hammerin a friends car and the NHRA dude really unloaded on me!!! Was it just the track, or is deep staging no longer acceptable??? Does this mean we can't put a inch or so lead on the right front no mo?? Sheeesh.

    K Tech, thanks. But what does this do for me??? Like Streets said, did it mostly just playing head games with the other lane. Or is it all because the starters are just tired of all the staging and starting antics????
