lol damn... kicked off the track.


well its worth it to be fast.

 

For me, having an all around great car is more satisfying that a straight line car. My suspension (14k/14k) is horrible for drag racing-I get minimal squat which affects the launch, my car is "heavy", stock tranny, etc. Id rather have a 10.9 sec all around car than a 10.2 car that is gutted, feels like Im driving a tin can, has a fuel cell, etc. BUT I get your point, if I put my car on a serious diet, did a RACE gas 19psi tune AND sprayed it would be one nasty ****...next year I'll be doing 2 of those 3

btw-no issues with the tranny lift shifting, Im loving it, we'll see how much longer it holds up...

 

Great seeing that run bert and it was funny listening to the annoucer after say (looks like a roll cage for that guy).This was one hell of a fun night.

 

Congrats man. Those runs definatly look crazy fast.

 

Had a blast Keith, Im still laughing at you by how lit you were after that party Good stuff...Get that VB installed and come with me to MIR so we can set some sick times.

 

Berto u need to go to every track within a 300 mile radius and get kicked out of each one......

and of course have it all on tape.

 

We have 4 tracks in MD, next time I go if I get out of the hole good I'll stay in it and see what happens. If not I'll hit the brakes at the end. Of the 4 tracks in MD we have that I run at, 2 of them dont fawk around with the rules, 2 of them are 50/50...those are the ones Im hitting next.

 

Well now you see what happens when you dont eat anything all day. And yea im gonna install it this week so i dont hit that damn rev limiter on every run,plus i wanna be there when you hit 10.7,s...........on low boost.

 

Congrats man, def a 10 sec car with a clean straight run. Very impressive driving.

 

somehow i knew that statement, "my drag racing days are over after this" was not totally true.

 

Damn!1I just shat myself watching that run!!! Your nuts dude, much respect to you, wish we could have made it..Why dont you guys come up the first weekend in October, Etown has the fall import nationals.its only 5 mins from my house so if I need to run I can..

PS what did you weigh in at with you in the car??

 

The scales were not working.

 

Do you know the next time your going to capitol? I'll definatly come out just to get your runs on tape.

 

thats some great driving bud... wish i could get kicked off a track for those reasons.. lol

 

Congrats Bert and much better this time....to all those who want to drag race,when you watch the vid,right before he launches watch how he rolls into the staging light right before he launches.Thats an old trick but very affective for your 60's..Its called a deep stage. Great Job from start to finish....

 

Good eye coach.

 

Ron-thanks

daniel-you know Im hooked again what can I say? I have some plans for this one...did you guys think I just sleeved the motor for fun?

Thanks Julian-that launch felt to good to let off man! Let me say once again thank you for your "contribution" towards our track day, it helped pay for 3 hours worth of lighting!

I have an idea on what it will weigh. With Greddy TT, 11.5lb battery, no pass seat, slicks out back, all crap gutted in the back it weighed 3280lbs WITHOUT me last fall. Now the car has pass seat in, stock battery, all the panels, extra stuff in it, even floor mats and trunk mat that I had pulled out last time, I removed NOTHING only swapped tires.

Id guess 3350lbs if not more. So approx 3550lbs with me in it, as soon as I get near scales I'll hop on. I also NEED to run with more gas than Id like thanks to stupid TN canister mod starving of gas at 1/4 tank or less...I'll consider coming up to NJ, but to be honest Id prefer to have a trailer in case anything breaks and I dont have one-but am looking into one. We will get on a track one day man.

ajcool2-Capitol is my last choice cuz I know some people there and dislike most of them-AND I dont like locals that I mess with at meets/the "races" to know what I run. Of course some of them do come on this site but whatever...plus they are strict with roll bars.

coach-once again THANKS for advice...

 

Congrats man! I see 10's in your near future.

 

nice run man
