Im not being an *** here really im not, but why is a 12 flat pass in a 400 hp car so amazing to everyone?

 

Simple-find 1 other Z on this site who has run 11's down the 1/4 with less than 400whp Post your findings <----not being an a$$ either

 

Robert video wont go through my best email server sorry man. Just open the link let it buffer start/stop playing one time all the way through then watch it. I know it sucks but its free. Ill put these on a CD for people if they want them at the next meet.

damn charles that second run was prolly the worst red light i have ever seen lol,sorry guys for yesterday i got toasted.

 

Never let friends DRINK and TYPE...

 

Next time out we'll have better times from all...

 

well one thing ill never drink and drive.learned my lesson the hard way 18 years ago.

 

It was a combination of a slight redlight on my part and the MR2 driver sleeping at the light. I'm told that the tree at MIR is different then the tree at Capitol, which would explain me redlighting all damn day.

 

just pulling your chain bud.

 

Well Im sure theres not alot of 1/4 mile drivers here either. Simply take your weight, gearing and horsepower and calculate a time you should be running and you are right there. Nothing amazing about it. Bert your a decent driver no doubt and im not taking anything away from you, but your right were you should be.

 

Actually IMO Im .1-.2 away from where I should be but that will come later. There are less than 5 turbo Z's faster than me down the 1/4 within the Z online community, all TT's with 430+whp. Many people drag their Z's we have some good drivers on these boards, unfortunately its all too common to see TT's pushing 400+whp and not coming anywhere near 11's-even with DR's.

So what every happened with your situation are you getting a new car or what? Going with JWT twins I hear Id like to see you out at a track day in a few months.

 

What times do you run? Are you right where you should be? "Not trying to be an ***."

 

Wanted to add because I dont know what your drag racing experience is like. Those calculators are junk imo, Ive typed my exact info in to many and the #'s are way off. Many people may think its easy to run good times I always hear "all you need is slicks or DR's" truth be told thats not the case for all. Like I said above Id like to see you out at a track day, lets see what kind of times you can pull

 

Not certain about the Christmas tree at Capital, but the tree that day was a standard 0.50 second sportsman's tree. The only other choice (BamBam and I spoke to the staff in the tower) was a Pro Tree. Probably not a good choice for first time racers.

 

David-you know what threw me off, was the timeslip printouts. Usually they display a perfect light on a sportmans tree as .500, anythin under being a redlight. But a .500 in thier printouts would have been a .000 anything negative was a redlight. Thats why many guys including myself for a while at first were reading them like

 

Nice vid bert, "why dont you break an axle buddy?"..... wasnt it hard enough that I couldnt break a 13.9 at the track? lol Jp. Perfect way to end the vid, we all need to meet up soon, I miss the shananigans

 

where have you guys been lately.

 

Workin, and I'm 2 weeks out from my show in Philly. I'll be hangin out again real soon.
