  • Another Personal Best for Luda!!!!

    Went to the local 1/8 drag strip one last time tonight to hang out with some friends before I leave. I was hoping for consistant 8.7x's with the possibility of 1.9 60's.....did even better!!

    Dual stage 125 shot, minor weight reduction and 35 psi in Nitto 555R drag radials.

    Run 1: :eek:
    60'....1.98 <--- pb
    1/8....8.51 <---- pb
    trap...82 mph <---- pb


    That run kicked azz!!

    Run 2:
    60'.....1.97
    1/8....8.54
    trap...82 mph

    Run 3:
    60'....2.06
    1/8....8.71
    trap...80 mph

    Run 4:
    60'....2.03
    1/8....8.74
    trap...79 mph

    I made 2 more runs too, both were 2.0x 60's, 8.86 and 8.91.

    THEORECTICALLY, the 8.51 calculates to 13.19. If that holds true, I'll be completely satisfied with this car.

    Only problem was that my 2 friends noticed (and confirmed with video) that on my last 2 runs, the the passenger side wheel wasnt spinning during the burnout....not good. I dont know what thats about, but I'll take it to a mechanic to have them diagnose the problem.

    Overall it was a really fun night and I was flipping out when I saw 8.51 with a 1.9 60' since I was expecting 8.7's LOL.

    I have videos of the runs, but its a painful, time consuming process to get them onto my comp. I will do it eventually though.

                  Congrats on the new PBs, I'm guessing you blew your diffy.

                  I remember some videos of James running when he had a blown diffy, they were calling him the 1 tire fire.

                    Diffy is working fine now. I talked to a couple of people about it and they said that the clutches were just getting hot and slipping.

                    Everyone I have talked to said it was nothing to worry about since no noises can be heard.

                      Yea if it went back to normal it was heat induced, but definitely keep an eye on it.
