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.
