Impressive time, you will be in the tens soon
I'm planning on racing again this coming Saturday.. The weather is forecasted to be a lot hotter and more humid.. This will cost me some time, but I can't wait to see what the car will do without getting off the gas...

Very good run Oliver and you will no doubt be in the tens very soon. Posts like this are not part of technical but I like them. If we can talk about our modifications and then not post on the results or have to go to another section of find those posts what is the use of following someones modification never to hear the result such mods make???
Mods were are a techinical section but we should be allowed to post what results we also get from the modifications.
I am about to take my car off the stands and some might like to hear what differences the roll cage and the tires made. Am I to post somewhere else with these results??
I don't go into the General section much so I will miss posts like this.

Norval, I agree with you..
The section is called Tech/PERFORMANCE.
Drag Race results and Dyno results should definetely be allowed in that section. What sense does it make if you post about all the mods/changes if you have to post about the results in another section????
I wasn't really a supporter of the split because of situations like that... Unfortunately many tech posters don't check C3 General...

Great numbers, O:
I'm guessing that woulda been a mid-.90 @ 122-ish!

Great run!

You know, that sucker is already awful light...no fair discarding parts on the way down the track!!

Looks like you have it hooking well......I bet there are some mid/high 1.40's in it for 60's.

Looking forward to seeing that 10 sec run!!


Congratualtions!

I might try the transbrake this coming saturday.... but haven't decided yet... That should get me in the 1.40 60' range with the wheels off the ground... I'm going to loose a tenth or two for the warmer weather this coming weekend... No more cool temps.. Mid 80's are expected...
I hope to pick up .2 or .3 with the transbrake and .1 if I won't go off the gas during the pass, but I expect to loose .2 - .3 due to the temperature.. so I could be in the 10.90 range indeed... Next winter, I want to get into mid 10's... I still have to find a way to get the Super Victor CNC under the hood. According to my builder, that should give me at least .2 - .3 (20 - 30 HP) at the track.. I'm choking the engine with the Victor Jr. The runners on the Jr. are just too small for this angry engine
I'm sure that 10.50 is possible on engine only.. That's not too bad for a naturally aspired mouse .

I wasn't a fan of the split either and don't regularly check this section anymore. If I didn't see your post moved from the other section I would have missed it completley.
I would like to see performance posts left in the tec section.
