Went racing and had a eventful day.
was a street tire day and i didn't add the extra weight to the trunk. Instead i decided that i would just take off in 2nt gear. That should take enough torque out of the launch that it should go............Nope spun most of the 1/8 in second gear:steering:
Street tire weekend, is kinda like a no prep. unprepared track, no water in burn out box.
So back to the story.
leaving in 2nt gear and still feather the throttle out of the hole to get any kind of traction. As the day went on the track got better and i was able to leave the line by just rolling the throttle in at the start.
Then the next run i i hit the rev limiter in every gear and not just a little but bad. when back to the pits and rev it up in N.
My Revinator ign box has gone bad. So my spare orange box go's back on and problem solved!
About this time a guy in a Hell Cat Challenger wanted to run me. Never afraid to get my as whooped, said sure.:D
Amazingly i beat him out of the hole and pulled on him at half track. But when i hit high gear, that super charged hell cat came charging hard and bet me by a half a car length!
My reaction stunk badly, and he only bet me by half a car length.......so i cooled down the car and checked my tire pressure. while i'm doing that,he's pulling every thing out of the trunk and kicked his wife out of the passenger seat.
Well i tree him pretty good and got out on him a bit. Got it into high gear, and look in my rear view mirror. He is coming on fast and just clipped me at the finish line. only this time he beat me across the finish like by .062 of a sec. the first time he bet me by .237 or basically 2 tenth of a sec. If i would have had my real slick on he would never caught me.
Lost both races and was having the time of my life :D
Mother nature said that was enough and ended the day.
I had my Go Pro under the car for most of the races. the last two are racing the Hell Cat. I unhook it from the bottom of my car and took a small video of his car. Sorry for the gravity defying video:wtf::lol:
