First Time Drag Racing
 

Well I finally took my car out drag racing. I was very nervous as I have never done it before. I ran just like it runs on the street. Just adjusted tire pressure. First run, at about 10 feet the tranny popped out of gear. Slammed it backin. 13.73 seconds 118 MPH. I was a little disappointed to say the least. Second pass much better, 12.2 at 118 mph. Third time 12.4 with tire spin, again 118 mph. Had a blast will do it agin.

Congrats Mike! Definitely an 11 second car with traction. :thumbsup:

That's awesome Mike. :thumbsup:

What tires were you running? What was your launch technique?

Funny Dave, it was so quick from getting the staging lights lit, then the yellows started. I just reved it a little and dropped the clutch. With more practice I am sure it would slow down. The tires are my street tires Goodyear Eagle F1 300TW.

Mike, that's very respectable. It's hard to get these protouring cars out of the hole. What was your 60 foot?

Mike, that's movin MPH bro--I'd be very happy with that for sure. What was your 60ft time?

What do you know anyway???????? :_paranoid

Great question there Douglas. :lol:

I only know how to throw a party. The rest I make up as I go--like Dave.

I am working on the race car though---are you coming to RTTC in Oct? If so, I may have something more to show you in the garage at that time. BTW--going to need the brakes for the Chicayne---That's all I currenly know for sure.
