Dude, that 13.8 is from the E550. The highest I got all day was a 13.44, I looked through all my slips. They numbered both our cars 16 for some reason as you can see from the pix.

Too funny man, it would have been hilarious to run against each other and have it say 16 vs 16 . lol.

50% of the stock 63's were running stock tires. Me and Greg on Dr's and Trez and Mo on stocks.

Jangy had superior 60 fts all day. 1.96 was my best and I can see from his slips he has got som low 1.9x.

Hey guys rather than discuss adnaseum , just post the timeslips excluding the 13.8 run that was clearly the E550. Two cars with the same number what a drag..Get it drag?

Yeah post up the slips , he beat you like you beat me........There wer two cars numbered 16, an E550 which you beat and then The Cls63 driven by Tan.

Your graphs are awesome but the timeslip is matter of fact and really tells the story better than we can by commenting on all the different parameters of the race. Tan or Jangy I know you can post your slips.....

that's what everybody keeps saying but i seem to be the exception to that rule. i run 1.71 on 19" street tires and 1.70 on 16" d/r's, both yielding the exact same et/mph.

So firebird is a crappier track but it hooks good.Speedworld is a better and faster track?

What 16" drag radials do you run? Wheels too?

yes, speedworld is consistently the quicker and faster track according to people that run both.

i run ccw's with micky t's. i'm not that impressed with the m/t's since they're not giving me any better launches than my toyo t1r's. i think i'm looking at the bfg's next.

My inlaws live out in Maricopa and I pass Firebird to get there,but have never stopped by to race.I have been to Speedworld...could it be any farther out in the sticks? lol Track was slippery at first but got better as the day went on,well until the guy rolled his car 6-7 times in front of me.Day over.

Hopefully Juicee and I can make it out next weekend.

I think it's a torque management thing, we need a little bit of wheel spin out the gate to trick the tcu. In our case i think the mt's are to good.

You and I had talked about this earlier.Why else cant we break past the 1.70 mark? Is the TCU sensing too much load,so it reacts by pulling timing or fuel or ? If so,how do we remove the management or fool it?

I have many more. It really all depended on my launch. If I got a good one, then I could hold off the 63s for that 1/4 mile. If I didn't, then they basically walked by after the 330.

You got my "juicees" flowing now. I have the entire front end off and looking for any way to add a cooling duct.
