Default Drag racing videos from Memphis - 5500 rpm clutch dumps :)

Thanks to Paul for taking these pretty cool videos of my car at last weekends F-body.org event. Here are three videos of my best passes:

11.484@115.13 (1.62 60')

11.482@115.50 (1.59 60')

11.481@115.92 (1.64 60') - bumped revlimiter on 1-2 shift; need revlimiter at 7000. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

All of those passes were with ~5500rpm clutch dumps. The car still has alot left in it as it is still spinning quite a bit. Track prep could have been a little better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The 28" Hoosiers and 4.56s are one fun ride. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Looks you were spinning a car length in some of the vids, make me think you have 11.3's in the car at a hooking track, very impressive!!!!

Awesome! You are definitely spinning some but those 60's are still sweet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> .. are you sure that car is still a 6speed?? DAMN, it sounds like an A4 going down the track. You sure can drive the hell out of it. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Running 11.4@115 shows you are getting every last ET out of the car based on the mph. Makes me wish I had a m6, but I'm too old to be driving like that. (if I could). <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> 11.3s easy when the car hooks.

Damn, that's sweet. Even with all the wheelspin you were still getting the hell out of there. Looked like you were going to drive off the track though. Still had your foot in it well passed the win light!!

Sweet runs!

Thanks for the compliments guys. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

derty, I was seeing far past the finish line I could go before hitting the revlimiter. I was just curious because of the new gear/tire combo. I had plenty room to spare.

How much ET did you drop from the 4.30's to the 4.56's?

swtvictory, I changed way too many things to get an accutate idea of what the gears did for me. I changed cams, gears, tires, clutch, tq arm, etc since the last time I raced. Also, the weather was much worse this time than it was back in February.

Kool vids! I had to wait until I got to work on the T1 connection before attempting to d-load the vids. Dialup sucks at home <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Definitely some spinnage going on, otherwise we would have seen some wheels hanging in the air!

Nice runs and great driving. Those times are bracket racer consistent. Not the easiest thing to do with an M6. Congrats. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

It has a stiffer pressure plate and a smaller diameter sintered iron disk than the production Rev-Lok II setup. It is working extremely well. Fireball and Coach 02 Z28 are also testing this setup out. Coach has had quite a few 1.53 60' on this clutch and over 50 passes with no problems. It is holding well for Fireball also(his Tq arm bent in half <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> ).

You might want to retitle that to pulling the wheel. I only see one wheel in the air. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
