Drag Racing Results - Few good launch pics on poor runs today!

Drove up to Hattiesburg,MS for that 9 sec pass..but missed 4th on the first pass and broke ANOTHER TQ arm bracket on the rearend! Also was trying a new material type clutch from RAM. Clutch was working awsome,but had a slight creap on the starting lin at launch RPM. First time to be towed off the track :emb: Going to making a better bracket and do some clutch\suspension adjustments for next weekend hopefully. After this,unhooked the Tahoe and made a few maiden\tuning passes! :)

how do you miss 4th?? hmmm maybe Roman and Alan have been talking ;)
:jest:

look forward to seeing that video!!!!!

Awesome launches. :D

awesome :)

That's bad ass! You'll be there soon enough. ;)

Man,even the best of us miss 4th actually, if I ease off pressure on the shifter as Iam shifting to 4th it pops out of 3rd. After that it won't go into 4th,darn pro shifted stuff :bang:

But thanks alot guys. I know its coming soon!

Hey dont feel bad, I missed 4th manually shifting about 4-5 times saturday at cecil. I keep hitting the spot between 2 and 4, or it just wouldnt go into 4th, and the one time I shifted to 6th. It had to be one of the most frustrating days at the track ever -- mix that in with traction problems because of a cold track, my FAST TB hanging my idle at 5k rpm, and finally culminating with me grenading my 12-bolt and having to get flatbedded over to Mikey's, and it wasnt a good day.

Anyhow, that first run of yours looked wicked until it was time for 4th...

Well theres always next time!! :drive:

i was just kidding alan! roman knows i have missed my share of shifts in my day. :D

awesome video! that is leaving hard! what kind of 60' times? oh and awesome shifting of that pro shifted trans! the shifts were instant!

Nice!

Here's a freeze from the 2nd vid..:eek2:

WOW..that just gives it a different take when you can stare at it!

1st pass was a 1.98 60' must have bounced the front tire over the beam and broke it with the back tires. 2nd pass was a 1.40. Hell I even stiffened the front shock up 1 click for the 2nd pass. Just need to get the new clutch hitting a little softer. :)

How much power are you making what kind size motor is this?

Just a little ole 550 rwhp 348 :D

Nice work Alan. Quit fuckin around on the net and beat Jason to the 9's N/A, then make that bitch legal for 8's and hose the fuck out of it.

BTW, I miss 4th more than any other gear. Dunno why...

how do you miss 4th? lol. Foot too slow for your hand eh? Nah, I think Alan had the seat all the way forward and he is STILl too short to reach the pedals properly. LOL

Alan, get those tires to your shop. I'm coming for them.

Great wheelies, Allan. :thumb: I agree, once you miss a gear with the pro-shifted stuff, it's all over. No going in to gear, might as well just coast. I was having a problem hitting 3rd 2 weeks ago. :bang: I think it was a mental thing (not having my mojo working properly).

I used to miss 4th a lot (grinnnnnd)... changed my seating position, it got better.

I hate i was out of town that weekend but we missed you there this weekend? Don't worry, the track was not there. Dana wound up breaking a wheel stud off the rear on the first pass and the 2nd pass he skated to the wall and had to get out of it. Hub scarped all the rubber off the starting line b/c it was peeling up. I don't know if you saw his uncle car the weekend you broke (red 35th aniv SS)? laid down a 10.88 N/A this sunday. He has about the same RWHP as my car.

Nice Allen. I understand about the pro shifted trans. That is why I have a turbo 350 now.

Coach

awesome :hail:

Very nice, Now I just need my car to do that

That is sweet. That thing leaves hard. Thanks for sharing the vids. Take care.
