Default Loss vs Monte Carlo race car

Shitty burnout, got treed, shitty traction, everything that could have gone bad went bad this run. Monte is a low 6sec 1/8 high 9sec 1/4 on one kit. We'll go again soon, he pushed a bunch of oil out the valve cover breather which was the smoke, lol.

You didn't get treed, he jumped the hell out of that race. And he's on a 100 shot huh? Did I tell you how I found out me and obama are related so I now live in the white house and drag race his popemobile limo? 100 shot my ***.

This, I watched it a few times and slowed it down and his nose is moving when the flaggers elbows start to move. MC guessed when his arms would drop and was very close

Trust me, it was only 100. his car has 2 or 3 kits on it and is pretty light. it has no accessories, no alternator, etc. race car. We're going to run them again sometime in a couple weeks.

Is it a high comp/built to the hilt race gas or E85 engine? I've had a few friends with race monte carlo's: they weigh in the 2600-2800lb range with a cage which is where I assume his car is. Which means he is only a few hundred lighter then you.

I guess if he is around 500rwhp N/A then his 100 shot gives the typical 100+rwhp boost then the results here with you guys effectively tied (with a even launch) could be above board. I'm just so used to people lying out there *** that my BS flag rechambers faster then my AR15.

Sounds like he's got a solid 8 second car if he had more top half power: 5.8 in the 1/8 is what my friends 8.7 second ZX14 runs. The run you guys did it looked like you both were fighting for traction for most of the run, with his lighter less stable car having a harder time of it.

Good runs. Does look like he jumped a bit, but either way, good run.

Awesome race. Definitely looked like the Monte moves before the arms started to drop.

Must be a pretty stout 406 to be outrunning you on just a "100 shot". Subscribing for rematch

Cool video. Both cars definitely run well.

What kind of camera mounts did you use?

those were just suction cup mounts. I have hard mounts too, but we didnt use those for this pass.
