From the looks of the starting line guy w/ the mop, he was cleaning up your mess well b4 there was a top end problem...

Water only??

 

Its a she and she does that every pass.

 

Ya I dont think he watched the vid b4 posting. It got a bit out of shape right of the line but nothing too crazy. It was when the fitting pushed out on the big end that **** got real scary real fast.

 

What rim/tire set-up are you running, AC?

 

That's why heat is bad for your health!! Gut all that out, make it lighter, faster n safer!! Lol.

 

Greg Weld Fronts with MT sportmans,, and rears are Race Stars with 275/60-15 MT Drag Radials.

True but I need the heat for my skinny *** to stay warm and defrost the windows. LMAO!

 

O man I was just at dagrove on the 21st. Track didn't stay that night they were doing some sorta ricer race that night. I'm now done for the season and probably most of next but good luck with fine tuning your set up. Maybe u will have bettor luck on slick night

 

tap the holes and use a screw in fitting of some sort

 

Cool were you one of the red TAs or that GTO? It was the first Import RSD.

 

I dont see anything wrong staying in it if it was going straight.
Glad you kept the shiny side up.

 

I was the red TA with the Hoosiers on the rear. Some Honda guy wanted to race for $20 and was thinking we ran the same times.

 

I would tend to agree and after getting time to see the vid better, the car did not look that bad. Which is a good thing but what I will say is at least on a competitive basis.

Once you spin the tires, the run is blown, its not going to recover and all he is doing is beating on the car. Also to mention, IF there was coolant or oil on the track or sub-par track conditions, having the car going back to WOT could induce spin again.

In the end we all gotta find a point where we feel comfortiable with but I just hate to see anyone either break, blow up, or crash. That is my feeling in general no matter who it is.

I think he will get this figured out very soon. I think the DR will take time to master as I have see nitrous cars react in similar fashion to stick cars, they like to blow the tires off. So they may need the same level of attention to parts and settings for the suspension.

 

Glad to see you came out OK! Good lesson for me, as I just ran a hose from the heater inlet to outlet on my water pump. I will rethink the tappin and plugging option.

 

If it wasnt my last pass of the night I might have gotten out of it but since it did recover I said **** it and the car was on a mission until that hose let go. As far as beating on the car, I dont mind thats what I built it for. lol Not to mention I have a brand new forged/splayed/filled 383 waiting to go in. Just finishing the season with the 355 in the car.

I spoke with Madman and Im going to change the rear shock settings next time out so it doesnt unload like it did. I was actually suprised it recovered so fast on the DRs being 40* out and not many people at the track keeping it warm and most there were on street tires.

 

Me too and thanks!

Your car looks/runs good! I think that was the guy next to me in the pits with the black civic and alum shroud on the front? Pretty sure he was in the low 10s

 

If he was in the low 10s that's impressive especially for a lil rice rocket. That was another night that I came home with bent/ twisted wheel studs. What are u hoping to run next year

 

I would like it to go mid 9s but ya never know until I get it out. It should do it though.
