Yeah, hi. All right, first let me give you the slip, then I'll explain.

Reaction time: .663
60-foot ET: 1.772
330-foot ET: 4.928
1/8-mile ET: 7.548
1/8-mile MPH: 94.49
1000-foot ET: 9.799
1/4-mile ET: 11.699
1/4-mile MPH: 119.04

Now, then. This pass was made today (Feb. 9th, 2002) at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, TX. Raceweight was 3206. Hey, if the A4 guys can do it, so can the M6 guys. This pass was made on 26 x 11.5 x 16 ET Streets in 70-degree weather with the stock clutch and rear. And by stock rear I mean completely stock as in 3.42 gears. As far as I know, there is no video. But, I have lots and lots of witnesses including the esteemed Mr. John Campbell. As far as future goals: a strong rear with some steeper gears and more weight reduction and going after the combined bolt-on record. Take care now, bye-bye then.

Alan

 

Congrats Alan. John told me about your pass today. Man, your car is flying. Do you have a list of all of your mods?

If you plan on launching many more times on the ET Streets, you better start saving for that 12-bolt and a better clutch.

Damn impressive times!

 

Way to go Alan! You're car is amazing, makes me think I have a lot of work to do. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> I did run a 11.99 even with my car falling on its face, I still got a little room for improvement. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
BTW I'm glad we never got to line up together! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> (I woulda had to spray on ya)
Nice meeting ya today too!

Congrats. 119 mph with bolt-ons, 3.42 gear, and 70 deg weather? That's quite amazing.

 

<img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> Damn! Congrats man, that is impressive to say the least. What did you remove (weight)? Did you back it up? Very, very impressive considering the weak 60'. What were you crossing the traps at (rpm)?

Thats 6 tenths and 4 mph you picked up by just adding ET streets?

Justin <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

 

Whats up with that sig from "another" board?

 

Killer raceweight, and awesome times. I figure your car is about 200 pounds lighter than the previous record holder's car. Good Job.

 

Congratulations man, your car is flying, - you should be proud!

For any that don't know Alan he's a stand-up guy and is totally legit - I will vouch for him and his setup!

119 mph stock heads+cam!!!!


Chris

 

AWSOME time man <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> That MPH is insane with stock heads/cam.

Damn Alan. You're gonna have to fill me in on the weight removal secrets! I just realized my car weighs 200 lbs more than yours!! How you do that ****?? I'm gonna have to lose some weight and compete with ya! But I'm getting a damn roll cage so its gonna make it even harder. You plan on getting a cage any time soon?? I was in such disbelief of your time until I added it all up 11.9 (bogging bad) - 200 lbs (~2 tenths) = ~11.7 but how the hell am I gonna lose 200 lbs?
Hmmm carpet, console, k-member/a-arms & N2O bottle = 110+ lbs.
Will you do me a favor and post all of your weight reduction?

Here's mine... passenger seat, back seats, Draglites, side panels, back speakers/panels, hatch cover, winshield washer reservoir, front sway bar.
+ 12 bolt, Denny's Driveshaft, N20 bottle/TNT F1 kit. (+ chromoly cage soon)
I think the 12 bolt is adding at least 100 lbs, anyone know much much weight you gain with a 12 bolt??
Are there any other permanent weight reduction mods that I am missing, I hate pulling weight out to go to the track and then putting it back in.
Later, Justin

 

As far as I know he only got 2 passes. His first was 11.8x. He had to get the slip from his opponent becuase he was booted.

 

I have to vouch for Alan I was there to witness this record breaking pass! I couldnt believe my eyes when the time popped up on the big screen! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

That run was freakin AWESOME! Congrats Alan! Hurry up and by the other head from me! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Oh and get a clutch and a 12 bolt! I can see 11.5's or 11.4's with a 12 bolt(4.10's) and a clutch that grabs!

Congrats again!
Sean(Pig)

Did he make a deposit and bring one head back? I had mentioned that to him before so that we could all drool at it. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Darn nice runs. Congrats. You going with 4.10's or step up to something steeper like 4.33's or 4.56's?

Boy, I am getting stoked about the snow melting some day up here to get the car back out.

Good luck and take care.

 

Congrats Alan! I knew you would take the record this weekend. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Bad *** times for 3.42s/stock clutch. KICK *** raceweight!! I guess you did take the extra stuff out after we talked this week. LOL I knew you were debating it. I won't have a chance to go after that time since I just put a Thunder 224 114lsa cam in last week. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Good luck on going even faster!! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Talk to you later this week...

The list Sally provided shows every single little bitty thing I have done except on these 2 runs today I had 15 x 3.5 akinnies in the front and 26 x 11.5 x 16 ET Streets in the back.

Onyx, don't worry about your motor passes today. Those 28" ET Streets were killing ya. Nice spray run, though! And nice purge!

Bob, thanks, I thought so too! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

Justin (jsears8), I removed the seats, carpet, speakers, panels, glove box, console, spare/jack, etc. and my front swaybar has been off for 2 months now. I "backed it up" with an 11.878 @ 118.99 (1.823). Only got 2 runs in, obviously (no roll cage), and they felt the need to be **** about it. Honestly, I don't know how I can possibly improve that 60'. I launched @ 6000 - 6100 and dumped the clutch. With 3.42's I wouldn't know how to get it any better. I didn't see what RPM I was at. No, the 6 tenths and 3 MPH came from a combination of the street tire to ET Street switch, 300 lbs. worth of weight reduction, and pullies.

Damian, what do you mean what's up with it? It's my sig from another board.

Mike, yeah that's about right, and not to take anything away from Jason, but he also has 4.30's in a 12-bolt and a strong clutch.

Dr. B., StreetStalkerZ, and Sean, thanks for the kind words!

Justin (Onyx), okay...here is the complete list...

carpet
visors
radio
panel under sterring column
console
speakers
speaker panels
glove box
spare/jack
rear seats/seatbelts
front passenger seat and seatbelt connector thing
front swaybar
skinnies
low gas
light driver (155 or so)

Things I should have taken off, but didn't:

Passenger seatbelt
Passenger airbag
Bumper supports
Catback
Side view mirrors
Antenna

Future bolt-on's:

Rear-end with non-3.42 gears, clutch, roll cage, SFC's, LCA's, drag launch suspension, Fernco coupler, AIR system removal, plugs/wires, LS1 Edit/wideband O2 dyno tuning, battery relocation (w/ lighter battery), lightweight driver seat, aluminum driveshaft, timing tricker...Anyone have any more to add?

Lots of people don't quite realize how much weight plays a part in 1/4-mile performance. I'm sick of everyone thinking the A4's times are just unreachable, when all it's going to take is the proper drivetrain and the willingness to strip the car and some good setups running in some good weather.

 

WOW that is incredible!
Congrats,
Chris
