My latest round of weight reduction was enough to solidly put the car in the 6s NA. I ran back to back 6.95 @ 97mph, 1.50 60' times.

Raceweight is ~3340#, I drove 70 miles each way to the track (the car is super quiet and fun to drive on the street), had my power steering hooked up, exhaust, etc.

If only I had a hooking 1/4 mile track I'd have a solid 10.90 run. My new shortblock and head/cam setup are still in the works. As soon as I get a trailer I'll try a few passes with no catback (~50#s).

 

Congrats, bud-- I know it feels good to accomplish a long-held goal <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
(I just made it into the 11's for the very first time tonight (11.95) <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> )
When do you thing you'll get a good pass at a 1/4? Should be a hell of a show <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

 

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

 

Congradulations Terry I knew it was coming especially with all of the extra work you have put into thecar lately.

 

Those were some nice passes. Gotta love the 6 nitrous accusations in 4 minutes sitting there in the pits before you left. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks for the launch observations and the ghetto fabulous fabrication skillz on the battery tie down. LOL!

Congrats on the times man, you really need to get to a hooking 1/4mile track <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cheers,
Chris

 

Terry u gotta be kidding me?
U NEVER actually ran 10's and your claiming to be in the 10's?

Not to mention your car has weighed from 3200 to 3350 in the last 5 days.So what is the weight or are u guessing about that too.

Guys this lapper is clueless.
I wouldnt brag about your college education anymore Terryble.

Where did u go, BALLWASHER STATE U.
What a boob.

10 second timeslip = 10 second club.

If we all based our ET on assumptions, my buddy's GTek said I ran 9s once.

i agree with the others. till it says 10 seconds on a 1/4 mile slip with your name on it, youre full of it.

example: my car cuts 1.5 60's. so do low 11 second cars. my car does not go that fast <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

get a slip or shutup.

Do your timeslips read in the 6's in the 1/8?

He didnt claim to be an "official member", just claimed to run times good enough to be there.

You guys should know that a 6.95 and 97 mph are good for 10's...

Terry,
Hit that 1/4 mile track and be an official member of the 10 second club

 

HAhaha, you mean you are a 6.90 member!

Nice eigth mile times!

 

Excellent 1/8 mile times, but sorry to say you are just a member of the Extrapolation Club for now.

Of Course, you knew this was going to be the response and wanted to see it in black & white. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

6.95 in the 1/8th could equal out to 10s, but then we'd be bench racing. And bench racing is <img src="http://forums.off-topic.net/images/smilies/greddy.gif" alt=" - " />

You don't have a 10sec car, until you have the 10sec timeslip.

btw....Terry...nice 1/8th mile pass. Can't wait to see your 1/4mile results <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I didn't realize some of you were so uneducated. Quick English lesson.

Honorary : Holding a title or place without rendering service or receiving reward; as, an honorary member of a society.

E.G. Although I didn't physically run 10s, I ran quick enough in the 1/8th that I'm an honorary member.

What's funny is I'm only .01th behind Tony's big dollar ultra super stroker in the 1/8th when he was in similar street trim. It's always exciting to run as quick or quicker with less. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm afraid not Terry. My best 1/8 mile is currently 6.83 sec, 101.26 mph (1.49 60') 78F, 80%, 30.1 inHg, 3626 lbs

That puts you over a tenth slower, and 3 mph slower.

And I'm still 300+ heavier than you. I'd gladly choose to own my car over yours any day of the millenium. I'm sure others here would also agree <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So, go ahead and tow it with your wuss truck to a non-Jr Dragster track and get us a real timeslip <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I know you can run 10s, but I could have run 10s with my last motor but never did. No timeslip = no credit. You should know that!

Terry, IMO, you have the potential for a 10 sec run. My recent admission to the club was on these #'s:

1.52 60'
6.960 1/8 @ 97.95
10.940 1/4

So your #'s have you there. But as said above, it's time to prove it. Find a real track and run. I often drive my car for a couple of hours to race. You must have a 1/4 track within a few hours, right?

The closest hooking 1/4 mile track is a 6-7hr drive each way.

Since I pulled 497 rwhp thru the SLP dual-dual catback, I was very curious about how the new setup would run thru the muffler. So, I just swapped off my WS6 wheels and put my Draglites/Slicks on and made a pass.

10.87 @ 125.33 (1.51 60')!

1/8 mile was 6.94 @ 98.79

My runs were made through a muffler too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> All I did was pull in to the track and swap the tires. It looks like my stock bottom end street car is almost as quick as a 500rwhp MTI mega-super stroker! I bet you didn't even have your power steering hooked up, lol...
