I think the DR time is indeed VERY IMPRESSIVE regaurdless of what the FFW or NMRA guys are running. I just wish they would be a little forthright about their set up and combo. In Gary's original post he talks about wanting to help out the community but is very secretive of the details. Then again so is Harlan, maybe I am just not secretive enough.

Never said it wasn't impressive, only said it wasn't a bencmark time....There's nothing stellar about a 7 second car running mid 8's.....until you hear that it was on a radial tire.

Mid 8s on a radial is damn impressive. I don't think we even have any 9-second Gen III cars on radials. Radial racing is going to be HOT for 2005.

Congrats again Hardcore guys. I know Ronnie can drive as well, as I've seen him make a few passes at previous events.

that bottle sure looks like an N2O bottle, and it was in the car, so i would find it very hard to believe that if it was in the car and all, i would say it was used. why carry the extra weight of the bottle if your not using it?
and im talking the 7 sec passes, not when Ron was driving.
ive never seen a fire system bottle that big. the one on the right looks more like a fire system.
eitherway 7's is sweet, but how did it get there

there are 10 pound fire systems.

Well, how many people have now said that it was all blower? 3? 4? Why can't people here accept the fact that it was done on a single power adder?

That is NOT a N2O bottle! If you've never seen a fire system bottle that big, you've never been around a professional race car then. If you look colsely in this pic:




You can see at the top of the bottle is a small red fitting. This is the mechanisim that pushes the plunger in on the bottle to release the chemical. I don't see a valve like what would be on a N2O bottle.

Here is an example:

Kinda LOOKS like a N2O bottle, but it isn't. Just because it looks like one, doesn't mean that it is one

so many experts in here. why cant people just leave it alone, its like they have a personal stake in this one shop's ET and car.

and i dont know why hardcore would lie about running single power adder. they have about unlimited resources. if they wanted to push more power, they just would.

I have 2 10lb polished Nitrous bottles that look %100 the same as that bottle and it is mounted on the same brackets on the same cage build! Weird.... Have a look..

I hate to beat a dead horse on this. But it is always fun to look deeper into the story rather than just here the numbers. I can understand them not listing the build specs, but Most people don't even now the motor or blower!

And I have heard that ALLOT of the top dogs "cheat" of bend the rules. To win. I have seen bottles found in dashes,doors,oil pans,intakes,and frame wells.

3 or 4 people said it, but not 1 HardCore guy confirmed it yet.
and im sorry, i see no red fitting on the drivers side bottle. it looks just like a N2O bottle polished. the pic you posted with the red bottle looks Nothing like the drives side bottle. its longer and slimmer. the drives side is the same as a N2O bottle with the same brackets i was looking at for my new cage.
it may be a fire system, id like to see it in a closer pic.. whats the bottle on the pass side?
it looks like one, it doesnt have to be one, but no Hardcore guys have confirmed it.

Like I said- just because it looks like something, doesn't mean that's what it is. Bottle brackets are bottle brackets, so you two have the same ones. Big deal, that doesn't mean that his is holding an N2O bottle.

gator, what hardcore guy confirmed single power adder?
i saw a few people that didnt know for sure.

looks like a duck walks like a duck, chances are good it may be a duck.
but like i said, either way its Fast.

Trust me..............that blower has more than enough power to get that car in the 7's!! Especially on the engine that he has also. Even if he used the nitrous, so what, he still went what he went. That is damn fast, no matter what.

Noyzee

iTrader: (37)

Chris, your not hearing me. i said, no matter how they did it, its fast, but im just wondering if it was with spray.
and just because the blower can do it doent mean anything, my turbos had more then what it would take to go 9's, did i do it with turbos? No. im just asking and yet to get a answer from them. we also havent see a video
