Went to the track for the last time this year and decided to go for it. The traction was there but the car just wasn't going to cooperate with me. Ran three times with the same results every time, so I gave up before I broke something.

Well at least it looked badass!!!!!!!!!! Theres always next year! Sick car BTW!!!

Nice pass. Sounded like you lifted a little at the top of the wheelstand. Had to cost ya a little.

fergymoto Nov 10, 2008 07:42 PM

Awesome wheelstand! That was some nice distance.

LS1 SPEED Nov 10, 2008 08:18 PM

killer pass

how much you hitting it with?

jarretthise Nov 10, 2008 09:36 PM

nice run anyways....even know it wasnt what you wanted it was still a good run

strokedz Nov 10, 2008 09:41 PM

The car went 9.46@141 on a 250 shot with no problems at all so I thought I would go 50hp at a time to see how close I could get to the 8's but the car would not stay on the ground at all. The data log showed me to be at 60% throttle for about .8ths and still ran 9.44@146 so it might of been a good pass. Here is the vid of the last pass I made before I to called it quits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk4jKw58x8g

LS1 SPEED Nov 11, 2008 06:45 AM

The car sounds sick! keep it on the ground and you will get there as I'm sure you know.

BOLO Nov 11, 2008 08:56 AM

^^Sounds Sick^^ Solid roller set up all sound like that? Similar sounding AI car like SSAlek on this site, a solid roller 355.

SS MPSTR Nov 11, 2008 07:12 PM

Awesome.

James Montigny Nov 11, 2008 07:13 PM

strokedz Nov 11, 2008 08:03 PM

Thanks guys, but it isn't that much fun when your not ready for it.

flyinZ Nov 11, 2008 08:58 PM

lol, SOB, that was wicked.

Very nice :)

Tireburnin Nov 11, 2008 09:02 PM

Did you pucker more as the car got higher? Haha

Congrats on the new best. Good luck with your new setup.

OutlawZ Nov 12, 2008 12:08 PM

glad to see i'm not the only one having wheelstand issues.... and hell i'm only leaving on a 150 shot...

sweet passes man.... better safe than sorry when it comes to leaning on the car hard....

I have one possibly two more track days this year to go out to to try and break the record and be the 1st in the 8's on spray.... bringing my car down to the chassis shop so he can inspect it this week.. :D

what tires are you on?????

blackz93 Nov 12, 2008 04:07 PM

Badass! Work on that suspension some. :)

I bet that IS scary when you're not expecting it?! :lol:

strokedz Nov 12, 2008 07:09 PM

Good luck getting into the 8s i'm done for the year. Unfortunately the setup I want to run next year might be harder to control than this one. Any suggestions on how to keep the front end down? I,m running the M/T 28x10.5 e.t. drag.

flyinZ Nov 12, 2008 08:17 PM

Madman travel limiters? Tighten your front struts up? Or better yet...Just call Brian, he'll set ya up.
