Definately not impossible. If anyone can do it on the 24.5 I think its Felix. And come on dont lose motivation. GL to everyone else trying to do it on the 24.5 as well.

I really encourage alot of racers to stick with the 24.5/25" slick. Not that I dont like the Outlaw style cars, but the line between the 2 types are so thin that many are thinking that 26" should be the norm now adays.

There's going to be some things that should help the SFWD cars get deeper into the 9s without a 26" tire. New products that help in gearing and traction should make a difference without sinking in more money to switch a car to run 26s.

Ill give you $20,000.00 for the car as is.J/K LoL

N.Y.C.E.

why do you think SFWD is dead, i think its very much alive.

is 9.26@164 @ 2500lbs is the official SFWD record, is that with full exhaust.

sgnlab

Great grammar but either way just letting you know that SFWD is a certain trim in outlaw trim anything is possible. Not sure you know the difference.

I've been talking about it with some people I think a 24.5 shootout would be alot of fun, I'm planning to leave my car on 24.5's and compete at the shootout in SLC

ExospeedAMcrx

Why should there be a 24.5 shootout? Thats already the basic SFWD/BOTI Turbo Street, CMI classes. They are all pretty much the same.

sgnlab

the cars have evolved away from the SFWD setup's.

FelixTuning

My car Is the same set up from SFWD , now for the shout out i remove the exhaust and convert it to water to air. I so no different, i think it will go the same with air to air and the exhaust . The SFWD record is 9.33 held at an NHRA event if you want to call it that .
Not that it matters anything .

BoostR41

this was talked about in another thread. 24.5 class would be limited to a 61mm turbo from what I remember

sportfwddc2

would you agree or disagree that with the hype around the shootout last year at Etown and everyone shooting for 8's with all the bounties that everyone pushed there cars alot harder? I dont think you see that kind of thing at CMI or BOTI events just my opinion

tony1

I run my car just as hard at the Outlaw race as I do at local IFO races. I think you'll find that any of the guys running similar times do the same. There are a handful of guys that are in the same boat as me at least.

When these cars are right, you can run them all out w/o concern of blowing stuff up, so why not?

sgnlab

Not taking anything away from you at all I am a fan of your car and the way I look at it in sfwd trim these cars could do it but if your going to call it sfwd trim then bring it out legal to what the sfwd trim is. I am not saying my car is the fastest because by all means its not its actually slower than most N/A cars thats not my point but some take it that way!

Turbo-charged

if your not going to run your car hard, why run it. i think that you have a higher posibility of breaking stuff that way. most of the guys breaking everything and doing weird things with tire pressure or trying to leave too low of rpm etc etc. it ends up doing more harm than good.

InDub

I was shooting for it for a while, but its a lot harder then I had thought.. The only reason I stopped was to start getting my car ready for 26s for the Utah Race. and the fact that its now 105 degrees here lol

I was under the impression the record was tied between tony1 and felix. tony1 with 9.27@167 and Felix with 9.27@162, but I guess I was off on felix's time.

I also consider it to be a 2500lb sfwd "style" car. I wish i only weighed 2500 lol

sportfwddc2

I guess I should have said it differently looks like alot of cars showed up at the shootout set up differently then they had been before

FelixTuning

I don't remember when was the last time i went to the track and not hit it with all it got. Lol..

I do not really have anything to add to this thread, but what I just read and quoted is what its all about. Why even go out and race if you are not going to beat on your car. Thats what its built for, thats why people buy the good parts, and thats what makes it fun.

I wished I had the time and money to run with you guys on 24.5 or bigger slicks. Since I do not at this point in my life, Ill sit back and watch/read you all talking about it.

nonvtecallmotor

I know that I won a bunch of races just taking it easy....... I only started to run my car hard near the end of the year. I always knew what it could run.

ALL IMPORT

its all about track prep. hell here in south FL, PBIR & ORLANDO we dont ever get good track prep. it can rain all morning before an event & they wont even spray the track to help with traction waist of their $$$. some of u remember orlando like 3 years ago when it poured all morning then we finally go back to racing then the sun came out the track sucked ***. no prep= no records

FRernesto

Lost dedication? I don't think so, 8's it is pal!! LOL

3minburnout

way to stay motivated!

Jtech crx

it should be a 24.5 shootout class, it will be fun

TurboManny

I don't think Felix wants or needs your respect D.I.C.K. "24.5 tire" not "26"

hello1320

WTF he just went 8.8 @172 on a 24.5 tire Thats a half a tenth off or so the record.What do u want form him. Another 8 sec pass on 24.5 is a long way out (except for Kevin)..hes the next one.
