D-Rob's coupe at the drag strip!

Finally got a chance to break in the new slicks.

Best E.T. of the day was 8.56 @ 80mph (1/8th mile track, very very crappy track, BTW...)

Let me know how she looks.

(That picture was taken just before I got the driver's side wheel spinning.

Damn open diffs.

)

Also at the track today was this dragster, powered by a GM Ecotec.

He never really got a clean pass, but the last I heard was something along the lines of 6.41 @ 109mph?

Thanks.

- Derek

South Mountain Dragway, which happens to be like, 5 minutes from my house.

I don't go very often, because the 1/8th mile is no fun, and the track itself is VERY poorly kept/prepared.

I'll be heading to Cecil County Dragway next Saturday for a Test-N-Tune, though. I'm shooting for 12's this time around.

Re: D-Rob's coupe at the drag strip! (D-Rob)

1. You didn't break the slicks in... Don did.

2. Grab 2nd in the burnout and that other tire will spin instantly and a ****-ton of smoke will appear if you'd like.

3. What other times did you run?

Slicks were at 11psi.

1.84 was my best sixty-foot.

I launched around 6700-7000 RPM.

And yes, second gear burnouts, FTW. I just need to be less of s sissy next time.

At cecil this Saturday, second gear burnouts, here I come.

You're training will be complete, young Jedi.

EDIT: Before I go killing your tranny, I don't know if you have enough power to start in 2nd... I doubt it... but if you grab 2nd from the 1st gear burnout... just be gentle.

Re: D-Rob's coupe at the drag strip! (Honda Bull)

I'm pretty sure I've got enough power...

It's just a matter if I have enough clutch.

First gear shoots to 9000 RPM like it's nothing.

Re: D-Rob's coupe at the drag strip! (D-Rob)

I think you'll be ok....

I'd lower the psi a lil -- maybe 8 psi cold.
Launch that sucka at 8k+

Make sure and pre-load and your axles will thank you later!!

Of course I preload.

Maybe I'll try that.
