i hope the line about gato was a joke..lol

 

4real, i thought gato n these guys we're boys...w/e who knows......how do u win 11.50 index going faster than that, i did the same thing at nscra tried to let go early, ran 11.0 and got disqualified right away.

 

sandbagging at its finest
congrats i guess

 

That's what I was thinking too, but oh well..

 

x2

 

yup and thats why i say 11.5 index is bs cause it is going to happen all year you guys wait and see and then people will complain about it and there is no real way to control it period..cause u can have a 9 sec car but u have no cage they going to run 11.5.

 

kool car.

 

He did state in the video that they were the best at what they do, dont try to perpetrate......leave the racing to the racers. Everyone else should find another hobby or go be a Doctor or Accountant...maybe even take up paintballing.

 

thats true i guess. but i still think a car that actually runs 11.5's will do it more often than one that has to time when to let off


anyways, seriously what is all the bragging in the vid about? i love the **** talking and all, but c'mon, you won the 11.50 index, not an outlaw class.

 

LOL

This video was a response to another shop who he mentions in the video. That is why he was making such comments. There were supposed to be a few racers that were going to come to the event and potentially run him in the index class but they did not show up. Just giving some background info on the video.

 

I like these guys because there dedication to racing! and to the guy that said they only won an index class,I'm pretty sure they were calling those other shops out for street races/grudge racing,those guys are really in to that. also CLM/chuna/godfather of boost is one of the most slept on racer's/tuners in that area just look at what happend at last years outlaw race. hopefully he can come out strong this year!

 

Great driving......

 

All those runs except for the last run were qualifying passes, so you can run what ever you want. The last run was the first round/finals since there were only two cars in that class. There will always be sandbagging in index racing as there is in bracket racing since index racing is basically heads up bracket racing.

Although sandbagging gets frowned upon if done blatantly, any good bracket racer knows how to sandbag and does it well to win races, i've always done it and been very successful, but its not easy. The more you sandbag the harder it gets.

I would never want to run .5 sec faster then the index or not even .2 sec faster as your margin for error greatly increases and you will most likely be beat by someone who can cut a light and run close to the index. There are no electronics allowed so its all on the drivers feel of the car.


absolutely, the closer your car is to running the exact index (full out) and how well you can cut a light are the ones who will win the most. I would never want to try to guess when to let off the gas or brake the last 300ft in order to run close to the index. I would turn down the boost or add more weight so i can run the car out full and be as close to the index as possible.

Index racing is a great opportunity for guys on a smaller budget to build there cars to run a certain number and learn how to cut a good light off a pro tree. Should have some great side-by-side racing this year as more people learn about it!!

 

you got a pm

 

Thought the rules said no sandbagging on the flyer? I guess 11.16 at 103 and 11.11 at 104 isnt that obvious to some people?!?!? All you have to do is look at a time slip. I am sure that car ran about 100mph or more to half track...and then the same mile an hour through the traps? But like XXX said above, a good bracket racer or someone who knew how to play the game a little better would have driven him right under the index and goten the win light themselves.

However I do hope 11.50 index grows and more cars come out next time. I would certainly play if my car was more street able or met the rules.

I will give you props though. It doesnt matter who was in the race. What kind of race it was. Or where it happened. A win is a win and thats what matters.

 

Import Survival Series on March 28th is also having the 10.0 and 11.50 Index classes... I'll be at that one for the first time out this year. I'm looking forward to the index class turnouts increasing throughout the year and as soon as more people catch on and are able to get their cars to run close to the dial, we'll definitely see some exciting side-by-side racing!!

 

who sleeps on cunha? i dont know what your talking about but everyone i know from the tri state knows him or has heard of him, and for the people wondering y hes talking **** in the video is because thats how this NJ/NY area is. But, i think its funny spices it up a bit.

 

Whoa, i don't think i'm angry enough for brackets. You cats scare me.

 

bump for nyce1s and aki on the win. didnt know it was a 2 car feild though. honda is gonna be alot harder to take home the W.

 

Guy sounds like a complete retard. That was almost painful to listen to

 

yeah i really dont get the **** talking..

its a 10 sec car. whats the big deal. and the comment about Felix.. come on.. 8.80's@170+ on 24.5's..

what has ceaz done?.. 9.40-.50 comes down to FL and loses at the track...Then loses at the street races... c'mon son!

 

x2.

Its pretty stupid to OBVIOUSLY sandbag like that.

 

c'mon son lol.....
