Default A Look Inside Del Sohn Racing's HOTROD Del Sol

This is a 2.5min clip of "the" hotrod delsol. This was taken from a dvd i made for the owner. He used this as a way to give sponsors a good overview of the car during sema. i must say this car is extremely well built and should be very competitive in 04. This shows the car in detail, enjoy...

Pete, I broke the axle at the line did not even move a inch. Only had 1 run than broke. The first pass was a easy one did not build any boost took off easy did not take it to the red line and ran 10.8 (still not tuned yet and at consertive boost) Next pass attempt, did burnout had it at 14psi on 2 step for the launch and broke the axle. Hey racinskittle Im not sure who the song is by? Sorry, ask Josh he is the one who put it together. Car weight is about 1900-2000 lbs depending on scales keep getting different #s. As far a HP numbers we did not do a full power pull as back then we were working to find a ignition problem. I will let everyone know Hp as soon as we finish up the tuning. Quicksol nice to see more del sol enthusits out there, keep up the good work! cars sounds great. Thanks everybody!

did they spin a little off the line ? or just grab quick . i was tellign frank, i would bring the revs up when you launch . when it grabs too abrublty you will break axles. unfortunately finding the sweet spot for that car might get expensive, but with those slicks, id be starting at 7k launches and going from there. worst thing ewill happen you will spin a little.
When you launch you want it to spin a little while its trying to grip, just enuff to make you "slide" per say off the line . kinda hard to explain. on low boost tohugh you shouldnt be having too much traction probs.
are those 28's or 26's?
