New best at track.

bigwhitecobra · 05-04-2001, 12:12 AM

Ok, keep in mind that this an 1/8th mile track, and that I've only ran there 2 times. My new personal best, at this track, is 9.35@77.861mph. Yeah yeah yeah, I know I could do alot better, but traction there is, well, not there.
My first run, I ran against an 84-85 SVO. I took the hole shot, and if the guy hadn't been drinking, he would have spanked me. I grabbed second, but for some reason, it didn't feel like it went in, so I jerked it out, double clutched it, and slammed it back in. resulting in a 9.9@75mph.
Next run was against a Pro Mod car. Need I say more?
I caught a decent light, .702, and the car didn't spin.

Slammed second with minor wheel spin, and ran her to a 9.35.
Like I said earlier, not Pro 5.0 material, but not bad for a near stock motor. Sorry this so long. Thanks for listening.

prepped track + street tires = smoke

seems like it to me anyways.. on slicks... she's fun

bigwhitecobra · 05-04-2001, 09:14 AM

I've still got some sorting out to do, and I need to improve my driving, but I'm happy with that for now. I was talking to a guy after my run, and he said that I pulled the left front tire. I think he's full of $h!#, but it would be cool if I did. Got any slicks you wanna sell?

SkarodoM · 05-04-2001, 09:25 AM

bigwhitecobra · 05-04-2001, 09:30 AM
