new best last night

We had a event at Milan called the NO ET nationals, basically street grudge racing, never seen so many spectators at the track besides pinks all out, more than 300 cars entered, brought back a lot of the guys who run on the street and the gamblers who follow, pretty cool night, arm drop starts, big $ races...seen one for 15,000 between two fox`s. So I had a race set up and gave the guy a 5 car lead, they staggered the tree for us, by the time he was a good ten cars out I figured they had mistakened my ET, I red lighted by .10 and proceeded to chase, never did get him by the end but blew by him in a flash. The NO ET thing is real, they don`t advertise your time and the tickets are cut in half so you don`t know what the other guy ran. here`s the half ticket from that run.

Re: new best last night

I wonder how they're calculating the 1000' MPH now?

Thats impressive Greeze!! You are only 1.5 ahead of me at the 1/8, but come on like a train after that..
Assuming your car weighs 3450, thats 960HP to the Flywheel, might as well shoot for 1000 How fun was that?

Re: new best last night

stephen, a lot of tracks have been adding another cone to do 1000' mph the same way that they do the 1/8th and 1/4 mph.

congrats greezemonkey, i love your car we do something similar at our track but no one ever shows up

Re: new best last night

have some video of the run but it`s along with a good 20 mins of racing, Im about a 1/3 of the way into the vid, the race we had was with a 69 studey commander 4 door, he wheelies pretty good and you can see my blatant red lite! But I`m really impressed how the car is leaving with the mini tub/coil overs I did last year..check it out!

Re: new best last night

That was pretty good. If the whole video was done like the intro, it would still be fun to watch.

Lots of smoke coming out from many of the cars.

Re: new best last night

Thanks guys! I really am surprised on just how well this car has been for just the few times I have had it out this year...I have a few more weeks to see if it`ll go into the 8`s on the same tune up!
