back tire and the break in the 1/4 for a 1000 bux

 

What was your RT?

 

.

 

Whats that mean?

 

RT didn't have a roll in the race at all, other guy had to wait till he took off.

 

I looks like a heads up race or very close to it and both of you were asleep at the tree.

 

not much of a grudge racer are ya?

"the break" is when one car doesn't leave until the other does. It's a street racer invented handicap

 

nice job bro, glad to see the car is working nicely, now come give mine the "tuneup" chitown style

 

whatd you run? couldnt see the times.

 

there are no times posted that i'm aware of since he's a grudge racer like a few of us survivors

 

thanks fellas

I think the other guys covered all the street racing lingo already

 

Why not use the tree?

 

cuz it's a 30 somethin W tire, ladder bar, sissy bar, potato chip vega to my 3200 lb , true 28x10.5, stock suspension, no sissy bar having iroc...

 

why use the tree when he's getting spotted out and given the "hit" to make up for the other guy having a better setup. no different than if they wanted to yawn bracket race, the tree comes down at a different time.

 

I see..

 

exactly, basically if you see me racing on something as ghey as a sportsman tree there's some ninja sh*t goin on

 

lol car looks great.

 

 

That car leaves hard! Congrats!

 

very nice run - i did not expect that front end to come off the ground - you are lucky you had the break or he would have taken you,
how much do you think you could improve your run if you kept the front down and not wasted horse power lifting your front instead of moving your butt forward?

 

i donno, that was the second pass with a glide in the car. You can see the car kinda go left after the wheels up thing or coming down after the wheels up and i kinda give it a quick pedal and shift it into high gear...that being said i thought i lost right there. Being so used to the 3 speed car a short shift wouldn't have been a problem but glides do not like it at all. Almost an expensive lesson...almost . To answer your question I have no idea haha

 

BUT I BET YOU WILL! using that power to move you forward will get you an extra second or two. you lift at second 46 and at 48 you are down. that is two seconds that you are losing torque moving forward instead its holding your front end up. in a race that only lasts a max of 10 seconds according from your timer on the tape - that means for 20% of the race you were not under full power.
so lets see you run again and keep that front end down. looks like you got tons of torque - just fine tune the gearing to get is all moving forward.
but it is a darn fine machine you got and takes a heck of a wheel man to keep it on the tract in the best of circumstances and running 2 seconds with no steering and the front end blocking your view - damn fine driver you are.

 

lmao....

 

man i too hope I can keep my nose down to run 2 seconds quicker as well.....

 

lol, oh boy...
