Buccaneer Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 From 2015 NHRA Rule Book... Not sure exactly how to take this. Is it still up to Tech Inspector whether you need loop or not on C3s? 2015 nhra rearend1.jpg If you read the whole sentence Tom, it states "running 10.99 or quicker" You fell for it! So, I'm good at a slow 11.00? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I didn't fall for it, I know your 3 or 4 seconds away from that rule. If you even go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOXXOH Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 I like my smoke shows. Nope, running the slow mustang. Hopefully it can crack some 11s with the stall/suspenion as it was right there without it. Going to give it 1-2 more tries then probably sell the drag parts off the stang as urge to race it isn't there and picking up a new toy next weekend. Found a new hobby to get away from fast cars. So did you run the Mustang last week or are you going this week? I'm curious to how many people show up with the higher prices and also if they do a second track prep around 9 PM. Also, if you managed to squeeze into the 11's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ran last night. It was pretty damn good. DA wasn't great but there was only ~30 cars running. Hot lapped about 5 runs in a row, stopped, watched, did 5 more, stopped, did 5 more. By 9 there was no line. They reprepped around 8. No traction issues. 60's were 1.63-1.66 all night. Made 10+ 11 second passes. Didn't see a single vette all night. There was a bone stock hellcat auto, 800 miles on it running 12.0@121-122mph. Not bad for being stock on stock tires.

Sleezy E Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Sweet. I guess the price increase is keeping all the riffraffs away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Looks like it is keeping everyone away. It was dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOXXOH Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Maybe they should raise the price again, since with only 30 cars they don't make enough to cover costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Lets hope it was just a slow night or they don't mind losing money. I went home around 9:30 making more passes than I ever have at a track, and at that point there was zero line. Can just pull up and run. Out of the cars running, several were booted for no helmets/etc and people go tired quick when you can make runs that fast. I had 5 runs in <20 minute period at one point. They didn't want to let me run the mustang on hoosiers because of lack of extended lugs and driveshaft loop, but let me slide this time. Car is now retired unless we get a different track. Selling the wheels/tires as I'm not doing that stuff just to run there. For everyone that loves to talk crap about mustangs, here are a few slips from my wife's 2012 GT auto. Tune, intake, tires, and some suspension work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLs Mistress Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 "For everyone that loves to talk crap about mustangs", They are Playing with you ,if you go to the Mustang forum I'm sure they talk crap about Vettes... Name of the game... What kind of times does your Vette do at that track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PALADIN Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I always get Mustangs and street cars wanting to run the vette. I say OK, but I get to pick the track! The vette was not designed for drag racing, altho it does quite well. So whether or not it can outrun a Mustang on a drag strip, it will definitely tear it a new asshole on the road course. That's where it shines! Same for the Hell Cat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tune, intake, tires, and some suspension work. Those numbers look about right. It compares with another '12 GT at Moroso similarly equipped but with a stock converter. You're getting .3 better 60' times than him. What stall is that converter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 3600-3800 is what it is rated for. Best results were foot braking it up to 3500 or so. Great thing is the 6r80s are full electronic lock up so daily it is locked all the time so drives like a stock car unless you floor it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A converter is the exact reason why an auto can launch consistently to get great ET's and why roll racing is so popular for manual cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yep, it is great. Debating doing headers and a few other things to get it solid 11.5-11.6s but ohhh well. Would rather have a convertor and auto in my lame roll race car too, but that cost too much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
