Drewstein Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 So I made all but two passes at Speedworld today and shattered an idler pulley which tore apart the 8-rib belt.My runs were interesting to say the least. Launching this thing proved a difficult task as wheel spin is out of control in the first two gears. Here's a short video Siegren shot so you can get an idea of what I was going through in there.VIDEOOne thing's for sure, I think it sounds great!My best time was my first run of course since it still had a serpentine belt attached. It was a modest 11.7 at 140mph lol. I'll get some more seat time and rip off that mid 10 for you guys. -Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways i look forward to running you one of these days!Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewstein Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I was great meeting everyone down there.I must improve the 2.4 60' time which will be fun the the DRs. Practice makes perfect. With more than 2 runs I should get there lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert and Elizabeth Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Congrats Drew!!! You will improve with more seat time. It will be worth it. You can go to a 12 rib belt you know. Less belt slippage that way. That is what we will run when we get our F1C.R & E~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less belt slippage that way. That is what we will run when we get our F1C.R & E~I'm not sure if it was belt slippage or what, but the idler pulley has been reduced to a bolt. I think the fix right now is to find a better constructed pulley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Nice video Drew , kinda short though... Oh yeah, it was only 11.7 seconds long. LOL Next time... and with some sticky tires and a good launch (60') you should get it down in the low 10s for sure. Sounded good, even the rev limiter.

YumaZ06 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Drew, it was great meeting you and your lady at Speedworld on Saturday. Unfortunately you had problems, but I'm sure that you will get it back together. Enjoyed talking to the both of you on the way to Napa.The 140 mph is a good indication of low 10 sec et's if you can hook it up.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
