Congrats Ross I think my 60' were about a week and a half at Norwalk last fall maybe I can get them down to a week at Pittsburgh in June.

1.48 60' tonight. 10.53 @ 130... Five good data logs & ready to turn it up real soon.

 

[1978 NYB]

Are you going to be able to get in the 9's?

 

[polara71]

Sure he will Bob, with a 2015 supercharged 392

But that, now that's what I'm talking about. Congrats.

Yes.

No.

Please, don't do that..


But that, now that's what I'm talking about. Congrats.

Don't read it.

Thank you.

 

[1978 NYB]

What will it take to get in the 9's? More mods???

 

[tallhair]

Please, don't do that..

But, but, but once you have a dial in that's where the difference between winning and losing is Stan

I was under the impression that the first one to tick off 1,320 ft. was the real winner.
I'm unfortunately stuck in the 60's, the best years of my automotive life and to my detriment I can't let go.

The biggest effect on the 1320 time is the first 60 feet .. after that the car will run how it runs unless it blows up, hits the wall etc.

But by that logic, why go beyond 60' then.
Not ball busting here. Seriously, just trying to get a grasp on this whole thing hopefully so that I can learn something new and appreciate something that eludes me.

Because you can drive around somebody if your car has the balls.

There's no contest to 60', it's simply an important metric.

What? I would never street race but that's not what I meant. You can drive around somebody on the big end of the track.

 

[1978 NYB]

You do drive it the street but don't race on the street! I applaud you for being safe Ross!!!

 

[polara71]

Nothing unsafe about going fast on the street.

Speed doesn't kill, carelessness does
