What do you think?

 

Can't watch the video right now, what did you run Charlie?

 

Good launch!

 

Nice looking launch, Charlie. The wheel/tire combo looks great, too!

 

10.9
good launch what was the 60ft

 

fyi, charlies car runs on straight 93 octane, no meth injection....... with full interior, air conditioning and power steering

 

Thanks, the 60ft was 1.60 its done better but i pussed out. The speed was129.46 mph.

I checked the boost on the way home and it looked like 18/19psi but i dont know for sure. I do know the sheriff that was following me when i did the third gear pull got a shock. It was a dark divided highway at 4:30 am i left him like he shut the motor off and then droped back to 60 mph on cruise control he pulled up next to me and just gave me the thumbs up i about **** my pants!

Ive only been out of the hospital 2 1/2 weeks after having another stint put in and the sheriff about put me back in!

 

Sounds great Charlie!!!! Looks like a fun ride

 

Wow, didn't know you got sick again. You doing better now? You're gonna have to hire a driver Charlie ! You're gonna give yourself a heart attack. Time to trade the RX7 for a BUICK!

 

Ive never had a problem raceing its the bullshit work stuff!

And im starting to get this driving stuff down i just need more power.
I went with the 4.30 gears and they were right the 60ft suffers but the trap is up.

I bet with a little practice i can get it in the 1.40's 60 ft and that will help in my quest to run 10.50's with pump gas.

Thanks for the concern but the hearts ok its the plumbing that sucks!

 

Get that ride of yours done and then you can give me some help!

Whats your time frame for round 2?

 

I bet a little MD 20/20 would clean ya out

 

I still got a few tricks up my sleeve, i just have to let everything fall into place.

The word for this time around is "patients"

 

Are you coming back out next month? I heard Steve is gonna cook us up some turkey, gravy and all the fixins....

 

I would like to nothing like a md 20/20 turkey filled with texas sage weed!

Patients is a good thing! But sometimes you just need to kill something!!

 

again Charlie, looks very nice!

 

Nice job Charlie! What kind of suspension setup do you have on there?
I like the way you just get out of the box.

 

Charlie you fly out of there like a bat outta hell! Man I can only aspire to drive like that some day How do you get that thing to hook so well?

 

Its a big secret its worn out stock mazda shocks and springs with toe links and traling arms. But everything from the motor to the diff is solid mounted.

I would like to take credit but i just drive it the way it tells me to. Oh still on the stock axles.

Thanks guys!

 

stock axles nice one!!

 

Nice launch and good driving.

 

Not as good as you i loved your trip to the track that was great!

Im just going to have to go for it and quit being afraid of breaking!

I wish there was another rotorhead here its a pain takeing all the **** off the piston people!
