but when im at the track i try not to worry about my reaction time, i try and worry about not spinning and improving my driving skills. reaction is the least of my worry's because really, im not bracket racing. just test and tune. you know?

 

this was at the emerald coast drag way...i live close to panama city and pensacola.

 

I might be going this Sunday (3/28). Not sure how the car is going to run or anything. Just have a chance to go and I will probably take it.

"actually I prefer open than a LSD. (especillay welded). use handbrake, instead of the foot brake pedal, to keep the away from red-lighting."

Huh?

Doesnt make much since to me? WackyRacer, is a good name if you use the E-brake at the strip? E-brakes, for me, are for parking only! wait a min, I dont even have an E-brake ! ! ! Ha, ha! In my experience LSD or POSI is better than a sorry *** diferential! I HATE DIFFERENTIALS ! ! !

 

Yes, handbrake keeps me from red lighting. Its not quite easy to do 3 things at once...clutch, gas and brake pedal. Meaning, reving the engine at the right RPM for launch while the clutch is half-way depressed. Its just easier for me grab the handbrake with my fingers in the release button to prevent the car from moving. Then drop at the last yellow light.

 

A, if it works for you, that is all that matters! right.

 

I went to a 1/8th mile track like a month ago. It was my first time at the track heres what i ran.
RT - 501
60 - 2.405
330- 6.866
1/8 10.522
mph-67.60
The car is a 84,12a streetport build by me,and stock carb. I think i got real lucky with that reaction time.

 

I think I met you at SS6...Do you own a blue 1st gen. I own the yellow RX-3.

 

I want to line up against WEB777

 

hahaha, i know a guy with a Black Rx-3 boosting, used to be owned by a guy by the name of Rene and no not Franco...do you wanna line up with him?

 

A challenge has been issued!!!

that would be great to see, a 7 in the 7s. Thats not bad.. I assume slicks, with those numbers.

 

Yea, I have some tiny slicks. Best pass was the first run, then I made the mistake of trying to lower the air pressure. Worked great on my old car with taller slicks. These little sucker didn't go for it and the 60' kept geting slower and slower.

The slicks are 22*8/15's


I am thinking about picking up a set of 24.5*8/15's and using the 22"ers for weekend street duty

No, it's way slower but don't have to worry about cops anymore.

 

Scared of the cops are you
