FD vs FD (zinx vs Radkins) *Vids* *Pics* and more
 

Radkins and I went to a private drag day put on by a local club this past Saturday. We decided to line up and I put the hurting on him. Of course, I was on ET streets and he was on regular street tires. ;) This was about 16 psi of boost for me and my first pass on ET streets (first pass that i didn't break anything). I'm not sure how much boost he was on, but he was peddling it all the way down the track. Ran an 11.63. I still need to work on the ET streets, but after day 1 I am impressed. At higher boost it was just spinning them like a street tire. I did lower them to 13 psi but it didn't help.

I also liked this run against this black foxbody. It was a good race, my 11.66 to his 12.1.

High boost runs will come as soon as i can figure out how to hook up.

Here are some pics:

Awesome !

What type of MPH were you guys putting up?

It shows the time and mph in the pics

Very nice runs! :icon_tup:
That is one sick FD you have there. :D

I think each of our high MPHs for the day were around 127. I think i can click off about a 135 with a clean run on higher boost.

Thanks!

what kind of mods does radkins have?

How about 1/8th mile mph?

damn. with that trap speed he was pulling on you pretty hard. seems like it would be a good race if he had sticky tires.

TO4R, 1/2 Bridge, all the supporting mods, i think he was around 20 psi that day.

I'll have to go back through my slips but I think my highest 1/8th MPH was right at 100, again on low boost.

Just went and watched the vid of you and the Mustang...Looks like you put quite the hurtin on the 5.slow! :lol:

damn I can't see the vid :( bummer

Its in a divx format, try using their player www.divx.com

thanks!

Edit- Cool vids...

I just realized the second vid of Radkins and I wasn't up there so i'm uploading it now, its not quite as shaky either.

nice traps.....would love to see high boost pass!

Had a fun time at the track. I only ran a few times because on street tires it was ice the first half of the track. Zinx's trap speed is stupid fast for 16lbs on ET Streets.

I posted the GTO picture on a local GTO forum I belong to, should get a good laugh haha.

Me too!

Got a link (if its not private)? I'd like to see what they say.

Is this video on streetfire yet?

I dl'ed divx but it still doesnt want to work. I get sound and picture but the pic freezes at the beginning and stays that way throughout the whole video. lol

Damn i wanted to see it too.

Sure do:
