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:

Already starting to pull (notice the crack through the strip)


Damn, these ET streets hook.

In the pit


GREEN!


Putting some distance on the GTO

 

Awesome !

What type of MPH were you guys putting up?

 

It shows the time and mph in the pics

 

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

 

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!

 

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:
