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:

Damn, these ET streets hook.

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.

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.

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.

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.
