If i can break into the 9s ill be happy.

At first i just swapped the wires and it didn't start. I already had everything all clamped up and pretty so i didn't want to redo it, so i tried just rotating the sol 180 and it worked freaking perfect!

 

Ok here's the template for the trans. tin. What a pain in the *** that was.

 

just paint black and noby will knoew is paper .

 

Lay a thin sheet of fiberglass on that paper and your good to go

 

Getting closer.......

This thursday I'm going out for some 1/8th mile testing and get some practice on the new trans. Vids to follow. And thanks for the compliments. Oh and I don't have to use the clutch pedal hardly any more so no need for sandpaper.
Thanks Doc

 

ohh yeh

 

This one's for you Allen.

 

Hahaha that looks MUCH better!

 

Looks good mate

Tone

 

Jay went 6.9 sec.......first pass.....

 

 

wow jay is flying with that 12a motor hey rene are you going to race your all motor car at the next event

 

Yep, just got back from 1/8th mile testing. Ran 6.99 @94mph first pass off the trailer. I guess all those practice shifting in the garage paid off.
Here's the breakdown

60'-1.433
330-4.412
1/8-6.99
mph-93.93

I made two other passes. The second I spun bad in first and ran a 7.2 with the same mph. The last pass I staged and then broke the beams. That would have been a 6.8pass because the car was flying and my mph was 94.06. Still getting used to the transmission but I think I did pretty good for my first session. I did not think that the trans. would drop the times that much in the 1/8th so I am very very happy. Gotta practice my burnouts. I started in 2nd gear and everytime I try to shift into third during the burnout the trans. would kick me out. The last burnout I just left it in second. Here's the video.

Don't let go of the gas in the burnout..
Keep you foot to the floor and the trans will not kick you out..
It will only kick out when you lift otherwise it will stay in gear and shift like butter...

How do you like it? Once you get used to that trans you will never want anything else.

Congrats BTW..

 

this guy .... full baller spec

What was the previous best 1/8th im too lazy to go backwards in a thread

 

Jarret, you ******* make us proud.. huge congrats to you..

 

Thanks Enzo, I fricken love it! I think my homework paid off on picking the gearing out because the engine stayed on the powerband the whole time. I'll have to keep practicing on the burnout.

My best previous was a 7.43 at 90mph. So I picked up almost half a second and 4mph! And thanks Beefy. Now I'm waiting for you to make that nine second pass. Just take a big **** right before you run and you'll do it. lol

Thanks Ito and to everyone for your support.

 

This cat talks the talk and walks the walk.....proud of you jay .....

I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline... I firmly believe that any man's finest hour-this greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear--is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle -- victorious.

 

Thanks Joe and I'm waiting for your return to the track.... It's getting pretty lonely at Irwindale.

 

woot woot for J. for some reason, youtube is acting up and I cant watch the complete video.
