Again, with horrible driving on my part.

I ran two 14 sec passes, a 12 sec pass, a 11.47 pass, a 11.00 pass and finally the 10.36 pass.

Car has alot more in it, I just need to drive it.

thats a very quick time

 

wow, very nice! A little quicker on the take off and you should be in the way lower 10's if not high 9's. Good job man.

 

Sweet run brotha'.

 

My video is a little better I sent some friends there to watch

 

nice run, car sounds good and goes straight...

 

That last run I trapped 100 in the 1/8th. Earlier when I ran the 12 sec pass, I trapped 113 mph in the 1/8th.

Do the math

 

Wow! That is a very quick time.

Out of couriousity, what is your final drive on your rear end? I wonder how different would the trap speed be with 3.90, 4.10, 4.30 gears, and how it correlates with the ET

 

geez! Can I have your turbo

 

lol.. the commentator was all excited! "wow, hes made history" ... great run! id love to see my fc do 10's

 

He always loves to see rotaries run. You didn't hear everything he said, the video stopped and started.

He said something about the BADDEST IMPORT IN THE MIDWEST and then FASTEST IMPORT IN GATEWAY HISTORY!!

funny guy!

 

I'm running FMS 4.30 gears out back.

 

Hey Eric!
Congratulations.
I don't know what you're complaining about.
You did very good for your first time out not to mention you took home 1st place.
You just need a litlle more seat time.

 

I know, I just expected to go out and run a 9 sec pass and come home with a smile on my face

After my first two runs, I was ready to pack it up and go home. Everytime I punched it in 3rd gear the tires would break loose and the car would get squirrly. I didn't know what was wrong, after some advice from Espn's Bret Kepner. He said that everytime I shifted my arm would jerk down on the steering wheel thus causing me to get out of the groove and then the tires would blow away. He told me to keep my steering wheel at 12 oclock and stop jerkin! Well, I did this and it fixed my problem and kept the car straight.

Anyhow, the car really feels fast. I have problems with the 2 Step, it's hooked up to the clutch pedal and it's hard to get my foot completely off the clutch while racing it so the damn step stays engaged while racing........ you can here it popping and cracking throughout the run.......

hitting the brakes on the big end doesn't help either

I'm a lost cause I tell you........

Another problem, I had a big problem with shifting too early or way too late so I bought a shift light to tell me when. I thought this would fix my problem.......... Well it didn't. While I'm racing, I'm like a deer in headlights. I don't even pay attention to that stupid shiftlight and caught myself shifting at like 7K.

come race this thing for me.

 

Eric,

Congrats on another good run bro!! Once you get these few issues sorted out you'll be in the low 10's easily if not faster! Keep at it.

Zach

 

i play need for speed all day long son......
plus i'm literally 1\3 your size.....
i can drive that beast into to 8s home skillet!!!
i'm just playin...i couldn't have done any better.
i think everybody here will agree it shoulda woulda coulda been into the 9s easily.
das oh kai mang...there's always next time.

 

I thought 10.30's were considered low

 

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little more seat time I reckon for high 9s

 

Eric. Car looks so good off the line. When it hooks up its gonna scare the **** out of you LOL...

I just wish we had more nite drags here in the UK and the comentary was way OTT but i kinda liked it .

Scott

 

nice... that vw ran good also. i went to the track last night for the first time and ran a crappy 12.2 @109 but i had to let off

going back next week..shooting for low 11's at 120+

 

How about that AC/DC playing in the video. HAHA. That's awesome. Nice run still Eric. I know it could have been better, but still very nice run.

Dee

 

not to change the subject, its really cool to see the vid of the fd, but did anybody catch the go kart doin a 10 sec pass? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmzc-x3e73M&NR

 

awesome vid and nice job racing. cant wait to see you break into the 9s

 

Yeah, we have night racing on tuesday, wednesday, friday and saturday. We also have Midnight Madness once a month. That's racing that starts at 10pm and ends at 4am. It's pretty much a zoo, though.
