That was lots of fun Sammy!! Thanks for bringing those to us! The in-car clips definitely are nice as they take us to the action all the way down the track.

It's nice too, as we feel we know your car! Sounds like you got bitten by the "track bug"! Looking forward to more as you progress into a track racer!

Calderone

Thanks , im afraid of the bugs ....the "performance bug" bit me and bit me hard
a couple of years ago and it seems that he called the "track bug" and got me into ...
that ......will lead me into getting the tires and more haha,its really true when we say to new members "welcome to the madness" !!!



now i need new rotors and
im eager to feel the difference with sticky tires !

Oh youll love the drag radials for sure! Youre car will feel much quicker.

If theres no timing device at the track do you know someone with a Gtech you can borrow? Better than nothing.

Looks like your car picks up power quick just need to hook.

Calderone

Yes,its all about the initial launch, i was never able to floor it at launch,
i had to gradually press it but it spin the tires anyway !

wow..........

I guess I am spoiled here in the states.......I would not want to take my car there; seems like the pavement could have jarred your teeth out..... but I see you had fun and that is great since it is legal.......

I was especially scared for the spectators right behind the ever so close concrete barriers on the track.....

the "christmas tree lights" dangling on a line suspended in the air......wow...that would have confused me.....

I would have to tell the guys "keep your hands off my car" at the starting line too.......

wow....that was a learning experience for me......drag racing in S. America

Calderone

Thanks !!!





Hi 85 !!!
Yes its legal and its the only place we have, there is another one
but you won't like it at all ! The pavement is not that bad
is my roof kinda loose and the camera exaggerating it bigtime.

Lol the lights ...hehehe yes i noticed that !
and i really don't know where the idea of holding the rear fenders came from ...but they always do , any info about it ?

856SPEED

I can tell you that a NHRA sanctioned track in the states would not allow two guys holding the rear of the car on the track at the starting line.......

along with the other "less than safe" practices I witnessed in your videos.......but again..........good for you......the car seems to be running great and it's always fun to see racing videos!



BTW: how are those miners doing these days?? they deserve the attention!

Calderone

I can imagine that , but i would really like to know the story about "holding the rear fenders" thing, where did it comes from ...
do they think it improves launch ? " its strange !

I will comeback with a sweet revenge,i will come back with
all new brakes and M/T Drag radials,i want to see the difference.
btw last night i dreamed about driving my car with D.R. lol !
The pull was really increased !

Thanks

Yes the miners are all over the place !!! they are having a good time
and they are set for life as well.
