I have drag slicks as well, but only a 28x10.5 will fit under the car without hitting... that tire does ok in some situations, but we want to make the tire will will be using for our series work.

I guess the problem also is to get a wide enough slick that's the right height they only come in 16" rim size.

I use a 15x10 rim... there are tons of options on tires, but only so many that fit into classes that my car can run in.

Dial it in!!! That 195mph quarter is sweeeet. Looking forward to 200+mph

Oh I thought tire size(DR's) was what was the problem with the et's. I understsnd the classes but I thought you would put the biggest/best tire you could get under it to see what the fastest you could run in the 1/4.

I am more interested in being consistant and winning races than making 1 glory pass.

Later, after all the races are done, if I have not accomplished enough, then maybe we will try some different sizes, but the goal here is to win races.

My understanding is that Mark Carlyle went 209 today. Can anyone confirm this as fact?

Mark wrote a short confirmation note in another thread last night. Video to follow. Wooo hooo!

Best pass was the 7.22@209.75 yesterday, but here is some food for thought....

We were only getting 1.3x 60's yesterday and our normal "best passes" are always in the 1.27 range. Also, since it was 90 degrees yesterday we had to put a 5 second boost ramp in the boost controller. As Patrick put it, "that's the gayest tune up I've ever put in a car, this butch is going 6's"

We were working with 140+ track temps yesterday and were really not pushing the boost until 3rd gear!

I'm pretty happy with these results for our second time out, I think the next time out we are going to be even faster.

We have videos and pictures coming soon!

So now does that take the record from the IRS Supra?

IPS Motorsports

We've had Sal's TT Viper 7.11 as our "Bench-mark" for so long I am not even sure. I know there were one or two Supra's down there as well but not sure if they were in the teens or twenty's?

We have the MPH covered so now it's just a matter of getting that short-time down and it should be right where we want it

So when are you guys going to turn it up?

66biskwik

So is 7:11 the record or isn't there any official one.

atomicfusion

There is no official one as far as I know, but sal has been quickest...

66biskwik

At the present.
