Default [GRANDSPORTC3 RACING RESULTS + VIDEO] look in here...

11's??? Not yet... but I'm getting close...

New best ET!!! 12.19 @ 115.04

Here is the time slip:



The video is a little messed up (my girlfriend filmed :rolleyes: :rolleyes: )
but it still shows a good burnout :D :D )

Click here to see my 12.19 run

I only arrived very late and got to run only twice... On my second run I didn't get any traction through the first and second gear and only ran mid 12's...

:cheers:

Olivier

I just love that linelock :D :D

This time I shifted into 2nd gear during the burnout to warm up the tires real good...

I did not notice you shifted. My buddy is going to buy a 400+ crate motor from AR also he is 71 into pick it up in Feb. I am thinking about selling both my cars and getting a vert. I would like to put a nice crate in the red one though. If I do I will not sell it. Those line locks sure do make for an impressive burnout. Good luck on getting into the 11's

The AR Racing engine really rocks.... It looks like I didn't shift during the burnout.. but I shifted very early... My 1 - 2 shift on the track was a little slow.. There's potential for another .1. I also shifted from 2 - 3 at too low RPM.. which could be another .1 .... Will see...

Good Job! Won't be long now till you get your 11's. We have very similar timeslips from last night. I think you will get there before me because I don't think I will ever get there. Maybe next week!

My best run was
60' 1.73
1/8ET 8.125
MPH 88.04
1/4ET 12.486
MPH 115.38

I'm still running 3.55's.. the 34 year old original big block rear end... It's still in one piece!!! And - yes - I'm running 275/60R15 BFG Drag Radials.. I already have them since a couple of months...

Your mph indicates that your car is a 11 second car... Now it's up to you to actually get there.. I slowly improved my ET's... Your ET indicates that you loose .1 - .3 when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear... This might be lack of traction.. I'm planning to get 325/50R15 Drag Radials to reduce tire spin...
I'm sure that you'll get to 11's soon.. I won't be able to race again before mid January.. Most strips shut down the tracks for the holidays and open up again mid January...

Mid January!! I'm probably looking maybe mid March. You southern guys have it made. If Ido go in March it will still be very cold. You will get the 11s :D

It never gets really cold here.... Well - it's great that we have 12 months beach season.. but for racing - the hot temps suck...

:cheers:

Olivier

P.S. The temp at the track was approx. mid to upper 50's because a strong cold front came through that night... It won't get any colder than that around here...

You're almost there :yesnod: :cheers:

When you do get into the 11's, can you tow my car down the track? Maybe once my car sees how much fun 11's are, it will quit resisting my every effort to make it faster :jester

Watch for my posts around mid January... I think that I will be able to get into 11's then... I know that I can get up to a .1 better 60' time... That alone would result in .15 faster ET... In addition - if I shift a little quicker and maybe powershift 3 - 4 - I could be in 11's...
