TERRIBLE 1/4 times in my S/C Mach 1

Reloaded · October 23rd, 2008, 03:23 PM

First one, rear tires were around 35 PSI, and, well I suck. I need lots more seat time. This is only my third time to the track, 2nd in the Mach, and 1st since it's been supercharged:

First 1/4 mile run with the Eaton

Second vid put the rears at 25 psi, but still spun like crazy. Camera guy forgot about the idea of bracket racing, so the guy closest to the camera dialed in slower than me so he tried to follow, but I left after. Overall it was fun, but disappointing to say the least. Oh well. Just need a lot more practice.

2nd 1/4 mile run in the Eaton swapped Mach

And here's the vid for the tow vehicle; my friend's '05 F-350. Info about it is on the streetfire page:

'05 F-350 diesel first quarter mile run

After washing her, before loading her on the trailer:

The trailer:

ON!!

My horrific time slip (I'm on the right):

Goober ran not even a second slower in a s/c v6...

Gorgeous car man. More seat time FTW!

Thanks! Yeah, definately more seat time is needed. Season ends this month though unfortunately. I'll have to wait till next year.

haha thats funny. you need to put some DR's on it and get those 60' down. i was running a 2.2x 60' all night. 1 2.3 and 2 2.4 and 1 2.5

trap speed is good. just get those 60' down and you will be in the 12s for sure

Yep, that's exactly what I'm figuring. I'll be looking into a set of DRs and wheels for next year.

Not sure of exact numbers yet. Hoping to go to the dyno within the next month. Going to shoot for about 2 weeks from now.
