aight well.... Its official, i suck at driving and SLICKS ARE BADASS!!!!!

they were only running 1/8th's so that kinda sucked

60ft was a 1.9, 1/8th was 8.1. The slicks snatched me so hard for the first few feet that it snatched me off the gas, off the shifter, everything. Got back on the gas, second spun some more, and finished with an 8.1.

next run.... I try launching hard again, BAM......



























































Intercooler pipe blew off the headunit and i just coasted to the other end. By the time i got it fixed, they were shutting it down. (what did yall think the bam meant) LOL.

I was pleased. I REALLY liked how the slicks feel. They snatched the piss out of me!!! scary kinda! I learned alot. I need to drop from 12 pounds of pressure to about 10. Need to do my burnout in 2nd gear. But one thing was the 373's and 28" tall tire had me shifting right before the 1/8. Try to push it out but it was redlining too much.

And there was life support helicopter out there cause some lady passed out and wasnt breathing. So they shut the track down for a while for that too. Just a shitty night to go.

i just have to get my driving down. Everyone was saying that it will scare you on the slicks the 1st time and it did. When it hooks, IT HOOKS! I made sure to slide my seat up. My buddy was like "what happened when you came off the line? You spun just for a couple feet and then they hooked and you let off". LOL.

hopefully next time you'll have the two step and be running quarter mile:D
Yeah im going to look into that. And i want to get the tires hotter. They still spun in second. The car bucks bad when shifting. Looks like my suspension is wore out. (prolly is)

yeah its a whole different feel from some 305/35/18s. These things dont do **** compared to some slicks. Felt so good tho. Farrah wants to drive it down the strip but i told he she has to practice her burnout first at the house.

they are ET Drags. Yeah they are definitely sticky when hot! Jerked me off the gas, wheel, shifter everything. I definitely have to slide the chair up. Thanks for the info on the tire pressure blown.

here is his car... something messed up causing it to pull to the left. something about his suspension. Its a mustang but is running a 350. And farrah says "they didnt time it" with her looking at the wrong board! She is definitely a blonde!

No.... farrah took one of when the piping come off. Unless she took it on the other camera then i didnt see it. We had both cameras out because one was doing shittier than the other and then ones battery was doing shittier and so on. Ill ask her when she gets home.

what makes that guy run those 11.4's? his driving looks A+ huh? To be honest with you, i think my heads are wore out. Even on my dyno sheet, im floating the valves at 5500. I just want to get that cobra shortblock and throw those stage 2's on there. and go from there. I will boost it like CRAZY! that p1 will get abused till i get the d1.
