jnjdragracing Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I posted the videos from 12/10/2005 at Carolina Dragway. 1/4 mile was shutdown so we only could run 1/8 mile. I filmed video from the stands and they had someone else filming video from the starting line, so you will have 2 videos of almost every pass. It shows a good prospective of the z-car. It was a cold night and it got colder and we kept running faster before we broke a halfshaft. We really tore it up this time, both u-joints along with the tube was twisted off. We were asking alot from the half shafts. Anyway I hope you all enjoy the videos, and as usually no one would line up next to us, I guess the Z-Car scared them or we imtimidated them.

Cruez Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Nice runs... You're running that monster without wheelie bars Too bad the truck wouldn't stage... that would have been amusing to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 That thing is an absolute beast! Love it! I'm running a 3.54 R180 locker with std half shafts. Any details on times you've run with them? I'm heading to the strip this weekend and am just wondering how much I should expect from them?

jnjdragracing Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 We have run a 5.84 in the 1/8 with a 3.55 r200 and a 9.54 in the 1/4 at 148mph. This time the half shafts did well, we ran them at the elgin track with no problems then at Carolina Dragway, but with the cooler air, we were putting out a lot more power. Just remeber to do easy burnouts after you do the burn out and you are comming out of it, just left off. Also you must minimize the squat of the rear to keep the u-joints in a line not angled. Good luck.... That thing is an absolute beast! Love it! I'm running a 3.54 R180 locker with std half shafts. Any details on times you've run with them?

jnjdragracing Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yeah no wheelie bars, not sure where you would mount them on a independent supension. Nice runs...

jnjdragracing Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yeah I was hoping the truck would stage with us. He did his burnout 1st then we did ours, but he backed down. It was the same way at the Elgin track, no one would line up next to us. i like to see us run other cars to give us a perspective of how much harder our car pulls on top end. Maybe at the z-shootout some cars will pull up next to us. It is all in fun anyway...... Nice runs...
