HICKL Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Finally went to the 1/8 mile to learn how to launch on street slicks but it was a fiasco. It rained right when we got there. 3 hours later, they let us on the track, was not very tacky at all. Only got 3 passes in and was there for 5 hours. Best 60' was 1.85 which is an indicator of how slick the track was. I have done a 1.80 on the same track with my skinny street tires. Didn't really learn anything but still better than sitting on the couch. Here's a clip of me against the loadest RX7 on the planet. My car hooked for about 2 feet then spun the rest of the way thru first gear. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/d514e421-3a24-4145-8ae9-996e008a5697.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Good run, enjoyed watching it. I would give them another try at a well prepared track. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HICKL Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks Jon, don't worry, I can't wait to go back. Normally that track is really good. LT280Z, I posted in the motorsports/events area that I was going. I got no replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT280z Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yeah, I have been busy lately and hadn't looked at the events section. Email me next time you go out page3teddy@yahoo.com Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HICKL Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 well? hows that engine working out? it LOOKS like youve got it tunned and running OK in that video? are you happy with the new combo vs the old combo? Engine is working good, I wish that RX7 wouldn't have been so load, I wanted to hear mine at WOT. New combo is much better (seat of pants) than the old one. Could still benifit from a Victor JR type intake and freer flowing exhaust. It's so dang hot or wet in Houston right now, that I haven't been driving it much.

grumpyvette Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 http://www.camaro-untoldsecrets.com/articles/crossram.htm offy makes a killer intake for your combo, summit sells them, yeah it takes some tunning skills but it looks and opperates great and makes more power than the vic design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
