Well I went up to the 1/4 mile for the first time on Friday...
I think I did reasonably well for having V700 Escta tires on... 12.60 @113/114 Anyways, I have heard of people disconnecting the front sway bar helps the car hook. Question is - does this still work on cars with independant rear suspension? Shocks - what settings would you recommend? soft? hard? Looking forward to getting some drag radials for next year (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

60' was 2.0.... road race tires (pretty much) not conducive to launching (stiff sidewalls).
front bar is larger... 32 hollow instead of 30 hollow - also not conducive to drag racing. air filter is synthetic You're probably right about drag radials going to make my clutch not last very long... and as Danny says "that's the only thing they won't let me replace"... Maybe after a few more times it will get boring. Other than the drag radials & disconnecting my front bar there isn't anything I can do to make it quicker and still have the car SS legal. |
