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) |

I went last week for the first time. Traction did not exist !
I was on kumho 295/35/18 mx street tires, it tossed the tires off repeatedly while I was going through the traps in fourth (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . The track is at 2200 feet above sea level. Here's a vid of qualifying. http://media.putfile.com/merace18 I won the heads up outlaw class on street tires (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) . It was fun, but they gave me heck for taking the turnoff to the return road too fast (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
