Re: 1/8 th mile track results
Nice runs man. Makes you wanna run 8psi on the street all the time huh? :)
Was today the first time you've tried out the new slicks? 1.9 60's ehh, wonder if a higher stall would bring you some 1.7's |

Re: 1/8 th mile track results
On the subject of real track or not, 1/8 is a LOT harder to race than 1/4.
Setting up a 1/4 car just takes power, setting up a 1/8 mile car requires heavy traction efforts. Street/strip cars usually blow for the 1/8 mile. In all reality, 1/8 is more of a race because even if you have a slightly faster car you can't just "catch up" with the other guy if he leaves the line better than you do. Reaction times become a lot more critical too :) Of course going faster is more fun, hence 1/4 is more common, but 1/8 is very much real racing. |
Re: 1/8 th mile track results
;D You hit it right on the head with that statement Baldur.I figure if i can get it dialied in on the 1/8th mile track then when i finnally do make it to the 1/4 mile track ill have the launch down.Then all i have to do is rely on my setup to propel me through the top end of the track.
