Went to the sweet 1/8 mile drags + drift + autocross event wooooo
my car was runnin real good, i havent put my drag radials on any wheels yet, so it was sweet 245/50/r16 street tires for me. launching off idle i lose traction through first and through second. but if i let off and got back on it real fast once i hit second i could hook sometimes.
i was running 7-6lbs, my best time was 8.33 @ ?? w/ 2.4 60 foot they didnt have mph times :1 which was lame. i hate to guess but i think i was goin about ~95-100mph. cause i was in 3rd gear at about 4k rpms and at 5k its 110mph. i did the autocross a couple times which was pretty lame and pretty fun at the same time with the auto trans. i broke my seat the first drag run i did, in the same place. the stud pulled out of the floor again. then i went to the autocross and the whole seat bracket broke and i flew all over the inside of the car. it was lame LOL. i went all the way up onto the trans tunnel, then back down against the door, and i slammed my head on the window LOL. then i hammered the gas and the seat almost went back into the back seat area and i couldnt reach the pedals and barely the steering wheel LOL. you can see in the video where i lock up the front brakes is when the seat broke and i started to fly around LOL... it was pretty fun... if i got a 1.9 60 foot i would be well into the 7s and a little more boost (jeff thinks im dreaming) and some slicks i want to run a 6.9999999 :P here is a ton of pictures and videos. /2006/Drags_4-28-06/Drags_4-28-06_rs.wmv /2006/Drags_4-28-06 |

So you get to drag race, then pull on over and snap off some cone dodging? lol. Sounds like a fun night.
Id pay to have in-car cam of your seat breaking off, hahaha |

I wanted to ride in the car with Johnny to get some in car vids, but he wasn't too hot for that idea
I would have been really freaked out if I was in the car when his seat broke, with him flying over to my side, into the door, into the back of the car... would have been a sweet video though! |

8.7's in the 1/8? I thought you said your car was fast? :-X
johnny, a b16'd hatch would smoke that. |
Re: Went to the sweet 1/8 mile drags + drift + autocross event wooooo
I lost count of how many hondas down there were getting smoked by large chevy trucks.... yeah, they're real fast and Johnny's car is slow ::)
I'd say he did good with the poor traction he gets from street tires |
