1.480 60' time slip

[chevytrucks92]

Yeah I just wanted to post my slip from Saturday night since its the quickest run I've ever made.

This was from the 2nd round eliminations.

DISCLAIMER: Even though the slip says 1/8th ET, its NOT a 1/8th ET!!! Its 330 ft. So before anybody starts calling BS on a 4.403 1/8th ET with only a 1.480 60, now you know!



On a side note, I would have loved to have had that pass at say Clay City, KY or Bristol, TN, becuase it would have probably been a 1.39-1.42 60 ft and a 4.25-4.30 330 ET and in the 6.60 range at about 102 mph or so for the 1/8th becuase this track is always at least a tenth off of those tracks.

damn, 4 second truck!

Lol. Yeah right, lol.

I did see a pretty bad street car that same night. It was a late model Camaro, LS1 of course. Its had a "few mods" (may as well been a racecar, lol, I mean this thing would probably run circles around a C5 Z06 and they're pretty tough!). Anyways, the guy drove it in to the track, put on a set of slicks and some skinnies up front, and it ran 4.95. That's pretty impressive to say the least. That would probably be a true 11 second street driven car.

I think he had a 1.69 60'.

Back to my bracket, that pass was against a very nice looking 68-70 model Nova (I think it only weighs around 2200 or 2300 pounds--probably should have ran a little better then it did--if mine weighed 2200 or 2300 lbs, it'd be a high 3 second car at this track). And then the very next round, I redlighted against a rail (dragster) that was dialed in 3.48. He ran 3.470 against me. I think his 60' was like a 1.2 something, lol.

Wow ... that is awesome.
My best is 1.676 ... .can't imagine going much faster than that.

Congrats.

[chevytrucks92]

Thanks.

Its wierd becuase I really can't tell any difference in running 4.40 to running 4.61 (my best from the first race), but man I can sure tell a difference from my previous best 60' (1.523) to this 1.480! And even with the old 1.52 60, my 330 was like 4.45 or 4.43 or something, lol.

I dont know how to explain it, but I could really tell the car was hitting hard Saturday, and when I had my 1.48 60, I could really tell the front wheels were up! Always before I couldn't really tell it other then just than when it set them down. But on that pass, I coudl actually tell the front end was up.

So yeah, I can tell a big difference in how the car launches now, even though I only gained about .4 hundredths in the 60, lol. Can't tell it so much on top end though.

Keep it up Matt and you'll be knocking some heads. Way to go.

[chevytrucks92]

Haha, its amazing what a new set of slicks will do!

[Igovert500]

Very nice!

[Mr. Luos]

If only I could pull off a 60' like that.
12's, easy.
11's off the moutain.

Put on a Tri-level wing from Pep-boys and an Mugen exhaust and you'll run 9's!


Good Jorb!! Matt!
