Track Racing - Racing Videos, Pictures, Slips!

[MexSiR]

Last Saturday I went track racing, it was one of my last times. Gonna sell my car if i get accepted into an american university, so just going to fix all the dents and sell it in a good condition. It has been the funnest track day ever, lots of cool races. I did weight reduction in order to accomplish my best time at 5400 feet above sea level with a hot climate. Took of the spare tire, tools, jack, back seats and passenger seat. I made my best run, I concentrated and I was facing the christmas tree with nobody on the other side, alone, which takes off the reaction time pressure. I reved my engine up to 6700 Rpms and feathered the clutch, didnt dump it, my wheels barely spun, only a chirp. I accomplished a 16.647. So from all the different techniques ive tried feathering the clutch with no spin at high rpms is the fastest way. Most people just dump the clutch.

Theres my two time slips, i ran constant 16.6, 16.7s.


I raced some nice cars and was surprised to beat some of them.

I raced a Ford Lobo Harley Davidson pickup truck which i believe has a 4.6 supercharged LT1 engine producing 360 horsepower (around that)
These `totally ghetto guys came up to me in their pimpin harley davidson pick up truck ready to blast me. Didnt count on my driving techniques, and I got the truck by about 2 cars. I beat a supercharged V8 with a high revving 1.6 NA honda engine.

Theres the video
SiR vs Ford Lobo

I also raced a Seat Leon 1.8T (Spanish car company owned by VW) The car was a 03 model and it has the exact same engine as the Golf 1.8 turbo. 1.8 liter turbo 180 horsepower 6 speed. I took him three out of four times, so proud of that race.

I also raced a Chevrolet Astra GSI. Same as american cavalier z24 with the 2.2 liter 145 hp engine. I didnt drive that well, but i still took the NA 2.2 liter by 2 cars and a half.

2.2 liter 145 hp

My other race was against a 2000 civic SiR, had some bolt ons, i am stock and i fucked him.

Those were my interesting races. Some times that stock cars are pulling on my city are as follow: Mustang GT 98 16.8-17.0, Mustang GT 2003 15.9, Camaro V8 15.7.

There were also some nice cars. A guy had a 2003 GT mustang he was pulling 15.9-16.0 and when he sprayed 100 Shot he said, he was pulling 13.8. Damn such a difference.

Some pictures:

My ride after the track at my house

An Audi S6, Mustang and mercedes (audi S6 runin low 15s)

I videotaped, passed it to the computer, posted, took pictures everything so you guys could see it. Is this a GREAT post or what?

Peace, MEXSIR

Congratulations on the kills.

ford lobo 4.6 LT1? the Lt1 is a chevy motor. and im thinking it wasnt supercharged because im having a hard time understanding how driver skills alone can make a 160hp car take a 360hp pickup. especially when you were pulling close to 17s. a lighting i.e. supercharged 46l american V8 pickup has 385-390hp and runs mid to high 13s.. i dont mean to be hating, but thats a pretty tall order

[MexSiR]

Man, I never lie. Im sure it was the v8 supercharged ford pickup, it was a new model with chrome 19s or 18s rims and everything the harley davidson model has. Remember im in a hot weather plus 5000 ft above sea level. Im pulling 15.3 at sealevel.

[kidrocket]

ok thats a 1.4 second difference.

apply the same to the truck and youre looking at 15s. seriously im not trying to call you a liar or anything like that at all. im just not understanding i guess. either way, good post. i enjoyed the vids. i like the seat. i have the same motor and cant wait for my chip, diverter valve and exhaust

[MexSiR]

Yeah I see what you mean, theoretically its supposed to smoke me. It was an automatic, so i got ahead of it with a good launch and the truck was catching me closer and closer, it started pulling really hard after 60 mph. If the race wouldve been a little longer he wouldve won. I got a lead of about 3 cars from head, and ended in 1 /1/2 car lead.

[kidrocket]

how long have you had your car? seeing those vids made me get all nostalgic

[DkShadow]

hmm, what were the timeslips on that Pickup? If its supercharged the high elavation shouldnt be much of a toll. Either way.. .Good kills.

[Miataracer]

you are not talking about a lightning though right? the HD truck I thought was a supercrew?

I dont think so and yes the HD is the supercrew. 02+ Harleys also had the blower and run low 15s stock. When modded watch out

Whenever I see cars racing with neon lights, I throw rocks at them... but yours I'll let it past since you're selling it.

[MexSiR]

Thanks for the comment. Throw rocks at me if you can catch me!

Well...I guess most of you can catch me, 15.3 is a little fast but not fast. Some neons look like ass in some cars, neons in mine looks good I think. Its all about having fun and spanking more powerful and expensive cars.

[Ricochet]

lmfao I'd shit if somebody beat me who has neons and strobes blinking all over the place.
You should try pulling somebody over with them hahaha!

[MexSiR]

When im on the highway it works im dead serious, if im on the right lane with no strobes and turn them on, people always go to the right. Fun stuff.

[Ricochet]

Do you have any idea how much trouble you could get in for doing that?

btw I forgot to mention, nice kills
