Dragster testing

[Subman]

I do a high gear burnout. I don't start out in low gear. I don't like shifting it's just harder on parts. I don't have any trouble getting them to turn over. Ken, It's the same motor out of the white truck(LBZ) 2100 with me suited up full of fluids. It doesn't spin on the hit it's on down the track that i'm having problems. Listen to the video. I will figure it out or I will take it to someone that will.

I caught it that time, sounds like Max'd Out did the first time at the track, tires squeeled all the way down the track, we thought it was tire spin, turned out to be the front tires towing in all the way down the track, obviously not your problem. It sounds and looks great Jeff, can hardly wait to see it at Indy.:thumb:

congrats Jeff, wish i was able to come see this thing in action. cant wait to see someone else in the #1 spot

 

[DMAXchris]

Great work Jeff!

Looking forward to seeing it this summer!

Congrats Jeff it looks great.

 

[wrcknkrw]

Congrats. Love the sound of a big single in high rpms.

Are they newer tires? Zane had a heck of a time getting the Hoosiers on his dragster to hook consistently, switched over to an M&H tire and it helped the 60-ft times quite a bit.

Hey I just loaded it from a text.

Just be happy ecc33 was sober enough to get the footage. :rofl:

If anyone has a I phone my other buddy will send the video and maybe we can get a better one this time. I think Eric's phone is drunk.

LOL If you think my phone was drunk you should have seen me mow the yard later that night :spit::thumb:. Dude this thing is SICK sounding. I think i was more pumped then Jeff after the first pass. Once Jeff pull's the tow tune out this thing is going to scream. Yea they were brand new slicks.

Very impressive, Jeff. Nice run!


I like tacos.

not to try and slight Jeff's work, as his first passes were pretty stellar, but losing a full second from a 8 second pass is a monumental task. beating the Banks boys without Gale's checkbook will be tough.

again I struggle to emphasize how cool I find it what he has done with what I'm pretty sure is a whole lot more realistic budget, and also for not "Wadeing" in and taking a year to complete a full pass!

I bet guy has a little something up his sleeve to shut them up.

Trust me I would love to see the working man topple the big money boys but it's tall order. I really like seeing someone get it right without spending silly money getting there, so I'm all about these results!

An older gentlemen in a max'd out shirt pointed out a perfect example of this to me at ennis:thumb:. Great vid, would love to see this car run with banks/scheid/power service

I only want to run 7.50's with this car. That's the problem as I see it with most of the guys racing diesels. They want to be the hero and make record passes. I just want to win!!! I'm not the fastest guy at the races but I normally find a way to win. You have to finish to win. You have to go ROUNDS! most teams break or smoke the tires or find a way to lose. I will take my chances running mid 7's and hope I can outlast them. It has worked pretty good so far. I'm not sure the banks car has made as many passes as I have and theres has been done for years. It always breaks. I'm a little guy with a little budget and I just want to race and have fun. I can promise everyone that I will have MORE FUN than anyone in the class! The NX dragster had the rite outlook on how they raced and it worked well for them. I hope to do the same. Thanks everyone. Jeff(you have to be in it to win it)Dean:roflmao:

The older part is right, not so sure about the gentleman part.

 

[ecc_33]

Hey boom boom :roflmao: I think you got my oil leak fixed. And with your luck you will run 11's and win that class lol

Well... Give it some time. He had a MEAN looking project in his shop last year. Haven't been back since. But I'm sure it's time will come.

 

[MarkBroviak]

What size are your slicks Jeff?

 

[ripmf666]

Congrats Jeff nice looking run.

 

[LWATSON]

Congrats Jeff, I think your 7.5 second goal is a good move! Like you said your going to have lots of fun, breaking stuff aint fun.
