Ford vs. Chevy, who wins? The guy with the drag racing setup of course, but how about the burnout the Toyo RA-1s make?

What does Santa do when he's not delivering toys? He flags races.

Happy New Year all. See ya at the dinner.[/img]

I left my race car in the garage alone for too long and it just doesn't seem the same anymore.... :shock:

[Tex89]

Rob,

I know thats your garage, but the silver car isn't yours, what gives?

[AI#97]

Curious what you got your 60' time down to on the RA1's...

[Rob Liebbe]

And you called me cheap a while back :roll:

[macstang]

1.9 60 ft.

I dont think the TA/PHB helps much on that.

[CMC17]

1.9 on street radials is very good indeed. The best I ever was able to obtain on BFG's 275-50/15's is 1.89 and ran 7.98sec in the 1/8 mile. With M/T slicks it would trip the 60' lights with the rear tires and run mid 6's in the 1/8.

Sometimes I miss those days. lol

[GlennCMC70]

my 98Z pulled low 1.8's on Nitto DR's (315's) @ 3600-3700 lbs. that was also w/ a RR set-up on it. that was doing my best to not destroy the stock 7.5" 10 bolt. car ran low 7.90's @ 95'ish mph in the 1/8. never got traction till 3rd - just before the lights. 1/4 mile predictions were around high 11's @ 123-125 mph or so. never got to take it out to any 1/4 stuff once i got into RR.
factory stock w/ BFG DR's and a exhaust dump just before the stock muffer, car ran a 13.0 @ 105 or so. that was way back in 1999.

[Mike Bell]

First liar don't stand a chance... :lol:

[GlennCMC70]

First liar don't stand a chance... :lol:

ouch Mike.

[AI#97]

Back before my first AX, I was into the drag racing thing. With an o/r h pipe, 3.73's, u/d pulley and MT ET streets, I had my rustang running 8.20 -.22 consistantly in the 1/8th and 13.02 in the 1/4 destroying clutches and differentials. Averaged 1.65 60's though and won a few bracket events. All of this on 245 rwhp!!!

Car had a 12.99 in it but never got the chance before I decided drag racing was too expensive.....what the hell was I thinking?!!! :lol:

It would be interesting to see what I could get it to run now?! :?

[CMC17]

I have video and timeslips....along with a friend's brother's ex-wife's sister-in-law's cousin's grandpa as a witness!

[macstang]

I never spent a whole lotta time or money on drag racing.

I see at as a cheap way to spend the night. And a fun way to dyno the car. 111 mph@3500 lbs = about what the dynojet measured it at.

I was always more into dirt tracking, but needed a dedicated car for that. Never got to run my dirt car on the drag strip, but I swear, in the next few weeks, I'm gonna run the CMC 44 at the drag strip.

Too many cars break at the drag strip, too much shit gets talked, and if someone drives there car into mine, unlike the road course, I cannot expect shit outta them in return for their either carelessness or failure to properly prep their car.

Every time I go there I dread lining up against those poorly prepped, over powered accidents waiting to happen.

At least at the dirt track, I expect to get driven into lol.

Yup, my New Years Eve is at home with the kids and Barrett-Jackson.

[GlennCMC70]

come-on guys, i didnt drag race @ Band Camp.

i got a couple vids on the computer. a few time slips here and there. but my word is all you should need. :!:

I think there is some chain yanking going on... I wouldn't take it to heart. :D

[GlennCMC70]

i'm highly offended when you doubt i'm the man. :wink:

<-------- the guy who has won zero NASA CMC Championships.

[mitchntx]

Don't forget I was there the last time you visited a drag strip.

My silence can be purchased.

[AI#97]

Ha! Glenn must have gotten beaten by a freight train of box stock mustangs!!! :wink:


<---has plenty of video, hundreds of time slips and spreadsheets to check consistancy...I was a bracket racer afterall! :wink: with a 5spd car at that! 8)

[Mike Bell]

First liar don't stand a chance... :lol:

ouch Mike.

Just jammin the drag racin stories, not anyone in particular. Happens in fishing or skiiing or whatever sport type stories all the time too lol.

Never ever put down the numbers first, second guy always trumps ya!

[GlennCMC70]

all those F-body, Mustang, my great uncle's Lambo web site where they have a "Street Kilz" forums......... me and Mitch always refere to them as "First Liar Dont Stand a Chance" forums.

i was just trying to fit in..... i just want to be one of the boys. guess i drive the wrong platform.

[Mike Bell]

Yeah, like the Camaro is a dog at the drag strip. Remember, I drive a supercharged LT1 C4 when the wife's not using it...

ford vs. chevy - been going on long before we got here and hopefully it'll keep going on for many years to come.

Besides, you picked up some new blood with the Al Fernandez trade, no?

[Boudy]

Cool Mike. I bet that C4 is really neat to drive. I had an LT4 C4 and really enjoyed the heck out of driving it.

Boudy

[GlennCMC70]

not the best pass, but the only vid i was sent. captured this pic from it.

[mitchntx]

I remember this one ...

[GlennCMC70]

oh, you wanna show the NAAAAWWWWZZZZZ pass.

[Todd Covini]

...from the top again...

Very cool, Jerry!!!
I wish that Maroon Marauder had some AI decals on it though!!! :wink:
It would be great for a handful of us to meet up at the dragstrip in 2007 sometime for some heads-up AI or CMC racing in full road race trim...might get some converts!?!

Rob...don't fret about your car looking funny after sitting so long. Once you get in it and drive it again, it'll feel like the true sportscar that it is!!! :lol:

-=- Todd

PS- My best time was a low 1.7 and 7.70.....with the top down. 8)

[AllZWay]

I don't do much drag racing, but about once a year or so I go out and do a few passes in the street car that is setup for the road course and DE's.

I think the best 1/8 pass is only in the low to mid 8's.

I did make it to the final 4 out of a couple hundred f-bodies at the SLP day a few years ago and to the final 6 out of a 100+ f-bodies at the Hallsville f-body shootout about 6 years ago.

So that's what the back end of a 4th Gen looks like, I always wondered...

:D :D :D

[Waco Racer]

I guess when they lap by you so fast, you don't have much time to remember what they look like. :lol:

[Mike Bell]

Aww, that the best you got Cliffy? C'mon man, spend a minute on it will ya? :roll:

BTW, when you gonna shake that big hat and go racing with us instead??? Forget Spec Pinata Rental-ville, get a V8. :wink:

[jeffburch]

"Wasted away again in SpecPinataville,
Searchin' for my lost horse-power.
Some people claim that there's a R-X-Seven to blame,
But I know it's my own damned fault."

jb

ps, lost testicles more like it! :lol:

[CMC17]

I guess when they lap by you so fast, you don't have much time to remember what they look like. :lol:


Uh, not exactly. ;)

From the rear, they look like they are doing the macarena under heavy braking. Lots of powah, but handling on the edge seems suspect. lol
