Prp tonight ? Whos going?

**wick** · 07-30-2010, 07:43 AM

I have to thank Bob Myers for all his help. His friend Chuck also. Without those two i would have not been able to get my best ever.
Now, my rear suspension is as ford intended. Stock arms with worn out bushings. Full weight car with a driver that has no idea how to drag race. Haha. I don't have my time slips with me here at work but from memory, here goes.
First pass was a 2.20 60' with a 12.99
second pass was. 1.79 60' with a 12.0?
third pass was. 1.8? 60' with my best et of 12.003.
I can taste 11's and will get it thursday. I am running out of gear real quick and probably losing good time there. I will have a set of slicks on for my next time which will probably give me the needed gear and the better 60' time.
All in all i had the time of my life. Thanks Bob and Chuck!!!

I for sure need more seat time.

**wick** · 07-30-2010, 08:15 AM

I forgot to mention. This was on bfg 275 17 drag radials. Pressures were.
First pass 35psi. Forgot to air down. Haha
second was 24 psi
third was 20 psi.

My mph was right around 120.

Weather was nice, temp wise, high 60s by the end of the night, but I think humidity was still a touch high. 12.18 for me, 1.64 60', right up there with best of the year.

Dude, where was the call? :flipoff: Bill text me you were going after 7pm.
I was home alone with my wife back in Ohio, I would have been able to go.
Congrats though on the new best.
Those 275 BFGs are short and difficult to , can you fit a true 26" or even a 27" tall tire?

Nice!!!

I wanted to see your mph. My pig dyno'd at 538 out at SGS...which is real close to your numbers. I made ONE run...12.17 @ 123. I was rolling on 275 Nitto DRs. Both head gaskets blew on that run. I haven't been back to the since then.

**wick** · 07-30-2010, 10:39 AM

John, thanks bud!!!
j, bob said he was waiting on your call. Oh well...next time
tim, that blows. Literally.

Thanks again guys!!!

**yeahloh95** · 07-30-2010, 10:57 AM

i would say a launch just above idle will get you your 11 sec time slip ,

**TooFast98Cobra** · 07-30-2010, 11:07 AM

Looks like Rob got the itch, lol was little mans car seat in there too? now put that Drive shaft loop on

Yeah when a rail is doing a burnout and I'm like 20 feet away from it I feel that it is pretty pointless answering my phone. I txt'd Matt right afterwards.

**bgblockelcamino** · 07-30-2010, 11:25 AM

congrats rob! glad to hear you making some passes!

**wick** · 07-30-2010, 12:42 PM

Got that right troy. Just a hair over idle and it's in.
Yeppers willie. It was in there. Haha. Loop and t box getting done this weekend.
Thanks jeff. Finally!!!!

No problem Rob, glad you had fun ... lots more in that car, just need to work through the variables.

As Troy said, more launch RPM :D

I offered to load up my 26-9.0 slicks and bring them for him ... I don't think my 26-10.50 DOT's will fit with his longer axles and the way his car sits. Hopefully if he gets his loop and torque boxes done he might be inclined to try some traction next week ;)

Slicks will make you feel like superman.

**wick** · 07-30-2010, 01:55 PM

Hahahahahahaha. Superman indeed. I am looking forward to some good traction. That's for sure. I might be able to launch it around 1500 now.
