Re: Bithlo Challenge

Damn dabomb, once Neff gets his launch down, we're never going to hear the end of it. What was your 1/4? Was it at least close?

Re: Bithlo Challenge

here is my loan slip
RT - 0.816
60' - 2.251
330 - 6.250
1/8 - 9.488@75.73 **best time of my 4runs**
1000 - 12.290
1/4 - 14.628@94.68

so not even a full 1/10th but he beat me nonetheless

Re: Bithlo Challenge

I wouldn't say he slayed you then. Mod for mod I would say you did pretty well.

Re: Bithlo Challenge

Jeff,

Once I get the hang of the launch (and don't shift into 4th gear at 5200 rpm's I should hit the low 14's). If not, there is always room for Vortec. [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Sincerely,
"the automatic slayer"

300bhp??? We'll see... 5-22-2004

Re: Bithlo Challenge

Wes, don't forget that my car had an EASY 60 pounds more than yours did. I had 2 child seats, an air compressor, umbrella, and other miscellaneous junk in my trunk. Couple that with the fact that I had an extra spare tire (the one around my waist). I'm weighing in at 210, I bet you're not 160 soaking wet. That makes 100 lbs my mods had to make up for.

Anyone know what dropping 100lbs. would do to my run time?

Re: Bithlo Challenge

LOL, "umbrella". Make sure you vacuum your car and pee before next time too. LOL. If anything that extra weight probably helped you on your launch.
I bet on dyno day when you guys weigh in, dabombs AT weight will narrow that 100lbs difference.

Re: Bithlo Challenge

a 100 pounds wont do anything. from what i hear and read you have to drop 200lbs before you gain a tenth of a sec. so if you ran a 14.568 and you dropped 200 lbs then you prolly be around 14.4 somewhere, if you did everything the exact same as the 14.568 run.

if anyone has more info on this please share. this is just info that i have read, so i can garuantee any of this info.

Re: Bithlo Challenge

Sorry todd, we didnt make it over to the weighing so u have no proof of this absurd alligation...plus u barely ate anything all day so that gives me back at least 35lbs

Anyways..here is a link from our mostly fun afternoon...unfortunatly the camera stayed in the car through dinner and the night so we have no pics of either waitress

Re: Bithlo Challenge

You guys actually got girls without me?
Oh and just because I have friends and sponsers who happen to like my car.... oh wait, I don't even have to defend myself. It's self explanatory.
The skinny on the weight thingy.... I don't remeber who said about the 200lb thing, but they were right est 200lbs = 1/10sec off. But only if you do the same thing the next time. However, who ever drives the same way unless they do it for a living, so our results would be very complicated to measure. Neff, congrats on the win, thats a good time. Wish I could have joined you guys...

Re: Bithlo Challenge

Neff, that guy with the Nova lives right across the street from me. I thought I saw that car before...

He was pulling into his garage right when I got back. I guess I need to get out and meet my neighbors more often.

Another strange and twisted night.........................

Re: Bithlo Challenge

Wish I could've played with you guys. When is the next one? When do they run at Bithlo, every Friday night? I think I'm going to be in Orlando the 11th and 12th.
