Chike's 4.44 N/A record falls

Budfreak · #1 11-04-2006, 05:00 PM

I went to dragway 42 today and ended up with some impressive times. I ran 14.94@92.63 MPH and the next one I ran was 14.97@92.21. I also ran a series of 15.0 and 15.1 times all in the 91 MPH range. I'll post up the timeslip and video of the run before the night is through.

Good jorb!

I hope to beat that record next year with the 3.54

Good luck man. I could have easily hit 14.7 or lower by taking off the belts, But my battery sucks and I didn't want to press my luck.

Hopefully by spring I'll be running 13's if all goes well.

Congrats Jason! Just to be clear, what level of weight reduction did you do to the car?

Thanks Chike.

All I did was remove the spare and backseat.

Next year should be interesting, between you, Bill and others. You are running stock cams, correct?

I love to see that Nik. How do you plan on doing that? It looks like its going to be a long winter.

I imagine it won't be very hard. My car was in a very grave state when I made my 05 passes.
Traction alone should shave .3 seconds off my [60ft] time as I had none with my old all-seasons.

It's still just hope though. I don't know how fast I'll be going with what I'll do to the car by next summer.

Dang I wish I coulda been there to see you break into the 14's Jason! I was thinking about you Saturday, and hoping you'd come thru. AWESOME JOB, BUDDY! See you soon at the Waffle House and we can talk about it over lunch.

Heck with that weather we would've been a N/A 13s with a 4.11.
