I love multiple threads about the same thing…
i dident want to go to hooters
anyone get any slips?? bet it was fuckin crowded tonight
I was there. there was a blue skyline there. 1st run was like 17 sec 2nd was 15 and 3rd was 14. there was something seriously wrong with that car. was blowing smoke like crazy all 3 times. I think a bad head gasket
My best tonite was a 14.7. (4th run)…My 1st run was horrible. No traction in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear!!! (with a 2000rpm launch)…4th run took off normal…managed a .97 r/t and a 1/4 of 14.75. 60 ft’s blew all 5 runs. I need Drag Radials or slicks for better traction.
It was perfect tonite. 5 runs within a 2hr period!!!

I saw it not to long ago blowing clouds of black smoke everywhere.
I’ve pulled multiple 2.0 60’s on the stock tires, you just have to learn how to get around the wheel hop and hope they prep the track well. I assume you’re bone stock? Does your car sit at Pittsburgh Mills? If so, I saw it Monday.

Yea thats the 1 i got a pic of it. Nice car but has some problems
from what i know sammy is that its a r33 with stock turbo.supposedly it was at mcdonalds last tuesday.my friend called me but i was to late and didnt get to see it.i think he lives in california but not to sure
post them up i wanna see this thing.
Yeah i work up at Cinemark Theatre at the Mills…That was my car u saw. Wheel hop isn’t as much of a problem for me (i installed race MMI’s Tuesday night)…I spin more than anything now…I have no power adding mods right now, so in that respect, i’m stock. There were a few older guys that were saying the track conditions were less than ideal…Don’t think it was that bad tho personally…I will say that with each run, my times were getting better…Next time i’ll lower the tire pressure, see what that does.
Lots of trial and error involved with launching these cars…haha
When I was stock I had no problem with spinning at all, ran 13.9@101 or something like that. You might just need to come off the line easier. I remember revving to around 2000 and quickly slipping the clutch. The best 60’s actually came w/ some wheel hop. I have solid motor mounts and noticed absolutely no difference in wheel hop. WOT shift and drop your tire pressure to about 26 hot.
Is your car an 03 or 04-05? If it’s 04-05 you should be able to pull a high 13 with a good pass.
I have a 05. I think lowering the tire pressure will help alot. I’ll also try slipping the clutch as opposed to dropping it. The 60ft is the obvious weak point in my runs. My R/T’s could use a bit of work as well. I absolutely refuse to WOT shift. Not worth possibly blowing the tranny to get better times.
Thanx for ur advice. I’m planning on going back out next wednesday. We’ll see what happens.
