SON's Fastest?

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Sounds NUTZ … love it.

not really sure to tell you the truth…its fast on the track…but we dont have any real references for 1/4 mile times or anything

i would guess high 11’s or so…it does pull very good

Bob don’t be so obtuse. BFG Drag Radials are $130US (255/50R15) from the tire rack, if you want to get serious Hoosiers can be had for less than $200US. That’s not such a staggering amount that no one on here can affort to run a slick. :wink:

used 15 or 16" slicks are ridiculouly cheap. I picked up my last set of Hoosiers for about $100 for 2.

Some guys will only do two or three passes on them and get new ones. Wheels up big hp cars need consistancy.

VHT + used slicks … more grippy than you’ll ever need.

You can also hit up the circle track guys for a set. They’re not the same as drag slicks, but they’re still a big step up in traction.

will an RA-1 be better than a street tire for drag?

i have a few used RA-1’s that i need to burn through

yea ra 1’s would work pretty decent for drag im sure…

i dont know what ill be using to make my passes this year… i wanna try a few things

GT

awesome, i have 6 RA-1’s that are starting to show belts, i dont hit the circuit so i need somewhere to run them…

i’ll prolly wear them on the street anyways…lol

Does this mean my Supercharged IROC-Z will be able to lay it down ?

I’m estimating 11s if all goes well.

ra1’s kinda suck…caus eit takes alot to get them up to temp

though they seem better than streets

adam

understood,

it’s either RA-1’s that i got cheap, or Dunlop FM901’s that i paid more for.

Whichever tires you end up using, bring an air pressure gauge. Dropping pressure 8-10 psi makes a huge difference getting traction.

Just remember before you start getting sticky tires and playing with VHT (not directed at anyone, just a general rule) in underpowered cars, you’d rather run tires that will spin rather than tires that will grip.

Huge grip and no power will bog every launch and drop you out of your power band. An underpowered car with a blown launch will go even slower :wink:

Who’s actually been down the 1320 before?

That will play a huge role in who’s the fastest.

At least the more inexperienced drivers we have, the less chance there will be of having Mr.Arse-faced headgame guy … they piss me off.

Closer to the actual day, I think people with experience should whip together a quick how-to for everyone else. I can’t stress enough how challenging drag really can be.

Blown IROC?

This keeps getting more and more interesting. Who else has cars hiding? Not only will we get to see who’s the fastest SON 240, we’ll get to see how the club’s cars stack up against real street machines.

… real street machines… LOL holy. gun rack’s R us has a new spokesman it seems.

uhh … yeah.

Street Machine would be anything considered below Pro Street, but above EZ Street. A “real” street machine would be something that falls in this class and actually gets raced.

I guess my confederate flag boxers were showing on that one. Let me rephrase that, and leave as much of my backwoods redneckian out of it.

“It will be most fascinating to see the gents from the club in their Nissan 240sxs having a good bit of sport with those chaps in their already speed-trials prepared cars, which have a certain penchant for eating a quarter of a mile’s worth of tarmac in less than 13 seconds.”

A 240 would need a V8 and wheel tubs to even think of being considered a Street Machine and even still, hybrids tend to end up Import classes anyway. I didn’t think anyone on this board had a 240 that would fit the description. Import drag racers tend to prefer having the term “import” in their classes, but ahem “Dang … who da dun thunk it?”

Oh … is that my attractive cousin?

Gotta go

:roll:

ok im for sure not one of SON’s fastest…

so what else is there to compare??

how about SON’s LOWEST???
