Great vid's man.. :beerchug:

Man I miss Kennedale and good to see the place hasn't changed one bit. The betting can get pretty funny out there. Unless your a guy that runs nitrous.. Then it can get quite interesting extremely fast. lol

[lxmodguy]

It could be a guy on a moped running a guy on a bicycle and they would bet on it. They will bet on anything going down the track.

nice runs

[surfer1420]

Car is wanting something different now. The old set up and launch aren't working with the new wheels and tires. I may need to change the rear shocks as soon as I get caught up from all the new house stuff.

[wtfot]

You need 20"s so sell me your current setup. :)

[ROZ ONE]

LMAO ....Nice one Bill !!!

[surfer1420]

ZMaybe 20" wide. lol

I just might have to run my car next time and line up next to ya Jorge.! BTW. What psi should I run for drag on my stockers.

Usually I like to progressively drop it lower each run and see what gives me the best results. It always depends on the tire, how much sidewall you have and other variables. There's not an exact number. Best 60's I have gotten was on 25psi any lower and my car was not so happy. But every car and tire is different so its just something you will have to test.

Maybe you can line up with him Sunday in Denton?

That would be cool, but I doubt it'll happen. Kalem is correct in saying each car and tire will want something different. I know the F1's hook better than the RSA's. Being a stick you will find that street tires will never hook the way you think they will. You will have to baby it out of the hole and roll the power on slowly. Otherwise you will look like the guy in the Camero Sunday. I would start somewhere around 25 to 26 lbs and see how it works from there. Being a radial street tire if you get much lower than 21 or 22 lbs the tire will not work at all. Again this being a stick, it is totally different than an auto on the launch. Best thing to do is go to the track, and try a few different things to see what the car wants.

[AdamkSRT8]

I c gates at 9 what time does the actual racing start Sunday? Is it going to be like this past Sunday line up and go or are these actual bracket / what ever you call it racing.

[surfer1420]

Sunday is the TMCC race. It is an actual bracket race. Friday night is a test n tune night in Denton.

Ah I have no biz in the mix on Sunday then LOL.

Everyone can bracket race and you should join us. I raced my 2010 on F1's last year with 24#'s in the rear tires.

Jorge is spot on and the resident authority on tire and launch scenarios.

I am planning on going out Friday night to get time in the cooler air.

[AdamkSRT8]

I might go Friday night. Working on Tasha.. trying to get her wanting to go. We will see.

[surfer1420]

Bill, thanks for the kind words, but an authority I'm not. I am however willing to help anyone who cares to listen to my opinion. lol

[karh4ck3r]

At first glance, I thought you had named your car Tasha.

[AdamkSRT8]

Whoa whoa whoaaaaa. No LOL. That's the wifey. She would be all for it if she's driving but when shes not doesn't have much interest in racing. We will see. The gambling part sounds fun.too.
