I race for fun as well ... before I got the Mustang, I raced a stock '92 Integra LS with 270k miles in the Top Dog competition for fun, and have taken my '99 F350 dually down a few times - just enjoyed the "rush", never really had much of a chance of winning anyway, just worked on improving times/launches/etc :lol:. I've had pretty good luck with the Mustang at Dorchester though - most every race I was challenged to turned in my favor (there's been some exciting close ones too!) because people underestimated a little V6 driven by a girl :mrgreen:. My video against a Challenger R/T has over 145 comments on YouTube of people arguing, cheering, and having panties in a twist :)

I don't put money on races, and the only crap talk I do is in good fun :bigthumb:

Thats funny as hell, I just went and found that video so I could read the comments.

Those stupid hemi owners are some of the worst fan-boy's Ive ever encountered I swear if the car has hemi or RT badge as soon as you buy it the alien's must come down and suck half your brain out.

I like any brand as long as its fast and there's nothing with an RT or SRT badge that has ever impressed me stock for stock versus some medium budget performance car.

Its extremely bad when you can buy the most expensive Dodge SRT challenger/charger and the most expensive Camaro SS and just get slap run over by the cheapest Mustang GT, then the non SRT or SS models get slap run over by the V6.

Ran the 5.0 today for the first time and was happy with the numbers.

8.01 at 89.99 with a 1.90 60 foot
7.95 at 91.54 with a 1.93 60 foot
7.91 at 90.45 with a 1.91 60 foot


60 foots are not where they should be, but i was happy with the first time out and hopefully will see some lower 7s in the near future with some taller/better tires :bigthumb:

You said it yourself those tires havent been used in 3 years. Plus they were a little too short.

LXtasy
01-01-2011, 08:51 PM
I am curious. If they were short wouldn't they in theory raise the "numeric " value of the rear gear? Thus entailing a quicker time down the track as if you did a rear gear swap?

clubracergt1
01-01-2011, 09:02 PM
That would be true, however, it sounds like there was an 'available traction' issue, as well

01-01-2011, 10:07 PM
yeah the tires have been sitting for 3 years in the garage and was definately a little to short in my opinion. The 60 foots alone were terrible for such high mph and would spin thru 1st and half of second. I am looking at 28's or even 29's it they will fit. Nevertheless i had a blast and cant wait to go again when it is a little cooler and i have better tires.

Lurch
01-01-2011, 10:18 PM
25" Tire's were slipping even when the car shifted, Also those tire's are 3" shorter than the stock tire's the stock shift points are around 7200 so add the shorter tire and slipping is why it was hitting the Rev limiters. Will do better with new drag radials

I was outrun by a Z-71 that was a strong truck in 4x4 I was on stock tires, Even whemn I hit 3rd gear the truck was spinning, Went and asked him to race again with slicks he said noway, Asked him to race Chris's truck he declined, Oh whell that's what I get for bringing a Knife to a Gun Fight LOL Had fun!!

Mitch I think that guy is on this forum actually. I was disappointed when he wouldn't run you with slicks. He is launching in 4 wheel drive. Sounds like he wont take a race when there is a chance of him losing.

Hahaha, they haven't been sitting 3yrs. They were on the car when I was going back to MIR in sept of 09, the event ended up getting canceled but they got some street miles on them then. They've been sitting unused for about 15 months or so, but the last time they saw the track they were cutting 1.5's on my car after sitting for over a year.

Homo just needs some more seat time in that beast and to heat the tires up more. He was trying to be gentle and not burn the tires up too much.

Hey, i've only had mine out ... Ok whatever i aint gonna tell no lies.

Chris, i saved every slip but 2 or 3 that ive lost somewhere at the track or at the house, so I can almost give you an exact number, I think you'd have a hard time coming close.

I can't believe the transmission is still holding togather, I baught the truck with 30,000 miles bone stock and it has over 90,000 on it now with at least 20-30,000 of that on the track or to the track, other than 3 trips to Jax Fla its never been out of the state under its own power.

My truck doesn't count because its not on the site anymore.

but

I had almost 1000 before Randy even started racing his truck. Hell Darryl Buckner used to borrow it for bracket races back in 03-05 when his cars were down. I had my truck almost 4 years before most these guys started racing theirs, that was a good head start.

I knew that, thats why I put it in my post "on this site". There's no doubt yours had a ton of passes, I was at the track with you on alot of them. I bought mine in 05, I took it to cooper river with a paper tag on it a week later.

3 weeks before I bought my truck and one of the reason's I bought a black one was because I was at NAPA changing plugs on my boat and you pulled up to the 110 pump at the pride with slicks on. I remember thinking "boat+truck+slicks= Novel idea" two - three weeks later I bought one.

Ran my first track pass in my truck in 2005. Only ran 11s then. Took me 7 years from the time I bought it to get it to run 9s. But I finally did it last October. Bet I don't have 100 passes on it.

Oh, you meant nines in the eigth. My mistake.:oops:

Thanks for telling me about this site, Chris. Trailer will be aquired this year and I will get to drag my truck to points South. Hopefully Lowes sometime. Definately the Southern Truck Shootout next time.

That was by intention BTW. The first sentence of my last post had a message he didn't get but played right into it out of rage.

I found his button, on purpose.

Nevertheless its nice to see you here, and like Chris said the tracks cut us some slack around here which is nice and some of the better ones ask us opinions on here and treat us well.
