to start off it was cold and traction was hard to come by. anyway 1st pass spin the tires bad cut a 1.41 60 goes 9.10@150.6 not bad.

so we adjust the front end limiters to try and get more weight on the rear of the car well i guees we went a little to far. stood the car on the bumper again.

1st pass 9.10@150.6
2nd run wheelstand ran 12.2 hahah we gave the vette a second head start cause it runs 9.95 and we wanted a close race
3rd run 9.12@150.4

on the 3rd run the hinges broke on the top of the window and the wind got under the glass and ripped the lexan window, deck lid, and wing right the *** off the car. scary and loud as hell when it happened at a buck fitty

heres some pics of the damage

ill be back soon nothing will hold me back from the 8's

 

man ~ I`m jealous......not of the rear window/wing but man, that car has the nuts

 

GOOD GOD

well glad the window got damaged and not yourself.. and a 9.10@150.6 NOT BAD?!?!?! WTF?! nice....

 

That wheel stand was awsome!! sorry bout ur car! I think I want you to drive my car down the track when it runs! lol

 

That's why when I installed my Lexan rear window I went like a rear race car style. Not recommended for the faint at heart. The entire seal lip for the rear window is cut out flush to the outside skin. The Lexan window is then slid under the skin and riveted to the body. That way there's no way for air to get under it. Paint the rivet heads the same as the car color and they're not as noticeable.

Nice wheel stand. Any underside damage?

I'm actually scared to see what my car will do with the new 4 link suspension and 32 x 14 slicks. I don't race until Father's day and I'm already considering getting some wheelie bars.

 

wow still some good times man! very fast car....

but what did that vette have done to it?? jeez that thing was fast too but looked so stock!!

 

stephen the only thing that happened was the front right plastic wheelwell cover broke, which we just pulled out. bent the shifter linkage alittle but that was an easy fix. and believe me this window will be much more secure this time!!!


orr89rocz i'll find out whats done to it. friends on another board know all about the car, it hauled azz thouh

 

That was kick ****! Glad nothing serious happened.

 

this is what i heard about that vette

2007 Artic White Corvette Z06
Kook's 1 7/8-2 inch C6 Z06 stepped headers with 3 inch hvmc and off-road X-Pipe, Haltech F1 filter, NGK TR55,160 termo,electric water pump,patriot gold springs, cold air intake,c5 axles,ttp thrasher cam,ttp polished ls7 heads

now it has a 2 stage nx kit on it.....he said it was a 150 shot and it looked to be a wet kit

 

Damn sorry to hear about the bad night. Atleast is wasn't worse.

 

When I saw the thread title, my first thought was, "Oh, no, not the Shafiroff!" Glad to hear it wasn't that.

You guys are a whole bunch faster than I am, but I never would have imagined a simple limiter change would put you up on the back bumper like that. Although, there was this '89 Vette last year. . .

Any possibility your window problem was caused by the hard landing?

Speaking of Vettes, that's a whole bunch of work to have been done already on a 2007 model. Some people must have a money tree in their back yard. I sure don't!

 

actually one of the hatches on the top of the window gave(either broke or rotted) away and the corner lifted and that was that. the landing may have contributed but who knows. i've already ordered all new parts window,fiberglass deck and a new wing.
nothing will keep me down!!!!!!!

 

Sorry to see you had damage but I guess it could have been worse. Looking forward to seeing you in the 8s.

 

thanks all! nothing that a little time and about 800 bucks to fix. i will definately be fasteners around the window this time. they were stock hinges i was using. for some reason the pin came out on the pass side and caught the air. i took pics and driver side has the pin in it passenger has hole right thru it. and the pin was in 2 pieces. don't know if that was the design on not but anyway oh well thats racing.

 

I was wondering how much travel you had in the limiters on that bumper pass . i have 3" travel set in mine right now, and want to take a bunch out before i start to hit the new motor with the bottle now.
