Its crazy to me how much money people have in their racing program. Im just a regular guy enjoyin what im doin. What is really insane is how much they have in junior programs!

 

yea no kidding,we got my son in to junior racing back in the day because it was cheap i thought.lol,by the 4th year we had been through 3 cars ,the last one i had $12,ooo into,and that wasnt counting all the extra parts and spare engine .the motor alone is 5500 dollars.cheaper just to run my firebird.

 

Yea but had a fun day at the track anyway. Car went 7.55 in first tt. After dark second tt went 7.50. First round I put 7.49 on the dial. I went .520 on the tree ran dead on with a 4 lifting a few feet out. second round I went down a number on the dial and went .533 and ran a 7.51 running out the back door. I couldn catch the other car. He went .506 on the tree and ran 3 off. Oh well thats racing. The kid I beat first rd bought back and took home the big check. Car mph was 95 all day. Had fun first time runnin 1/8th mile and man it happens alot faster! You got makin decisions early.

 

Jr dragsters are faster than my own car

 

What kind of 60' times? Seems like you should be low 7's with that kind of MPH.

 

yea I kno. I built the car to run 12.0 and I didn put a cage in it. well brought it to the track and It ran some 11.4x. that's 32 degree timing shiftin at 5k. so now that I have a little more timin in it it will run under that 11.49 every pass. so now that I have a 5600 rev limiter in shift at 4750 and leave at 2k it will run mid 11.5 to 11.6 at 122mph. oh yea I only have 3.42 gear in a ten bolt. 60's are 1.78 1.79. I got one more track trip wed night then its coming apart for the cage. I bought a s&w 8 point kit. but hell I love havin the mph. im bracket racing and most of it is in the quarter so I love the 122 at 11.60. it sneaks up on a lot of cars fast.
