Kicked some Viper Butt at Lonestar
 

Well sort of, it was a dodge truck with a V10 viper motor, but I soundly thrashed him.

I went out to Lonestar Sat afternoon with my girlfriend who is here from Peru to show her what drag racing is. It was a pretty cool afternoon, so I made a few T &T runs. I was shocked at the times really

first 60' - 1.7376 (like .14 better than best ever)
1/8 - 8.104 , way better than best ever, like .4
1/4 - 12.7828, killed my previous best of 12.998
mph - 104.75
This was the race withe viper truck, he ran a 13.3 but with 106 mph, finally got it moving

second - 60' - 1.7731
1/8 - 8.187
1/4 - 12.8874
mph - 104.34
I ran the same first 1/8 almost, but the second 1/8 sucked, felt like I shifted to soon, and the car ran out of power at the top end.

Anyway, Im firmly in the 12s now. The temperature must have made the difference, I was a very surprised at how big of a differnce, pleasanlty so of course.

Lets RAce dudes!!

It's all about those 60' times! Your car must leave the line hard. You definitely have the fastest stock longblock L98 I've ever seen.

Not bad, i was hoping to test my junk out there but it started nocking, i guess its a pretty decent track huh??? I herd they are allot more forgiving as to the rules compaired Houston Raceway Park, Congrats on the:idiot: KILL:idiot: , bet that guy never saw it coming hahaha, let us know when you will make another trip out there.

damn thats moving!! great job, and nice 60's

what converter do you have?

Its a Continental brand, 2800 rpm stall. I got it when I got the TH350. It is supposed to be a decent brand. The car is set up just about perfect now for the 1/4 mile. With the 3.73 gears and this tranny and motor addons, Im just reaching 5500 rpm at the finish.

Great job Larry :thumbsup:

awesome, that combo is definately working well

That car continues to impress me! Great job Larry!

Yeah, I have always liked the setup on your car Larry. Nothing to flashy just a nice, simple, well put together combo that puts up consistantly good numbers.
