Well theres your answer to why your faster now, all the weight and drag lost from your face must count for something

 

Look at the size of that trophy.i won best in class at york raceway with a 10.75 and the trophy i got was about 2inch tall.it was so small i could fit it in my pocket.think i need to change my drag strip :-)

 

very good time of 10.75, must be the quickest newage with that time more importantly though, not just a one hit wonder, good luck with it

 

Lol, this ones about 12" high and i can assure you it is of the highest quality

 

12" Arf, thats bigger than you

as you say getting those 60ft times to 1.7 - 1.8 or faster will see you into the 10s. have you thought about suspension changes and changing to stickier tyres? do you have full throttle shifts? launch control? how far into 5th are you crossing the line? if you raised the rev limit slightly could get over the line revved out in 4th (i doubt it very much with 500 odd hp). have you tried launching in 2nd gear? i less shift id about 0.25 seconds?

do you think i take my quest for a 10 second run too seriously?

 

The trouble yesterday was due to the world war 2 airfield surface, I have no doubt that Rics car will run consistent 1.6 - 1.7 60ft times on a prepped drag strip and that this will bring his times down even further.
He is still running virtually full trim too, so with a bit of clever weight reduction a 10 would follow fairly easily.

BF goodrich drag radials and a splash of meth . light the 4 tyres up, sideways off the line and your good to go. i snapped a rear driveshaft doing that. it was only a 5 speed at the time though. 11.2 @ 135 so far. got the power. just need a decent driver now

 

Lol, mine ran a 10.8 on a stock version 6 5 speed box on R888's running 530bhp on 20% meth. Never broken a shaft but did tear the teeth off of 4th on the dyno one day.
Quick £200 repair and I got another season out of the same box.

Great effort to all involved hope to get those sort of figures out of mine when it's done

 

@bigsinky we were going sideways off the line on R888's, it was that slippery, 2nd and 3rd gear didn't help a lot either !

 

get it to a RWYB day at Santapod. good sticky track with R888s or drag radials should see those 60ft time tumble.

 

roll on the summer !

 

thanks,hoping to put some better times in next year
grrrrrrrrrrr
