Stop being lazy Steve. Get your tires and make a couple of passes tonight. You know you want to. I'm gonna be out there tonight freezing with everybody else and wanted to see your new combo run.

 

Actually the Falcon Azena is a street tire and does come in your size. As much as you like to drag race I cannot believe you have not invested in an extra set of wheels and tires for the track.

 

i may in the future

 

I hope you do it soon. It would be nice to know just what true potential your car really has. You might even surprise yourself. However the massive wheel spin is fun to watch in the meantime.

 

im wearing 275/50/15 mickey et radials right now...looks funny but were gonna try it...bring my other wheel tires just incase

 

You will have to let me know what you run with good rubber.

 

i think im going to rebuild my carb tongiht instead, you going on sunday?

 

Well, just got back from the track. Tires were grabbing hard, bogging me down right after the front end would lift up, but still managed a 1.83 60ft time. My buddies were telling me the front left tire was coming off the ground before it bogged down.

I ran an 8.1@86mph this time out on my first pass, the other 2 runs were 8.2s. Btw, that first pass I made I lined up with a c6 vette, wow, football field anyone? I could see his 2 little headlights back there as he ran an 8.9 to my 8.1.

I'm going to take care of my cooling system this week in the form of a radiator, waterpump, new 180 thermostat and an electric fan. Temp guage was bouncing all over the place anywhere from 160 to 230 on the way home, but I felt the radiator hose running from the thermostat to the radiator was maybe 120-130 degrees, I could easily hold my hand on there without it getting hot when the temp guage read 220.

Good run Brett, I was getting a little bit on you at the top of track, but not much. Don't let the roar of the 302 scare you into red lighting next time though.

Anyway, I'm going to step up to a 4.10 gear from my 3.73s and put a small shot on it (50 or so) within the next month or 2. So watch out for me to be pulling the wheels running 7.5>

 

im back too new PB here 8.621 at 80 and another 8.6 at 81.30 also got my first 1.9 60

 

Hey good night at the track guys and Congrats to typeR on that 8.6 tonight. Most impressive for a fwd luxury car on street tires. That thing has come along way since I first met you. Vince did give me my best run of the night with almost a photo finish. C'mon you know you were a little worried about the little 240 cause we both red lighted. However whatever you have done to the car is working cause I sure didn't expect that. 8.219 to a 8.23 is one close race. Traction looked to be a bit of a problem for most people it looked like. I couldn't get to a 1.7 60 ft for nothing. Even with 15lbs in the tires. I look forward to seeing you guys at track day. Should be a blast. I heard that PlanZ went 8.6 on street tires tonight also. Great job Ryan.

Brett
