Vid of my Evo making its best pass yet.....

TRIXTSI · 09-23-2008, 03:48 PM

Finally got the 60 ft were it should be...... best of 1.53 on this run:

Had some old plugs in there and since i saw the red light in the first round i stayed in it as the 60ft felt decent........all through 3rd was good but it broke up a bit in 4th and killed the et/mph

Still went the best pass though so far

Got a STRICT warning to not come back again for that one!

Very nice! That car looks like a lot of fun to drive!
Is it hard to break the tires loose when doing a burnout? Have you noticed if it helps traction? I'm asking because I wouldn't mind getting my 60' time down a little more.

Thanks Dave!

Not hard to spin'em once you get the entire rolling diam of the tire wet.

Not sure if it helps but would tend to think that any heat i can put in the QTP's would be beneficial.

As you can see the burnout on the first vid was much better and netted the best 60ft.

However the track prep that day was EXCELLENT

Matter of fact i was soo pissed about waiting soo long just to make my first pass that i was going to ask for a refund but one of the track officials said that "if you stick around i gaurantee you your best pass ever"........he was right

Thanks for the tip. A little extra heat in the tires can only help since the weather is cooling off, which is nice for making power. I'll have to give Sacramento a try this Fall and see what kind of times I can run.
