Went to the local dragstrip last night just to watch. Got talked into making a few shake down passes on my street tires. None of the runs were good. Missing gears, tire pressure adjustments, and bad launches since it was the first time taking her out since the new build. The second run I had would of been my best since I had a decent launch and didn't miss any gears, but I had a little excitement.

Realized how much I never want to see foxbody headlights coming at my drivers door again. I waited at the tree until I was ready to launch. My buddy was in his fox, and as I caught him down track he lost control. He managed to save the car without hitting mine or doing too much damage once he hit the guard rail. I got out of it then got back on the gas to get past him before he came into my lane. All his damage was to the passenger side. Has a popped front tire, dent on the rear quarter, fender, and front bumper.

He walked away fine also so it was all well that ends well. Kind of have a itch to go back to the track, but also not eager to damage my car. But it could happen anywhere I guess. Here is the vid.

Not sure what happened on the run. He was almost to the end of the 1/4 so who knows.

After the run I pulled over and made sure he was good. His car really isn't too bad off, and he wasn't in any pain. His body was in shock for sure, so I am sure he is feeling it a bit today.

looked like he hit his brakes then let off and lost traction somehow? watch close at 1:01

fox had what we believe to be a head gasket blow. putting coolant on the ground/tires. my buddy did a heck of a job not hitting terrance, and just couldn't escape the wall.

the car has front end damage(broken ball joint, tire/wheel, fender, bumper, possible other)... and the rear axle isn't sitting right. time will tell.

I know bro. Me and Daley might be out next week on some drag radials though. You going to roll back out?

118 is still dam fast...alotta cars would be lucky to hit that on their best runs.

Poor guy hit the wall in a 13 second car just shows you right there it ain't all about power.hittin Brakes aren't the best idea when you get sideways you just lift and counter steer let the car come back brakes go from one extreme to another

I'm not worried about being unable to trap that speed. All about traction

On a side note....

That must be gods car if your buddy is trapping 126. That's a low 11/high 10 second car. There are VERY FEW cobras running that fast in the country on the stock eaton with an upper only, no nitrous, and no port job. Around 7 or 8 to be exact. None on a mail order tune. not calling BS, but id like to see that time slip....

Yeah. Common knowledge says not to, but a few guys who race regularly recommended to get them a little wet and burn it off. Managed to cut a 1.9 60ft. My buddy was cutting 1.7's on his DR's so it wasn't bad at all.

Oh well it's true but I'm a firm believer in not giving a crap about the trap speed that doesn't determine how fast a car should run in a quarter that's why there's an e.t. And a mph people just always wanna associate them. My buddy's 6 second top sportsman car can run half track shut down and run a 9 at 100 mph. My dads stock zo6 ran 11.80 a 128 so do you think his car should run high nines? Gears tire sizes ect play that part

That looked a little like the notch that lost control on the freeway a while back. That's not the same car is it?

Happy you guys didn't hit & your friend is ok. [patriot]

To add to it tho my dads z isn't the only one I've seen stock trap that speed either. But I will tell you this a few years back when my buddy ran his car at sears point and ran that we knew three other guys with the same mods and not one of them could beat him in a roll race or drag race on the street we always said his car was serious for some reason don't ask me why. But I did run into one guy running high 11's a sears point a few years back with upper lower pulleys cai full exhaust and mt et streets then it blew the IRS right out of it. So it's possible stock blower and longblock. Mystichrome is the fastest color anyway right? Lol

Well you didn't say it was Mystichrome.... [Big Grin]

But seriously bro if that car is Trapping 126 that's low 11's for a terminator. You are correct that trap speed doesn't determine everything since there is a upper only terminator going 10's at 121mph through an auto and a SRA. But from all the 1/4 mile time slips I've seen from guys with these cars nobody is tapping 126 on an upper only. The eatons just aren't effecient enough in factory trim. If he goes out again I would love to see it run and get some driving tips [patriot]

I've lifted a head gasket under full throttle and pumped coolant all over the pavement. Its like hitting a patch of ice. Kyle did what he could. He was hard on the brakes trying to miss Terrance. There just wasn't any room to get off the brakes and straighten the car out.

T, it was good to see you last night. We need to set up that double sometime soon.

I will give it to Kyle, he did a hell of a job keeping hold of that car as long as he did. I can only imagine what was going through his head when the car kicked loose

And yeah Dave, we gotta get together soon.

Shit that car hasn't seen the track for about a year in all honesty it's not running the same as it used too blows a little smoke seems slower. He barely drives it anymore. He bought it brand new in 04 and had those parts on it within a year so it's seen it's fair share of beatin 2 IRS replaced and 3 trannys. He's thinking of having a compression test and all that have the motor checked out then going from there

cant wait to see it on full throttle all the way through. i guess im in the minority, but trap speed is very important for me. theres more variables that can change et where as trap speed is almost always consistant. doesnt matter whether one hooks or not, trap speed will be very similar in every run.

]There are few that are trapping that mph. Go over on svtp they have a sticky threat on pulley and ported eaton cars running 10's. I myself ran 11:5@126 at sac raceway with pulley and ported eaton,bolt on convertible cobra; full weight IRS running m/t et drag radials. So it is do able but you have to be a one bad ass driver.

Based on our runs, your car is well capable of high 10s, but should be low 11s all day without a problem. Even with street tires. Seat time is all you need, and your times will come. glad you guys and the cars are ok..get some tires dammit [Big Grin] we need to line em up both with tires.

they lied to you! never pull in to the water with street tires. let alone do a burn out in it like you did. water catches in the tread blocks, then when you sit at the lights it rolls on to the ground. the reason you are cutting 1.9 compared to your friends 1.7's is your hp level. you friend doesn't have as much as you. if he had more he would have gone faster than a 1.7 60ft [patriot]

If he goes out again I would love to see it run and get some driving tips [patriot]
+1 no way pulley only cobra will trap 126 [/QUOTE

]There are few that are trapping that mph. Go over on svtp they have a sticky threat on pulley and ported eaton cars running 10's. I myself ran 11:5@126 at sac raceway with pulley and ported eaton,bolt on convertible cobra; full weight IRS running m/t et drag radials. So it is do able but you have to be a one bad ass driver.
do you have a vid?
Yea I do Have a video of my runs,when I ran those times at sac raceway.

Yeah. Common knowledge says not to, but a few guys who race regularly recommended to get them a little wet and burn it off. Managed to cut a 1.9 60ft. My buddy was cutting 1.7's on his DR's so it wasn't bad at all.
they lied to you! never pull in to the water with street tires. let alone do a burn out in it like you did. water catches in the tread blocks, then when you sit at the lights it rolls on to the ground. the reason you are cutting 1.9 compared to your friends 1.7's is your hp level. you friend doesn't have as much as you. if he had more he would have gone faster than a 1.7 60ft [patriot]
^^^ +1 warhorse58gt know's what he's talking about. I'm on the same page as him. I never do burn outs on street tires. May be spin them a little bit to take the dirt and pebbles off. All your doing is making the tire slippery.

I know bro. Me and Daley might be out next week on some drag radials though. You going to roll back out?
Be careful Terrance. Insurance isn't gonna cover shit if it wrecks at the track.

Back when I was running at Fremont Drag Strip, you'd get a stern lecture for backing into the water with street radials. If you drove through it, you'd get kicked out.
