Went out for usual slip and slide Wed night at LACR in Palmdale CA Elevation 2710 ft. Previous best was on 11/27 with 11.867 at 118.690. with a Vishnu tuned AMS 3076 on 03 Evo with stock tires. First run I sat at light and tried a quick slip at 7200rpm. Car shot foward but I could feel and hear front tires hopping. I caught 2nd late and speed shifted to 3rd. Shifted to 4th and right before finish line, I heard a weird nosie and let off. Turned into return road and felt horrible binding and heard loud clunk. From what I have read , knew right away the front diff was broken. Will not know what else until car is apart. Only very small upside was I beat my friend's best time in his 03 Cobra at LACR by .01
My run on 12/07/05- sorry no scanner

60ft = 1.559
330'= 4.841
1/8 = 7.541
1/8mph = 91.086
1/4 ET = 11.772
1/4mph = 116.253

Figure if I had not broken and let off I would have gone 119-120mph. Off couse if
I was smart I would have let off as soon as I felt the wheel hop.
Costly mistake May have to upgrade to Quaife.

 

Wow, great time, but sorry to hear what happened. I learned years ago on my Talon to abort any run at the first sign of bad wheelhop. I hope to see you run up at LACR in the future. Good luck.

 

uhhhhh how u hit 1.5??????

 

Nice 60ft!

 

Thanks !

Yeah, live and learn .

 

1.55! Very nice man. We are upgrading the stock front diff in the race car to a quiafe. I can't believe we havent broken it yet.

 

ya, how did u pull a 1.5 60', with a not very exciting launch? not doubting u, just find it weird.

 

How is slipping the cltuch at 7200rpm not an exciting launch? I personally wouldn't launch that high, but then again I'm not that exciting.

 

post your slip from LACR. i'm only like 30 minutes from it, my friend and i used to go there all the time. what clutch are on ? and what kind of computer do you have on your car? piggy back or standalone. why in the word would you launch it at 7200rpm? gotta see the slip.

 

Nice 60'!!

 

Thanks. I really never had wheel hop before. that's what killed it.

Basic Vishnu +1 with AMS 3076 kit on top of that. Vishnu uses the Xede piggyback computer- two switchable maps. On 2nd twin disc -Exedy.
Launched at 7200 in an effort to go faster.

"Nice 60'!! "

Thanks

 

That 60FT is sick, congrats!!!! Sucks it was at the expense of the diff. My best 60ft on similar setup was on a high 1.6x. Oh and ignore the "need to see the slip guy" that time is great at altitude (speaking from experience, 6000 up here) and I launch at about 6500 with a two step building 15 psi on the line.

 

da*n that sucks man, killer 60 times, guess it is time to upgrade
ask santa for a new diff.

 

I stopped on the return road as I personally saw MasterBlaster hit that run.

The timing lights on the Far Lane [ Napa Lane AKA Left Lane ] stopped showing R/T, ET, MPH and Wins every since they had the last Street Racers Night @ LACR. John the announcer could be heard loud and clearly, when he announced that he ran an 11.77 @ 116mph.

Here is the slip....sorry, my digi cam sucks when I'm using artificial light.
