Whats up everybody! I've been reading this forum for a while now but never had a reason to post anything. I bought my EVO (for $30,000 out the door, roof and cf wing) in the end of July down in TN and drove it back home. Well, my reason for posting is that I went to the drag strip today and represented for the EVO community with some NICE times so I thought I'd share. By the way my car is bone stock!!! I don't have a scanner but I took a few pics of the timeslips, but I think they're too big to upload and I don't know exactly how to resize them and I don't feel like tryin. See you on the streets.

My best 2 runs:
13.185@102.29
1.522 60ft

13.171@100.25
1.346 60ft

P.S. It isn't made for the strip, but it's still fun!

 

are you sure those are your 60 ft times. you might want to double check.

 

Positive. I have the time slips to prove it. When I first saw it I was like WTF.

 

Cool weather runs.......nice numbers and excellent driving!

Thanks for carrying the flag for the Evo crowd, bet the comp probably thought you were modded!

N10S

 

No offense, but we need to see the slips. That track's calibration is FRIED. 13.1@100 with a 1.3 second 60'? Are you spraying a 200 shot out of the hole, then pulling the plug on it before you upshift to second?

Seriously dude, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a stock Evo to pull a 1.3 60'. Sorry to bust your bubble, but you need to try another track, because that one is messed up severely.

 

i would like to see the timeslip please.. or just type down the rest of the slip and not just the 60ft and 1/4...

thank you.. please drive through

 

Bone stock, no juice. If you want to see the time slips just tell me where to send them, however, as I said before, I don't have a scanner so I had to take a pic of them.

For some reason this slip and some others didn't list the 1\8 mile time or trap:
reaction: 1.114 (concentrating on the launch!)
60ft: 1.346
330ft: 5.106
1000' ET: 10.875
1\4 ET: 13.171
1\4 MPH: 100.25

this one has the 1\8 mile times:
reaction: .724 (again, concentrating on the launch!)
60ft: 1.522
330ft: 5.216
1\8 ET: 8.289
1\8 MPH: 78.00
1000' ET: 10.913
1\4 ET: 13.185
1\4 MPH: 102.29

I'm going back in a few minutes to bring it into the 12's with some 110 octane and less fuel (yesterday I was running with 3\4 tank)

Also, unfortunately it was not cool out yesterday (75-80) and it's about the same temp. today, so I know on a nice cool day I can definately run better times. Which absolutely amazes me.

As for the tracks timing system(TSI SYSTEM 2000 Plus), I don't think anything was wrong with it, but I guess anything is possible. I was running consistant 1.5 60ft times and everybody else there that I spoke to had what they thought to be accurate #'s.

 

I just got off the phone with the owner of the track. I called to see if their equipment was running properly and accurately and he assured me that everything was on point.

I'm off to the track... Wish me luck on getting my bone stock EVO in the 12's. Peace.

 

Do "reply to post" and attach your time slip pics. The forums can handle it!!! Its the only way post times!!!

 

what track are you going to??

 

Are you leaving at the 30 foot line? Seriously man, take it from us who've drag raced for years.. It is physically impossible for a stock Evo to pull a 1.3 60'. I know you want to believe it, but it defies physics. All the Evos in the 11s (Al's car, Pruven, AMS, etc) are pulling 1.70s and 1.6x 60 foots.

Heck, screw those guys, YOU'RE OUT 60 footing SEAN GLAZAR's 8 SECOND quarter mile DSM!!

Dude, if you don't understand by now that this time is BS and keep trying to tout it as truth, then I feel really sorry for you. Its ridiculously impossible. John Force couldn't pull that kind of a 60' in your car unless he was fired out of a cannon.

 

I'm sorry but there is no way in hell you pulled a 1.3 short time. The timing equipment is definitely faulty if it's giving readings like that. If you still believe that time is correct do you by chance ride the short bus to school?

 

Talked to some friends.. Maybe he's lining up with the back tires? Usually the track official would say something, but it would explain the insane 60's, the overly low ETs, and the lackluster traps. I don't know what he's doing, but something is WRONG.

 

If all of the times were off by .5 that would make perfect sence of it all, and would match the speed that he has. if you add .5 to the 60ft and 1/4 mile that would give him an awesome 1.8 60ft and a 13.6@100. That sounds more like it with that trap speed!!

 

True, and the 1/8th mph is low (78) to pull a very low 13 second 1/4 mile. I had 82 mph in the 1/8th when I ran a low 13. Unfortunately, it looks to be bogus. Ask some of the other fellow racers at the track for their opinion and see how they react. I drag raced for years in a 900hp 9-sec DFI Z-28 with the front wheels carrying 2 feet in the air and never pulled a 1.3 60ft. I would complain to the track manager and push for a free entrance pass.
