Oh godd!!!! i new why i liked to stick to auto xing, my first run was........13.0@110.5 w/2.07 60ft!!!!!!!! ouch!!!! i spin so bad through 1st its rediculous, tried a 4500 rpm dropp spun then did a 3500 and bogged out...oh well i saw a lot of cars running low 12's with lower trap speed than me so at least i know my cars a mid 12 but just not with me behind the wheel!!!! it was fun anyway!!!!!!!

 

your not supposed to dump the clutch like that......

 

What xkpbreaker said! Sounds like you have plenty of power, what clutch are you running? If it is a strong aftermarket clutch go ahead and slip the clutch out at 4,500 RPM and you should get a mutch better 60' time and with a good 60' you can run that mid 12 1/4 you are wishing for

i still have the stock clutch wich has to do a lot with it......im probably getting act in the spring or summer, i just dont wanan spend money yet on something thats not broken....thanks for the info!!

 

Good MPH.

 

Yea, Im his brother, I went too. Only my 6th run down the track since Ive had my EVO. But Ouch. Tough night. Although granted it was 26 degrees when we raced. I ran a 13.30 @ 108.7MPH. That with a 2.23 60 foot!!! Couldnt hook up. My car was at about a 45 degree angle in 1st coming off the line. Running on stock clutch as well. I had my rpms at about 5500 and dropped it. Thats how i got my 12.9 last year with 50 less to the wheels. But the tires were just too cold and hard. Looked like a tough night altogether at Cecil last nite. I talked to some STI guys running 13.4 with full exhaust. Oh well, im not a pro drag guy and I go on my 1st Auto X track tomm, so im excited. Last night was frustrating but if it could warm up a little or I could turn into a pro drag racer my car is a 12.5 car easy. Not much beats me around here on the streets so Im happy. Just frustated. Were going to give it a shot next week though!!!

 

Yea, but to your guys defence, it didn't help that every hillbilly was breaking down on the track dumping oil and other fluids on the track. Your yellow Evo looked good. I was checking yours and Kevin? Im not good with names, his blue Evo.

 

If you guys dump enough money into your cars, you are bound to catch me.

 

I already plan on buying the HKS 3037S kit right after I break in the motor....

 

That's cool. My comment was actually directed toward Kev and Jason.

 

Cecil is always like that. I plan to head up there when they start opening up on Wednesday nights.

They're usually so empty that you can hot-lap if you get there early enough.

 

hey Chris!!!! lets do a 3rd gear pull on the highway, see ya!!!! i think i beat your MPH correct??? i have summer tires and it was too damn cold wouldnt hook up till late into 2nd gear.oh well won the auto x event yesterday at Maple Grove 53.74 baby!!!

 

Ernie, are you the one who had the RX-7?? I think there were some videos on EVOM if I remember correctly. Did you sell it yet and get the EVO? Man that RX7 was BAAADDDDD!!! What a nice car man!! Yea, and it did suck everyone breaking down, I just gotta leanr a diff launch and ill be mid 12's. It was fun though!! See ya man.....

 

NO sh*t 26 degrees , i bet u could not get traction !

 

nice...so the consensus with stock clutch is to slip it at 4500 rpms

then with aftermarket clutch slip it at 5500 rpms.

thanks
