I think mine was a 14.2 or 14.3, but i suck at drag starts. I haven't been back to the track in years - i must sometime soon.
13s aren't far off at all. Lower pressures and grippy tyres will get you there - and practice.

What rpm were you letting it go at out of the hole? tyre pressures & practise will also get you in the 13's
And I dont mind that my thread has a bad post to view ratio, thats the internet

well i love your car dc! while id never have something similar - money is partly the fault there -but i like the airbrushing, its a bit out-there and different, same with the bonnet. all up it looks great and would love to see it in person! doubt my project page would have any views -just becuase i never made one... besides, who wants to watch me swap a stock engine with another one or whatnot lol... anyway keep up the good work and

Caught me out, I read all the project worklogs fairly frequently but rarely post. Most of the time I feel I don't really have anything particularly meaningful to add, especially given that the mods I've given my car have been minimal or delayed. I'm always keen to answer subjective questions though, like "what do you guys think about this colour" etc.
OT: I don't know much about drag racing but I know that a 14 second run is pretty respectable, especially considering a stock BA runs what, 17 or so? The power gains needed to knock a second off your time rise exponentially and you're clearly new to it, so stick with it and with practice you'll be getting 13s for sure. Just being at the track is ahead of most people. |
