1000 foot track, right lane both runs-

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/H...ter_178980.htm

raced a local guy's (Joe Edwards) M-roadster for him tonight. mods are listed in video. had a hell of a time figuring this ***** out. i was launching it at 3k on street tires and so i figured 4k-4.5k would do it on the dr's. yea, wrong, fail. figured out i had to try and slip this damn kevlar clutch at 5.5k and get some light spin, otherwise it would bog HARD.

managed to get a few 1.8's and am hoping for some low 1.8's or high 1.7's next time by dropping the tires down a little bit and bumping up to 6k.

sorry my learning curve was on the low tonight and i couldnt squeeze 9's....

How does that compare to other people's 1/4 mile times? Drew, what did you pull by the 1000' mark?
