Fastblacksrt was out there as well as a QC. I know Fast had a new best (around 8.3??). I personal cut another new best. [email protected]... w/ a .1.9270. I think this truck will go 12.7 stock, I just need one more day... I cut 3 - 8.3's and the rest were 8.40's excpt the one missed shift on the only 1.8 60' of the night.

Excellent time. Great to see that some of you RC guys are learning how to drive your sticks.

Very nice BigRed, How was the track prep?? Did you get alot of spin? What RPM's were you launching at??:dontknow:

 

[BigRed460]

Track was ok, launch was at 3200, I was slipping the clutch ut i found it easyier to slip the tire some so that it doesn't bog out of the hole.

Be careful with your clutch, it won't last long slipping it!! Ask Patrick!!

That's a pretty good time man, 1.8 on those huge ass tires is also good. I remember racing Stick when he was stock from a dig and I would have about a truck on him if he got a good launch, I have ran a best of 8.27 @ 85.2 on a 1.91 60ft leaving from idle.

Sorry Big Red I wasn't out there, is somebody using my name??? :dontknow:
I live about 10 minutes from HMP I haven't been there in about 4 months. The last time I went was in Oct./Nov. I can't find the slip but I think it was 8.6/8.7at ???. I'll pm you my # so when you go to HRP/especially HMP let me know.

BigRed...im supreised with your MPH on that 8.32.. i hit the same 8.32 but my MPH was 86 and my 60' was 1.9 i think...i was also powershifting.

 

[BigRed460]

Time slip. I took it with my phone, so there blurry.

When you say "power shift" does your foot lift off the pedel before the end of the track?

 

[SrtBrad]

Red were you running the gas with those times?

Power shift = don't touch the clutch pedal.

I am bone stock, down to the paper filter. I didn't even take the spare off. I just seems like when I watch other people race when they go to shift they let off the gas.

Actually you dont ever lift off the gas. You have to use the clutch, just be fast about it!

Sorry. I should have explained that better (I was in a hurry).
