we've got the 70 Camaro working pretty well now. It clicked off it's quickest pass of a 9.259 ET...It has more in it as the MPH shows since it's already been 146.98 mph...but wednesday night there was a slight head wind at the top end, thus robbing 3-4 mph...
at the next weekend race, with a prepped track, and no wind, we're shooting for 9.teens.
the car has the new Toyo drag slicks...they work amazingly well on this car.
enjoy:
props to Scott for filming...we caught the quickest pass to date...on film/video...thanks to Scott.
Please forgive the camera man's filthy language at the very end of the last video...he was a bit excited. and to answer the question...the reason he ran a 9.33 on a 9.26 is because he had a .006 reaction time, caught the guy and lifted to avoid a break out. The time slip incrementals showed the car would have run about a 9.265...right on the money anyway.
and the motor revs at the end...Tommy gets a little excited and "pipes" the crowd when he wins..which I think is hilarious since there is NO CROWD!.
he's won 4 out of the last 5 events...most people race their whole life and hope to win a couple...his round record is 16 round wins, and only 1 round loss(new slicks, car was off).
and that's that.
BTW...1st video is a time run
the next 4 videos are elims...anyone notice a common occurance in the first 4 rounds of elims besides the massive wheel stands?
I'll give you a hint...
it isnt green
