kennebell cobra times...update

[randy]

drove 140 miles to Carlsbad only to find they don't sell fuel..sigh..
anyway, my best time happened after letting the car sit for a lil while(i was running out of gas). 40 minutes or so go by and i stage after doing my usual light burnout..launch from idle..spin..hop some...powership 2nd...spin...hook...shift to 3rd(not powershifting because i fricken miss most of the time)...TRY to powershift into fourth and GRIND!!! i have got to buy an adjustable clutch cable...grabs too close to floor..anyway, i get my slip at it says:
.743 rt
1.98 60
5.270 330
7.887 1/8 @ 94.94
12.080 1/4 @ 109.98
i need to learn how to drive my damn car!!!
BTW..if i coulda got my hands on some 100, i would have put the 17 or 19 lb pulley on and run an 11 in spite of myself......LOL

Congrats! I'm the Blue Z06 Corvette that ran you a couple of passes.
Unless I'm mistaken, that makes you the quickest SuperCobra at Carlsbad so far. I could be wrong. I've run against several so far.

Get some ET Streets, and a rollbar! The ET Streets absorb the wheelhop. Wheelhop will break parts.

 

[randy]

thank you....sure like your car!! i beat the other z's there...if i could only drive better!!! BTW everyone was very friendly there..EVEN you Chevy guys..LOL

 

[McRat]

go to www.76.com and use the station locator function to find a dealer that sells 100 unleaded at the pump. There is one in our town.

 

[randy]

someone told me you were telling stories about beating up on my car...i don't mind, but they said the post mentioned me running 18 lbs..which i was not..when my driving improves i hope to c you again..BTW i didn't make one clean pass all day, your 60 was .25 faster than mine, and you are a MUCH better driver..you beat the driver not the car.

Yeah, my bad! I corrected myself in that thread. Someone at the track said 20 psi Kenne Bell, and I didn't know he wasn't the driver. I only saw you with your helmet on! My apologies.

You'll be mid-11 with ET Streets without any other changes.

Consider my "kill" story as a complement. I only post Viper, SuperCobra, and Exotic kills. If I killed a Camaro, it wouldn't be newsworthy unless he had alot of work done to it.

 

[randy]

ok...thank you for correcting it, what i was telling people was i had the 19 lb pulley with me and that i couldn't use it because i didn't have any race gas. i also appreciate your advice on the tires..i bought the bfg dr's because i didn't want to buy new wheels and some guys are doing ok with them...i need to find a way to stop the wheel hop..even if i have to buy new wheels and tires, it would be cheaper than breaking at the track.

 

[mattf2's99SS]

Do FI cars correct the same as N/A cars? 14 lbs is 14 lbs no matter what the altitude.

It sounds like you've got a really fast car w/ or w/out correction. Just get a good launch and 3 good shifts.

 

[raptorman02]

Man you have so much more in that car. I am going to order my Kenne Bell next week, any recommendations? I am currently just running all the usual boltons and have a best of 11.699 @119. I hope to get into the 10's with the bell. I never have wheel hop anymore and from your post I hope the KB doesn't bring it back.

P.S. when I go to the track the Z06's are running high 12's at best, McRat you must really be able to wring that thing out.

Good racing guys

 

[randy]

I learned to do burnouts and no longer have problems with hop at the track. I do have hop on street with 315 nittos though.

 

[fryingricecobra]

Raptor,

Look where he is at. Thats why. Everyone out in Cali is running slower.
Its the elevation and heat out there.

 

[randy]

yes, our tracks suck. nearest one is LACR at 2700 feet in desert dust

unfortunately we have no good tracks anywhere near us :cryying:

NastyWS6: ...we have no good tracks anywhere near us...

True. But then again, we always have the streets of Ontario and Diamond Bar. Wait a minute...Street racing is not only illegal, it is also prohibitively dangerous as well ;-)

Randy
