why wait,send him my way.I love trashing on new expensive yuppie sports cars,you know that.or are you looking to beat some local iron headed brown gs that roams the streets near stage 1 auto.Bring it on, you know i love a good street battle.Or how about this,i'll loan you my streetcar for the day to go put the hurtin on that vette and you let me pilot your racecar at cecil for(maybe)its first 8 sec pass.
There's a traffic light just over an 1/4 mile down the highway that runs in front of my shop, maybe you can meet him there!
that would make some great video.Being an ameture home head porter myself If you dont mind sharing what is the trick to making big high lift flow #'s without killing low lift flow and velocity
Hey rob I thought I would share this with you i know that we were in discusion about hooking on drag radials. This is from my buddys 4000 lbs wagon the weekend after orlando. I don't know but it seems to have pretty good hook. He went a 1.27 sixty after this pass on this one it only went mid thirtys on the bck tires. I think I would have wet myself, He said it set down hard then picked it back up to the bumper in second gear.
It figures. I wait with you at the track in Orlando until 2:30 am to see the wagon do that and we were denied. You guys get home and sort it out, of course. ou:
Thats awesome Bob!! But can he hook it on all tracks? And in poor conditions, like hot humid days? I know he cant!! Neither can I!! Its nice to have a car like Doug's that can thou!!! He hooks on spit!!!:blast:
You're comparing apples and oranges. Steve's wagon isn't a bracket car, and Doug's car would go quicker on a good track with smaller tires. Do you want fast or consistent? You can't have both all the time. I just thought I'd stick my head in here. Have fun. COOL Pic Bobb!!!!!!
It's funny you mention that Jeff. I was asking when we were in Orlando if I ran those 10.5W tires that most of those Outlaw cars run, would I run faster? I figured I would, since they have less resistance going down the track, but obviously have the ability to get a good hook, and on much faster cars than mine!
Is there a link to more pics of that Wagon making passes ?? the guys over on the RoadMonster Wagon forum would dirty their diapers if I show them those :beers2:
It's a really cool car. It was great seeing it in person in Orlando. I never got to see it run, though. The weatherman shut us down.
Thanks for posting pics Jeff. Theres a video of it a few pages back on this thread also from summer when it still wieghed in at 4440lbs. It was great hanging with all the buick loyal down there we had a great time talking and hanging during the rain. All of us that were with Steve have procharged cars Jarred has a 3800 lbs camaro with a 585 with an F-2 on it that went 7.86 @ 177. I have the slowest junk in the bunch but this winter I intend to close the gap. We will definitly try to get back down to Orlando next year and run the Buick and try to do us all proud.
Since we are in the drag radial subject again..... http://videos.streetfire.net/video/91999aad-12d7-46e7-bcb6-99f8017aa147.htm
