I remember that fireball bottle - from VMP earlier this year

I didn't take any pics of the blow up doll hanging out the rear passenger window going down Woodward

 

[Speedy!]

I think you can see in the video it's a black Jeep.

Was it a silver jeep, he did big burnouts and was loud?

Didn't see the video.

 

[Speedy!]

You should watch them they did a pretty good job getting all the angles.

Brian beat the guy that beat me. Eskle (sp?) was the guy I raced.

 

[DavidKFla]

This is the guy I'm talking about.

 

[Speedy!]

I'm not sure he was there.

 

[Speedy!]

Here's the racing. I think we're a bit limited on RT in these cars due to all the electronics, throttle by wire, etc. Best I could do was a .238 and that was with some trickery at the light. I need to look in to this.

@Speedy! Why are you not wearing a race Jacket? Not Good!

[Speedy!]

I know....it was HOT in the car. If it had been Beech Bend I'd have been in shorts

Don’t worry speedy I see the part at the end I’m here to represent this forum 😂
Looked like your car was leaving pretty good. For the weather do you think your 60ft was better with the lock outs?

 

[Speedy!]

I think 60' was improved and more consistent. 3 out of 5 passes were 1.48.

i thought I remember you saying before you were higher than a 1.5x

 

[Speedy!]

1.5 has been average

Woodward stuff

Being in Pontiac you were at the quiet end where you can drive. Hopefully you drove down it, 13 mile is pretty busy

For me on the lights it is just doing them more. I find the more I do them the better I get. Problem is unless you are not at a race with these lights it is hard to practice.

I have only done a .400 pro tree, a .500 would be easier

 

[Speedy!]

We did drive a good section of it. We drove down in to somewhere? (turned right leaving the Dodge display) until it started feeling like I needed to pull my toy outta the back pack and wave it around to keep from getting car jacked. We turned around at that point and it was bumper to bumper.

What I also found interesting is that in a 5 mile stretch or so of Woodward you go from a pretty nice part of town with people in Polo shirts and leather shoes with no socks to what I'll call a less nice part of town.

On the lights, I've had more than one person tell me that it's hard to get better than a .2xx or .3xx on a pro tree in these cars with stock electronics. The throttle movement, throttle by wire, etc all eat up time to the car moving. The Jeep I raced had a two step or trans brake, not sure which. You can hear it in the video though.

Sometimes you get lucky.
