Drag Racing at Speedworld 6-28

DA when I left home was 3900 feet so I would have been happy with anything faster then a 14.5.

I beat a 2001 Honda S2000S2000 G35.552 .125 RT2.285 2.102 60'14.606 14.263 1/4 mile ET95.076 97.342 1/4 mile MPH

I beat a 80's Mustang GT 14.520 at 96.940 vs 15.553 at 88.776 mph

I lost to a 2008 Mustang GT 5 spd, 14.481 at 96.217 mph vs 13.639 at 103.732 MPH.

The Mustang had a 8.875 1/8th at 81.250 MPH. I looked under the hood of the mustang for nitrous line but couldn't find any??? It had a injen intake kit and was claimed to be otherwise stock? I have been beating up on the current bodied GT's for a while now I don't buy "stock" when it is almost 1 second faster then the last GT I raced!

Someone entered a supercharged 03 track edition G35 Coupe!

The saddest race of the night was a Honda Civic hatch vs a Z06 Corvette. the vette ran a low 12 the Civic ran a high 11.



The coolest car was a1968 cherry red camaro that was running hihg 8's with a supercharger!



checking the plugs between runs

This guy had a very nice 90's Stang with a small nitrous kit. It ran 10's on the bottle and was street legal!



It was pulling the front tires slightly off the ground at lauch I got a shot of that but you will probably have to view large size to see it

'68 Camaro In black with the white stripes, it would be one of my cars in my future collection.

i thought the newer g sedans ran high 13's stock already..

so low to mid 14's is more accurate?

97 degrees, 20% humidity, 41 degree dew point, 29.84 inches bp and 1200 feet above sea level.

high 13's are normal for 07+ g35 sedans at sea level in reasonable weather

Nice thread man. Probably the most interesting I've seen so far. I don't know about them girls "trying" to dance. lol But nice cars, nice races, and that honda beating a vette is ridiculous, any idea what he had under the hood?

[gwoods]

judging by the huge intercooler and detonation during its burnout... huge turbo and a bullet proof vtec.

There was another Honda there that had basically the same set up BUT everytime he would finish his burnout the overflow tank for the radiator would overflow all over the track.

This charger was pretty cool





This car ran 9.8's at 136 mph all night long! A white Supra with 32psi of boost raced it and the Charger ran a 9.78 to the Supra's 9.75 but the Charger had a better RT and crossed the line 1st. About 15 min later the Supra rolls back from the pits asking for a rematch. The Supra ran a 8.6 at 166 mph on the next race the Charger ran a 9.75 again. The rumor in the staging lanes was the Supra closed its BOV and ran 50 psi boost for that trip down the track I didn't get any vid of the supra but I'm hoping after9events.com posts some pic and vid soon

[G_whizz]

Damn Jeff!! Your vids are always awesome! That Camaro is a dream car for me!!

Hmm... we may have to create a new sticky thread for vids (NO STREET RACING)

If it's a go, get these in there!!!

Thanks for posting them!

[gwoods]

Thanks man,

I shoot them with an Olympus C5060 5 mega pixel camera

I called AZFerrell when I was almost to the track but he couldn't make it ou. NEXT TIME!
