I was at the track drag racing a few time ago.
This kid there has a Civic no hood and an GIGANTIC turbo buldging out the front of the car. Its caged with slicks.
Its run what ya brung night and we end up lined up. I run 14.0 here in Phoenix with our crappy air I am guessing this is a sub 12 car based on the slicks and cage so I'm going to try to give him a good race for at least the first 100 feet.
I wasted him off the line, couple car lengths ahead at the 1/8th mile. By the quarter mile he is nipping at my tail. I won but the amount of space he cobbled up from the 1/8th to the 1/4 is amazing! Plus he had a 110mph+ speed and a 14 second run. In the pits I start asking him about the car. He just finished putting it together. The turbo is from a TRUCK he thinks maybe a semi? I asked him what RPM he left the line at he doesn't know. I said try leaving at about 3,000 rpm so you have some boost.
He did and the result was cracked transmission case and one of the half shafts broke!
