cool man...but invest in a better digital camera...i swear those pics were takin in 1989

I actually took those pictures with a throw away 35 mm camera and scanned them in really quick....forgot my digital camera at home and the track is about 50 miles away so i stopped by a grocery store.

Bracket racing is all about who's the best driver (which I think is the best way to race and most fair) Great job man!

I wish there were tracks closer to me where I could kick some ass.

1st place for a 16.943? Only in America

But anyways bracket racing is hella fun, good job.

I ran a 16.943 @ 82 mph yesterday at Firebird Raceway here in Boise Idaho!!!

When ever you come down here we will have to race. The day I got my car back on the road with the FI. i took it to the drags and ran a 16.95 @ 81mph. that was after I gave my buddy Justin (Red97LXcort) a two car length head start off the light and then walked him down the track. :flipa:

How often have you been going to the track? Did you get the slips for you other runs?


Im going to have to make it to the track soon. Just to play around an d practice.


But hey at least you got a trophy thats almost as big as you.

[BITESIZE]

That was my 3rd time going, i'm going back the 21st since I'm still ahead in bracket points...maybe i'll bring home a 2nd trophy.

yea I need to do some drag racing when I get my new head on. I ran a few times before with the steelies at 24PSI and I was putting down 2.3's with lots of spin. I'm pretty sure I would get better times with my 17's. Bur 16's are not to bad just wait until you get into the 14's and you start pissing off the local V8's.

[BITESIZE]

I'm trying to get ahold of some stock wheels for the 21st.....then I'll be running mid 16's.

[Justin86]

might want to get ahold of the stock 14's and slap some fat tires on them. I use the steelies once and I was really disapointed with them, I got better grip and launches with my 17's at low PSI. Some 14's with maybe 205 tread and 20PSI should work pretty good. I have some Se-i wheels but I don't think you would want to pay shipping.

[BITESIZE]

With my 17's what should I run for P.S.I. justin at the track?

[Justin86]

need to experiment with it. I never have had a chance to see what PSI works better with the 17's. So start at 26 PSI and slowly go down until you find what works best. Whats nice with the 17's is they have wider tread then the steelies and they are stiffer so you have more stability while accelerating.
Just look what happens when you blow a tire. If you blow a low pro tire at 80mph it won't really phase you. If you blow a tire with a big soft side wall at 80mph it will put you in the ditch allmost.
