View Full Version : 2007 Season

I didn't think it was possible, but the street scene in Point this year was even better than last year. Lot of street action and a great variety of cars. Cars from different cities all around the central WI area. Variety is where it's for drag racing. You can only race the same cars so many times. When someone new comes to town things get very interesting.

I thought the highlight of the season was when Badass came down to Point. That was a really good night. Furo sold lots of nitrous that weekend.

Furofest was fun as hell too. Haven't seen that many burnouts by sweet ass cars in a long time.

I didn't make it to any RSD events this year as I was too busy doing other types of racing, but hopefully next year I can make it to a couple of those.

Looking forward to 2008.

Yeah I remeber you. We were supposed to set a race up, but I snapped my driveshaft. We will have to get a race setup for this year at one of the RSD's. Thanks for offer to stay at your place, I might take you up on that if I happen to cruise over and check out your street scene.

Just wondering if you guys have any streets around there that you actually prep. for racing? I always wanted to find a good road and lay down some rubber and vht for some wheels up racing on the street. Either way I'll have to set up my suspension properly to stay with you AWD guys out of the hole.

Yeah, it was. At least where I went was. Anything with some torque that doesnt have AWD will have troubles.

I watched a wagon and an S10 both spin, and they were on slicks.

You cant blame your traction issue on only the road. There are lots a person can do to improve traction besides spray down some VHT. Have the S10 or wagon been corner-balanced? All those little changes could make a big difference.

DRK
01-14-2008, 11:08 AM
corner weighting a drag car isn't as necessary as a rr car. Most important thing in a drag car is weight transfer. On the track you pretty much want as much as possible until you get into the really quick stuff. On the street all that weight transfer just shocks the tires. These guys might want to try tightening everything up and coming out softer/ slipping the clutch more.

I think you are overlooking something. yeah you have front to rear weight transfer, but there is also weight transfer due to torque twist.

I will come to an RSD if a few of you will come to an auto-X at USA Internation Raceway in Shawano.

Yes a RWD car with slicks will have a HUGE advantage at the drag strip. Its like putting glue on a football receiver’s hands.

DRK
01-14-2008, 11:15 AM
Most drag cars are set up with a anti roll device/ airbag etc. so the don't have bodyroll from torque twist. I don't ever make it that far north, thats damn near Canada!

Anti-Roll/Sway Bar does help some, but not all. In fact I know LOTS of drag racers who get rid of their sway bars for weight reduction.

The car is still under major construction, but his plan is to have it ready for this year. And in my personal opinion, it would be a very close race. I think I remember him saying it might challenge the mark for the highest recorded hp dsm. But that doesn't really mean anything until its finished and at the track.

yeah, i see lots of cars make 1000+ hp but end up running 11's in the 1320.

Luke at beyond redline is skilled, and probably could do it, but its gonna take lots of work and i dont think he'll go under a 9.0 his first year. I HIGHLY doughy he'll be the quickest DSM in the country. He'd have to beat a 7.47 i beleave.

He isn't trying to be the quickest in the country. That record I think is nearly an impossible goal. But I do know that Luke's car should move out pretty good, and I think it will be a good race for the car that I posted the link to. Either way, both Luke's car and the one I posted the link for are going to be making a lot of V8 guys like myself look pathetic.

Luke is still the fastest DSM i've seen at WIR. I saw him run a 10.8 If i remember correctly(like 3 years ago) and I think his best is around a 10.6. actually, I take that back when as I think about this. Tim Zimmer ran a high 9 this season! I dont think it was at WIR though.

Hmm. Thats interesting, seeing how you could feel the slipperyness on the road with your foot. I guess it must be my car, that adjustable suspension and airbags in each side do me no good.

I find it odd though, on nice, concrete surfaces the car hooks and goes.

That road we were on was the shittiest surface Ive ever raced on, period. I'm sure thats why we were there to begin with, knowing the AWD crowd had the advantage over the RWD. I also noticed NOBODY took me up on my repeated offers to meet me at the track. I came down and played their game, and did pretty damn good considering I never opened a bottle, but no one would accept my invitation. There is always a stipulation. "I'll come to the dragstrip if you come to the auto-x". That makes zero sense to challenge a car like mine to an auto-x. That would be like challenging the AWD cars to hook bumpers with my truck.


P.S.....I do believe you are confusing sway bars and anti-roll bars. 2 completely different animals.

haha, thats not what i was saying? you want me to drag race but my car is setup for the twisties. Hence why I keep my turbo small enough to reduce turbo lag. You want a guy that auto-x's to come play on the straigh-line racer's playground, but you wont come play on the auto-xer's playground.

I'm not the one saying "I'll play your game if you play mine." I mustve missed it, where did I call you out? I may have said if you wanted to we could run, but I dont think Ive ever called you out. The only challenge I ever set out was for some of the AWD guys, mainly Maccahia (sp) to meet me at the track. I dont recall ever bringing you into it, because honestly at the dragstrip it wouldnt be very close between us. I'm not really into picking on cars that arent at the same level on the track.

Like a lot of us said, WHY RSD?

How about someplace where we can get more than a few runs in?

Where do you think we'd get more runs in than at an RSD? When I go to RSD, I run as much as I want.

GLD is an NHRA track. 3 1/2 hour drive is an awful long way to "hope" I can get in.

There are just as many guys that get gone over with a fine tooth comb as there are guys that breeze through it. When they were IHRA, the guy even questioned my valvestems. There is no consistency with the tech, and Ive heard theyre trying to "buckle down" on it. Its too far to drive and then turn around if they dont let me in.

Whats really weird is, last time I raced RSD@WIR I got 9 timeslips, and I spent a ton of time walking around bullshitting.

Some day I'd like to build a drag DSM. Then maybe I'll hit up an RSD. I know my car is not that fast in a straight line, I know you'd beat me at the track where you hook, why waste my time/money to race you. only place i have a chance is the street where i can use my AWD advantage.

What does that have to do with it?

Watch some street racing videos. REAL street racing. Get a copy of the Scandalous DVD. Watch how they prep the road. They arent racing 12-13 second cars on the street.

This is definately STREET dominators. Its just that most of us make way too much power and torque to hook up on some greasy ass country road. I didnt know gobs of power and torque was a bad thing until now, I guess if the 12 and 13 second cars that race out there want to be considered King of the Street, they can call themselves that. Those are the only cars that the road will work for.

Actually Karkraft did go to an RSD (in 2007) with an arranged race with you Badass and you didn't show.

We didn't pick our match-up spot because it is slippery. Actually it is newer pavement that is smooth and so far (knock on wood) it has been an excellent location for us traffic wise.

Go ahead and prep the road. No one will stop you, but you will have to listen to SpyderGSX piss and moan. Ha ha.

In 2001, the reintroduction of the Z06, it was rated at 385 hp. It had an LS1 engine. In 2002, the hp was bumped to 405 due to the LS6 engine (which is an LS1 with different heads, intake and cam, I'm pretty sure).
