Yes the M/T Pro's are fantastic with an auto. I ran them on my Mustang (5-speed manual) one season. After switching to bias/ply Hoosier Quick Time Pros I gained 60', E.T. MPH stayed the same. They were less track dependent also. The wadding up really helped .
Have you made any passes at U.S. 60 with her?
We haven't run at U.S.60 since 07 or maybe 08 but man the people doing track prep back then could make that track flat out hook.
No offense but this, I don't understand..leave from idle?? Who does that?
Very respectable especially for a street driven machine
U.S. 60 flat hooks ! Never when to the Valley. They would toss me for no roll bar.
I hear you but this concept is still foreign to me. Like not even a little brake torque action?
That could be true. I remember U.S.60 as being almost non existent on their tech inspection stuff. But again that was about 15yrs ago.U.S. 60 flat hooks ! Never when to the Valley. They would toss me for no roll bar.
What kind of 60ft time, E.T. & mph?Yes the M/T Pro's are fantastic with an auto. I ran them on my Mustang (5-speed manual) one season. After switching to bias/ply Hoosier Quick Time Pros I gained 60', E.T. MPH stayed the same. They were less track dependent also. The wadding up really helped .
1.43 , 6.90's , ~ 100 at U.S. 60
from the track manager (he was a friend actually)
Back in 2011, IRP had a once a month heads up series that we raced in. The guys doing the track prep for that series absolutely killed it every race. We were struggling to get enough wheel speed on the launch and were wadding up the tires and driving into severe tire shake. So we went to a Wednesday night TnT. We made a couple hits and several adjustments then toward the end of the night we went up to the line and threw about all we had at the time at it. Well, dad said he knew it was on a serious run as soon as he let off the button and it didn't shake the tires. He ran down passed the 1/8th cone and didn't lift. He said it felt so good he ran it out as far as he could. According to the Racepak he let out of it just before the 1,000ft cone when it tickled the rev limiter. Anyway, he tripped the 1/4 timer with a 7.20 at like 186 mph. The track manager at the time was sitting on the wall by the starter stand. He walks right up to me and asks me what's that chassis certified to? I said 7.50 and he proceeded to tell me don't ever let it happen again or we wouldn't be allowed to run there. Loaded up and went home didn't touch a thing. When we unloaded two days later at the track, we couldn't duplicate it. Turned things down just a little bit and we were right back to fighting tire shake.I got tossed from IRP on a Wednesday street car run what you brung. Car had no roll bars. Still had the stock 1965 GM issue lap belts in it. I ran the 12.0-foot brake class or slow bracket, so I did not have to put bars in it.
Made a couple of 12.10 passes and uncorked, timing, air breather and stood on it.
11.85. That got me a stern look and a
Then I engaged the power adder and put an 11:30 on it. That got me pointed towards the gate. Everyone was laughing but that was just too fast to overlook. I was gunning for an 11:10 and probably would have got there with a bigger launch chip.
Not bad for a street car. 4250 with me in the seat.
They have to cover their butts.
Oh I get it... liability and all that
