Grudge race fun
 

I finally got the chance to go back to the track last Wednesday. It was the first time out since I changed from an Electric Maziere water pump back to a belt driven pump. I wasnt sure how much that would cost me in ET. And it was B@lls hot and humid...lol..The 1st hit was bad. I spun the tires bad, let out then back on it. I ran 7.07 @ 100 mph. As I let it cool down for another run i watched the other cars there. I saw a Tesla there running really good. I saw a couple 6.7-6.80 passes. @ 101 mph. As I made it back to the lanes, me in the right lane behind 2 other cars with nobody in the left ( right lane has a reputation for working better ) the Tesla pulled inot the left and waited for me. I knew he was gonna wait to run me. Sure enough he did. We lined up, he tree'd me a little but i was around him in 1st gear and pit about 2 cars on him. I went 7.58@104 he went 7.78 @ 101. After he gave me a thumbs up and waved. After a while I went for another pass and sure enough there he was again. Wanted to try it 1 more time. This time he left way early, but i still got around him before the end. My 7.58 @ 104.8 to his 7.88 @ 101. Both were rally fun races.
Next day I find out he has a Youtube channel where he post his video races " beating up" on Muscle cars both modern and classic. I'm waiting to see if he posts these.😁 He does have some neat videos.

Sounds like a great day.

What is your current combo?

Fantastic job! That last paragraph is the cherry on the sundae! :)

PONTIACPOWERTTF!!!

Are you spinning at the start seems like a lot of mph for a 7.5 pass?? And 7.8 at 101 seems like a lot of mph.

So...excuse my ignorance, but what are you driving?

Those sevens should be sixes.
I sense a typo there...

That’s what I was thinking .

Dang! And i even proof read it. Yes the 7s are all 6s except my first pass. .oops.
So the 1st race was 6.58 @ 104. Vs 6.78 @ 101
2nd was 6.58 @ 104.8 vs 6.88 @ 101

Current combo is an N/A 474 with E-heads. 340cfm ported by Butler. Victor manifold, 1050 Dominator, SR cam 268@.050 .660 lift., 3" exhaust over the rear end with Flowmaster 40 series 3 chamber mufflers. 9" rear with 3.73s. 275 MT drag radial. 1967 Firebird full interior, Car weighs 3550 with me in it.

I agree!! I saw he had a go pro on the roof. A friend told me about his Y.Tube channel and I laughed. He came looking for me I'm sure because he saw my first pass where I spun. Figured he had something for me

Was the gopro facing forward so he could get a good shot of your taillights?

Looks like he has one camera facing forward and one to the rear.

Hope that link works.

Cool video!


At least you were the majority of the 'other'.


:D

That did it! I'm going to install a "Cheetah Stance" in my car and make a road trip :D

If he wasn't a tool he would've typed "left early on Firebird and still got driven around"!

Again great jib!

Old school gasoline engines with big cams are cool, especially PONTIACS !
Electric motor cars with big heavy batteries giving them traction are lame. Might be the future, but lame. Those knobs just think they are cool.
Nice job Scott, had something for that Tesla it seems.
Chalk another one up for PONTIAC.

Nice job!!

I hate electric car. Good job gaping him!

Can give the Tesla guy some credit for at least trying to pick on someone his own size/speed.
Versus only going after 8 or 9 second cars.
Even though your original 7.07 probably mislead him to thinking you were the next kill sticker going on his battery charger.

Thanks for pulling his plug and draining his batteries :D


Fking Tesla was fast though

It is fast, and he is honest enough to post his losing videos too. 👍
