What do u think of this race ?

#1 Post by 434 nova » Fri Jan 21, 2011 7:57 pm

There is a guy that wants to run me. His car went 9.40 @ 143 My car goes 10.16 @ 132 His car is a sbc with 2 stages of nitrous and a 29 x 10 with racegas. I am sbc on motor, pumpgas and a 28 x 10. He said he would spot me eveything in drag racing which means 1 car the break and the clear. This is in the 1/4. I have heard that this spot is wort .5 - .7 tenths If it is true i figure i have a chance. My car has only been out once and i was footbraking the car now i will be on a transbrake, have about 34 degress of timing instead of the 30 and have my suspension worked out. my car 60 ft 1.45 and his goes 1.39 I figure i have 2-3 tenths left in the car should put me in the 9.80 range. If the spot is worth that much i should be good. What do u think ?

Is there any $$$$$ on the line in this race???? If not, give it hell and shift just before the valves float right out of the heads.

Idon't know... How good is the "track prep" :smt002

Sometimes if the " track prep" :smt002 is not good, the slower car is an advantage in it's self.

I wudnt take a spot.. But thats just me. Id add a stage to yours or tell him to cap off one of his. He must not have much motor to start with if it takes him two stages to go 40's.
