here is what happens when you launch out of the groove with too much air pressure.... I have no bracket race experience as you can tell...   :smilielol:  just street racing  :scared:

My first bracket racing vids...

1.97 60 ft and 12.0 et  letting off 


1.78 60 ft  and  11.4 and hitting the chip in 2nd right about the 1/8 as you can hear it in the vid...


60 ft makes a big difference...  I have 60fted better also but that day when i went from 1.97 to a 1.78 it just stuck me in the seat... you should feel a 1.50's-1.60's   :scared:  et streets by the way...

the challenger goes 124.3 mph throught the traps.. not bad for a 3800lb car... my motor makes 670HP   :working:

the car goes high tens.....

look at the timeslip comparison.... I 60fted he same as te guy on the left but I beat him by half a second by the big end cause i make alot more power and mph"ed him... now me and the guy on the right about tied on et but my mph was way higher and he 60fted when the challenger 60fts it runs in the high tens.... This is an excellent timslip to campare cause it says it all.... hope this helps  :2thumbs:

With the right converter i think the car will 10.60's-10.70's....... its an off the shelf coan now and not enough stall..... the car is setup for street mode... now set it on kill mode  :scared: ..... now note how i am just launching off idle.... its cause the car needs a smaller converter and the car was trying to push through the beams...

Hey Tom..........great pics. I enjoyed the whole album.   You guys must have tore up that pig. Looks like a good gathering.   And Stroker.......Also great runs.    I would like to see you two up against each other........ :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Stroker has about 275 more horse than me.....

I didn't make the pig carving unfortunately.  I got a call from my wife...  I told her I was going for a couple hours, 7 hrs later she called..
