I ran a fast fox body during test and tune. I think it was a 4 eyed fox with custom paint. Stayed next to him until I hit the brakes at the end. I ended up running 11.51 at 60mph. I know he ran king of the street. Curious who's it was.

Might have been Matt McCoy's car. Evil 86 is his plate I believe.
Nice looking car and it's fast.

I didn't see a plate. He tree'd the hell out of me. I had to play catch up. I might of got a bumper on him before I hit the brakes. His car sounded badass and once I hit the brakes I saw how fast we was going lol. I'm curious what he ran cause he left before me.

Ive heard like 9.40's If he left first and you drove around him Sounds like some high 8's on the horizon for the vette Congrats !!!

Im not sure if his pass was one of his better passes. I know he has me by 2 cars before I left the line. This was my first pass in my car. Adam literally finished it that Wednesday. He may of had some trouble during his pass. If he's on here hopefully he chims in and is honest about his pass. It'll give me a better idea of what my car will run. I highly doubt my car will run 8's. That's makes me think maybe he had some trouble. I wish though lol. I just know once I hit my brakes he passed me like I was going the opposite direction.

I think Adam is tuning his car within the next 2 weeks, so you might need to turn it up, lol.

He'll win then lol. My next pulley option will add 4 more lbs of boost. That'll be too much for the stock short block.

What was your 1/8 mph and time? It will give you a fair idea of your 1/4, although I'm sure your car backhalfs like crazy

I left from a idle. Since it was my first pass I didn't know if it was going to go straight or into the wall. I don't remember the mph but I ran a 6.55 in the 1/8 with a 1.99 60'. Corvettes aren't known for 1/8 mile. Its definitely a top end car. Every Mustang ive owned wouldn't pull nearly as hard in 3rd gear compared to 1st gear. Where my vette pulls harder every time I shift up a gear.

6.50s 1/8 are 10.20s 1/4 ...
So your car is Easy low to mid 9s !!!
That's a Bad Bitch for sure ...

We'll see. I made it to the second to last race. The guy next to me had slicks and pulled the wheels off the ground. Once I got ahead of him I peddled it twice and hit the brakes around 1100'. Still ran a 10.6 @ 137mph. They was pissed and disqualified me. So it doesn't look like I'll get a chance to run faster without a cage.

08-19-2015, 05:07 PM
Sounds like its gonna run real good. Sucks about the cage though cause most places won't let you run. Tristate probably would but who knows what's up with that track anymore.
USMCPONY
08-19-2015, 05:09 PM
Unless I turn it into a full drag car there's no room for a cage.

08-19-2015, 06:34 PM
I never ran a cage. Just take it and have fun, if they kick you out, oh well.
USMCPONY
08-19-2015, 11:25 PM
I talked to him. He said he didn't even bother to get the slip cause his car is a mid 8 second car and he knew it wasn't even close to that. Oh well I guess I'll take my chances getting kicked out lol.

08-20-2015, 10:48 AM
With a 1.99 60' and then going 6.55 1/8 is damn good! Time to let it eat more off the line! Lol they won't be too harsh till you go mid 9's. Which you pretty much have if you hold into it. Then comes the cage, nhra license, etc etc etc lol
USMCPONY

A 6 point would be useless. Id have to get a 8 point. Its a 4LT. I'd literally cry seeing my leather wrapped dash with custom stitching that's only on the 60th anniversary models getting cut up. Plus the bose speakers are right there. Imo it'll ruin the car. I see people on the Corvette forums run ten or more 8 second passes without a cage and I get flack for a 10.6.
draggin50
08-20-2015, 04:42 PM
Yeah I wouldn't go cutting it up either. Just hit the tracks till they give ya the boot. Kilkare will be hard on you. Edgewater I'm not real sure how they are on tech now.

From what I hear kk will let you run half the season and then all the sudden kick you out one day. I hear E20 doesn't let slide at all. I heard Thornhill will let you strap a rocket and won't say anything. Pretty rough track from what I've been told.
draggin50
08-20-2015, 07:08 PM
Kilkare won't let it happen but twice. 1st time they tell you to slow down, 2nd will be your done. It's been a while since I've been to Edgewater but maybe they are about the same. Tristate was always decent as far as tech. Josh would be able to tell more about Thornhill since he was there last week.

11.03 I honestly didn't know what the rules were on that and didn't think it would be that quick..loaded it up and never went back.that was on 2nd pass my traction control messed up on me on the other pass lol,the guy wasn't real nice about it either.maybe someone else works there now but it was guy at the end of the track.
