Thread: Hitting the strip

Not bad for a first try.

Man twenty runs and nothing broke thats great yeah the temp and elevation where your at is greatly affecting your time and speed but none the less it was good for your first time out more practice should be good congrats

I will be hitting the strip again maybe in two weeks. Hopefully there will be someone there that is willing to race against a sentra.

There were some guys out there with their srt4s really jumping to stomp me, but I pulled on them hard in 3rd. One race my buddy nate was running for me and he raced a stage 3 srt4. neither one of them hooked at all. The neon took him by almost 3 cars off the line and Nate caught up and beat him by .01 seconds. HAHA that guy was PISSED!

I think next time I will run some of the guys with slicks and redlight it on purpose so I can see how well I do from a roll. I was eating up space between myself and this camaro pretty quickly and he was running low 12s.

Boost controller is going on haha.

Haha... thats good news get at least get some drag radials and some more practice and you will be running 12 sec on street tires
You are getting same trap speeds as me the only difference its the times... I did 12.8 @ 113 and the jockey did a pass of 12.4 @ 117 stock 10:1 JDM DE with a 50 trim turbo and 1 bar of boost.... I was geting 2.2 sec on 60 ft on these passes with 205-55-14 Nitto Drags

Wow, 2.2 sec? Is it hard to get 2.0 60ft? I see a lot of guys with slicks hitting as low as 1.8 but that is really really good. I would like to hit a 2.0 60ft with some monster slicks.

I think the time was pretty good considering track conditions.

My friends VE-T gets consistent 1.7's on 60ft with 23/8/13 M&H Slicks you wont need monster slicks to get those 60ft that you want....Actually that size slick i think its the best for a full interior car with up to 500 whp...

I will keep that in mind. Will 13" fit with my nx2k brakes? or will I need bigger wheels?

depends on the wheels, i have used the 13x8 aero wheels summit sells, they fit around my nx2k brakes, they have a 3in offset i think so they stick out of the fender pretty far

How much do those things run? If they are not really expensive I may invest in some for kicks. I don't really wanna invest a lot of money in going straight, but it is fun so I will prob do it.
