Is a win "first to cross the finish line" with the tree programmed to give the cobra a 0.2 second head start? ....or, are we still going on just ET's? Makes a difference to me in how I vote! Cheers from Dugly :cool: |

Why does the dog wag its tail? %/
computerworks, you can't answer. ;) |
In simple terms - Dan's cobra will run in the 10s with proper tuning and good (not pro) driving skills. The Ferrari will run consistant low 11s as demonstrated. And I like Dan's .2 hedge, and no fear win style. Unfortunately, I do not think we will be filming the event for an episode as no confirm to offset a few expenses for the film crew hosts copter etc..seems odd since these folks are high rollers..should be good for u tube

I've never been an expert, ever, on anything, but I would think without traction, I don't see 10's or low 11's.
Also, I'm still very confused about the open car vs. roll cage issue. Will he or won't he be kicked off the track, if Dan's Cobra breaks 12's? I've heard responses that said if the track is rented and waivers are signed, then he can run what he brung. I've also heard that the track rules still apply no matter what, who or when. If Dan runs only one run and he's kicked off the track, then I would think he forfeits the 2nd and 3rd runs. Assuming, track rules apply, in any situation. |
Dan would be wise to get a roll cage, proper harness, drive shaft loop, arm restraints, and any other safety equipment the track requires. He'll definitely go all out to win, but I don't think he has a death wish. Besides, the additional weight would probably help him with traction.

Hi all. A win is defined by ET. We do 3 parallel runs. I have to win each parallel set. So he could launch 3 seconds after me, or vice versa, but we're generally going to try and go at the same time for the excitement factor. He will be in the Goodyear track slicks that look like billboards but are different; no drag slicks or drag radials. -Tom

So are you going to use any kind of starter? Flag drop, bra toss, tree, etc?

I have 3 possible answers to share: 1) 'cos it's happy or excited 2) because the dog is smarter than the tail, otherwise the tail would wag the dog. or more likely (& my answer to most things) 3) ...because it can! :LOL::LOL::LOL: |
Tommy What kind of 60 foot times did your car run ? Thanks Mark
|
Is the track going to kick Dan out after the first run for not having rollcage?
|
In terms of the details of the runs, here's 1:
60' - 1.963 330 - 5.012 1/8 - 7.440 MPH - 100.84 1000 - 9.517 1/4 - 11.269 MPH - 131.84 And here's another: 60; - 1.929 330 - 4.976 1/8 - 7.405 MPH - 100.74 1000 - 9.480 1/4 - 11.228 MPH - 132.19 |
Tommy, it doesn't look like you used the Ferrari launch control for your runs, is this correct?

Thanks, Dimis. |
Fred - that's correct. I didn't use LC, so that I could use full auto.

Thank you, great pics.......

With the 130+ trap speed and a 1.9+ 60 foot you're definately 10 second capable. Get that 60 foot down to a 1.6 or a 1.7 and you'll see a 10.9x... or better. |
