smoke- Been trying to get consistent most of all but my best time to date is a 9.2 at 66mph. Been battling lots of issues as of late though...Dyna box blew on me last week so I am on the stock CDI again and head gasket finally let all the way loose last night and been playing with different gearing/tire combos to get it right and well met's just say I have found out what doesn't work...lol needless to say I haven't gotten better than the 9.2 yet but if I can get a CDI that works all the time and get my compression back I think 8.8's are there somewhere.  Ohh Yea and the new M/T Slicks will help too




One of the faster cars

9.2's not bad....440ex i assume is what your running....i think i might take a trip to lakeland and run down their track a few times...what does that track require you to wear?  i see your not wearing leathers.

[Hollywood]

Actually just a 416. It's really a blast and going on T&T night gives me the chance to run as many times as I want. I think I made about 20 passes last night.

Missed your ? about the gear. All they require is a kill switch, over the ankle boots, pants, helmet, gloves and Leather or some type of riding jacket.....I just wear a regular leather jacket and they're cool with it.

[Smoknbanshee]

.586 on a pro tree .400 perfect light?  i always leave on yellow and hang on....that is cools, i am going to call down to lakeland and find out what they require...i would love to see what it does in 1.8th mile...do you ride the clutch to 60 ft. marker or do you just spin the tires?

[svtbolt04]

I dont mean to call BS on you for the times, but 64mph is a bit slow for 9.2.. I ran an 8.8 at 80mph in my Lightning. I also ran a 10.23 at 61mph on my z400.. at 9.2 I would expect atleast 72mph

Sorry, but untill I see a slip, I have to call BS on that.

[Hollywood]

Nah not a pro tree a .500 tree I'm no where near that good on a pro tree. lol Really depends on what tires I am running I tried out some dirt track tires last week and it hooked great right off the line just grab and go..no slipping the clutch and very little tire spin but they are kinda heavy and I lost a lot on the big end. The other times running my MX tires I just spin a little coming off the line. I just really need something that is the best of both lightweight and good traction so I'm getting the M/T's

[Hollywood]

Stand by slip coming up! COuldn't find my 9.2 but here's a 9.3 @ 66 quads aren't like cars simply because of traction every one I've ever seen run traps much lower speeds for the E/T compared to cars due to the lack of tire spin.

[Smoknbanshee]

10-4 hollywood...those are good times for a 416 ex...i am impressed...dang it, i want to go to the track now and lay some times down....we want slips...

[svtbolt04]

I ran a 450r the first time ever at a track. He was stock, ran a 9.1 at 77mph.

So, it takes 13mph (on a quad) to gain a 10th of a second?

[Smoknbanshee]

svt, if your going to compare 1/8th mile time you need to compare 60 ft time....if you ran a 9.1 @ 77 you had a slow 60ft. time, hollywood might be running a 1.5 60 ft time to your 1.8 60 ft. time and that makes a world of difference....1/8th mile speed depends on 60ft time and hp to pull the mph after 60ft.....i am waiting on the time slip, to see the 60ft. time, because that is probably the big difference....
