Saturday a group known as the supercars chicago made a treck out to Byron Dragway. Weather was great and cars were fast. There were quite a few cars in out group from supercharged vipers, nitrous vipers, motor vipers, Crazy Lexus, Supras, Mercedes, Lightning, etc....
The highlights included are....
SMS racing implemented a new Nitrous setup on Butch the Snake's car, on a new motor. With only 2 passes on this car with nitrous (a small about 200shot) the car went 10.33@136mph with a less than perfect 1.65 60' (ET streets). This car/driver has been solid in the 1.5 60' with this car. Butch had other obligations and thus had to leave so the car didn't get its 9 that day, but will shortly. We slapped the street tires back on and I drove the car on motor to see what it would do with a average driver. I have never launched a viper at the drag strip (or from a stop even). I managed, on one pass, a 11.88@122 (short shifting at 5500rpm) with a 1.99 60'. This sort of shows the driveability of this car. And in the hands of Butch, there are low 11's on the street tires on motor. We are very pleased with this combo and will keep everyone updated with out 2 new nitrous setups as we perfect them.
Other highlights:
HOLD TIGHT (aka John W) in his 1998 GTS with just Headers and Exhaust got a new personal best of 11.79@120 on street tires (pretty damn good for a basically stock car)
Issac 2002 GTS matched a personal best of 11.1@131 on street tires with a 150 shot
Mike D took his brothers 1997 GTS to a 12.02 on the first pass
Chris T has a Lexus that pretty much destroyed SW's old record for a SC300 Lexus. Chris pulled a best ET of 10.18 and a best speed of 141 mph. Not bad for a luxury car huh
A street tire supra doing 136mph traps was with us
the Supercharged Viper (paxton blower) could not hookup at all on those 19" wheels. Was trapping in the 128mph
Mercedes E55AMG bone stock hit a 12.2@113mph
and my lightning grabbed a 12.8 with a 1.8 60' (tires are done, spinning in second)
This is just a small recap with pics and vids to follow.
