Video of my car at Texas Invitational

[Nine Ball]

I ran the blue Corvette with the bottle turned off. 900 rwhp vs 900 rwhp. Then I ran the 1200 whp Nissan GT-R with the bottle turned on. GT-R runs low-mid 9s in the 1/4-mile.

Listen to that Viper cam loping

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Nine Ball your car sounds ridiculous! I would say one of the best sounding Vipers I have heard

Nice thanks for posting. As always your car is killer. I know your last outting got rained out, but are you going to try and make it out to the 1/4 mile this year or too busy.

 

[345s-bspinnin]

Great runs along with some great competition.

Now tell me how much pressure you run on those DRs. My car is all over the road with my 345/35-18 MTs.

 

[Nine Ball]

I will definitely make it to a 1/4-mile this year. Just been too busy, and I travel a lot for work. Our local 1/4-mile is only open on Fridays, and it is hard for me to get there on a weeknight.

Tires at 17 psi cold, 18-19 psi hot.

I know the owner of the blue vette here in KC. You put the hurting on him during tx2k13 on the highways of Mexico.

what were your trap speeds?

153-157 that event. The green flag zone is about 300' long, and the light can come on at any time, so traps will vary some. As soon as the two cars are side by side in tthe green flag zone, the starter can give the green light randomly. So, reaction time does play a little part. Pretty fun format, just like drag racing from 60 mph. We had about 100 vehicles, with the slowest cars in the 800 whp range - and had zero drivetrain failures all weekend.

Tony, are you starting in 2nd or 3rd gear?

 

[Nine Ball]

2nd gear start. 55-60 mph. Shifting almost instantly. But, that little start is usually good enough to jump out a car length in 2nd.

Here is an in-car vid from a previous event practice run. Nitrous arms itself in 3rd+, when I start in 2nd.
