Linn1647545492 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 not bad at all for the money spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks guys That 10.9 pass was the first pass I have made in any damn thing since crashing my car. Needless to say we were surprised. As long as it goes low 11's we should win the competition. Keep in mind this is a road race car, more than a drag car-and the suspension is set up as such.

Kevin R. Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Pretty nice for the money spent! Is this your car or Shearer Fabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Neither-it was a team operation, but the name on the title is Grass Roots Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 1.6x 60' with a suspension setup more for road racing is sweet. I would love to see the 60' and time with a drag setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Dood, If you let MattsV8 pilot that thing, he probably could pull a 1.38 60' and you'd get DEEP into the 10s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Doing projects with your buddies is sweet, especially projects that cost less than a four wheeler and go mid 120's in a 1/4 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Doing projects with your buddies is sweet, especially projects that cost less than a four wheeler and go mid 120's in a 1/4 mile. That was the best part-It would be impossible to get it done without everyone's honest effort, and the car came together great with everyone working on thier little projects. It makes me what to suggest that all of our cars be a team effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 20th in the Road Race. -Junk- Pro drivers were on site but the stubborn owner of the car would not let anyone else drive it-likely may have lost the competition because of it. Team slow shift only managed an 11.4 in competition, but @127mph. It seems the 45whp we picked up in tuning on the dyno (over the seat of pants tune it went 10.9@125 on) actually made a difference. We just need to reinstall the driver gasket. We'll see what the results are-I believe there were some 80+ cars in the competition this year.
