Awesome stuff! What's with the shit 60' times? Is it something with your setup as surely it couldn't be the track?
Must be the camera angle usually Vids don't look fast that was scaryfast!

going good mate. i hope to race again in july. work keeps getting in the way :(
Love the footage of the tyre standing up down the bottom end. What pressures are you running in the slicks?
run the slicks from 14psi warm down to 10psi warm !!! the last 2 good passes at 10psi was all over the show at 154mph, don't want it moving around anymore than that!!!
I used to run my slicks down that low years ago but hated how loose it gets in the top end, can't imagine how bad it would be at 154mph!!! Were you getting wheelspin at 14psi though? I try to run pressures as high as possible...Quote:

From the video it looks like lag to me and not wheelspin. Do you log your runs? I log each and every run of mine so I can see exactly what the car is doing.Quote:

120+ mph by half track is motoring. That's a superb effort from the Goon. Well done. I suppose you have a thirst for 8s now!!
