looking good mate, what was the 60?

also have you found you can stall it higher using the hand brake ?

[ittwgn]

shit 1.8 60ft on that vid !!!! without handbrake it will push thru start !!!! anway ran again on wed no luck still can't hook up 1.8 60ft's a few 10.1s with a new pb mph of 153.44mph fark yeh speaking to some guys there watching thinking it's lag costing me as it launch's then sits there for a second then all hell breaks loose !!!! they convinced me to try transbrake for the first time still only a 1.75 60ft but went 9.8@151mph here,s a gopro vid of that run on the roof !!! you can hear the rear end get whacked !!!!! thinking a 50shot of nos to get it out of the hole !!!! cheers

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?

[ittwgn]

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...

[ittwgn]

that's the thing I can't tell whether it's wheelspin or just lag at any tyre pressure !!! it just hesitates after launch then all hell breaks loose !!!

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.

hi just an update got stall converter raised from 3000rpm to 4200 !!! ran today first pass huge pb 1.51 60ft 9.235@153mph yeeehaaa next pass gave it less off the line went 1.59 60ft 9.35@ 151.9mph now the bad news as I came thru line on that pass huge smoke show !! think I've done a head gasket!!! tow truck home shit happens hopefully that's all it is !!! cheers

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!!
