Jared Richey Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Suspending you for a year was UNCALLED FOR! But darn what a sleeper! That wouldn't happen at our local 1/8 mile, they just tell you man put a bar in it before you bring it back. Well today is the day, I did get my most important front driveshaft loop installed. I'll let everyone know what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Monte went a best of 7.669@90MPH in the 1/8 mile I had to let it shift itself, I know I'll pick up another .1 or .2 by shifting myself, the car comes out of 1st gear so quick. Shifting on the column the 1st past embarrassed me. I screwed up lets say. Details to come later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Nice time Jared! Thats a high 11 low 12 in the 1/4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Excellent ET...that would be an easy high 11.90 something in the full 1/4 as long as it didn't start to drop off at the top end... If you plan on shifting that car yourself then a ratchet type shifter is the only way to go...no embarassing shifts when you can only shift it one gear at a time...

CrazyDavey Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 awesome Jared....that's a big gain from last time. If you don't mind I 'd like to hear about your set up.

Guest 72yellowmc Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 sweet Jared that 7.66 equates to a 12.03 1/4 ... pretty cool ... I'll bet there's more gains there with some super tuning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill said 11.90, me gonna believe him. And Dave, no fancy setup yet except for the Engine, tranny, driveshaft and rearend. I still have to get drag shocks and things like that.

Heckeng Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Nice jared. You'll definitely pick up some more time by adding a floor shifter--so much less awkward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevyss Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Nice time Jared. Low 12s is great. I'd love to see those times. Keep up the great job and keep us posted with your times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDavey Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 hey Jared, I found a 1/8 track not toooo far from me...think I'll try it out. Never done 1/8 mi before but our 1/4 mile track doesn't run very often. Going to try the Chevelle first....we'll have notes to compare. Hope I can get in the 7's....Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Richey Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Banned till I get some Roll Bars. Man do they stay on top of that more than I thought. Still need to get my electric fans, and put on those drag shocks thats on the way from another forum member here. First pass was a 7.48@91 MPH...warned then a 7.50 Last pass... 7.47@91MPH and time slip was never found. 60 foots were around 1.63 I actually outran a very powerful Supercharged Stang, he went red and got there first but ran a 7.52 to my quicker 7.48 Most likely my career is over till next year. $$$$$$$$$$ to be spent that I ain't got..oh well.

CrazyDavey Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 congrats Jared....you need to find a 1/4 mile track, you could probably still run there. That's probably 11.60, 11.70 my quess...what gears are you running??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just put a block of wood under your gas pedal and you can still race and run consistant times (although slower isn't always fun)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDavey Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just put a block of wood under your gas pedal and you can still race and run consistant times (although slower isn't always fun)... yeah forgot about that Jared, actually I think Jegs sells a simple adjustable mechanical stop that just bolts to the manifold/carb. Friend of mine (he won the National Summit ET series) has it and he just adjusts the stop depending if he wants to go high 11's or 12 o's....but yeah, who wants to go slower..I don't....

Jared Richey Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Thats no fun. For Bracket Racing...yeah. Not what I do. Heck its a Money pit anyway. I'm running 4:11 Gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
