Never said you're car wasn't quick.
HOWEVER, any accomplishments you make with your car are far outshadowed by your level of douchebaggery shown here.

Now quote this for keeps.

Let's argue again, it's Alex




For you specifically, said that the track was **** after Pat and I left on the 17th and you coundn't run the number(obviously they wouldn't drag the track for you) yet Mikey V. and others made their record runs that afternoon as good as Pat and I in the morning.

What they're saying on YB is that:

******************************************************
I'd like to thank Jim Halsey , Dave O & Cecil county

Dave & Jimmy really took care of me today at the track-every time I pulled in the lanes-Jimmy Jumped on the tractor & made sure the track was right! I guess a little too "Right" - since I have to fix my oil pan , rack/Kmember & struts now

And check my front wheels.

______and_______

We are coming next saturday the 8th with a group of impala and caprices, i hope we can get bad ass prep like u guys had today. I love cecil in the cold.
****************************************************

It doesn't say anything about what they may or may not do December 8th. You're advertising a maybe.

I have satisfied my need for speed this year. I'm going to rest on my laurals all winter relishing finally getting the right numbers out of this car. I've worked pretty hard. Good luck to everyone attending and hopefully we'll see some more personal bests happen. I may pursue the nitrous record in the spring :)
 
#102 ·
Fred G,

I will take your rear brakes off to save some weight since your brake line done busted.
I'll clamp the brake line with some vice grips :)
That'll get you a 10.99!

I'm still trying to figure out why popadocalexss is on YellowBullet. That's a site for people who actually race their cars at more than one track. :rolleyes:

Atco, cecil, mir, capitol. I even go to richmond 3-4 times a year. What u smokin uncle pauly. And tjose r tracks that i frequent. Notice i didnt add etown to the list. Been there 8 times n will never go again. I have even been to Zmax and raced on the 4 lane drag strip at pinks all out. Sshs11 in atlanta.

He tried a 100 shot last cold drag day and only went 10.18! I think he should come and try again. Lets go mikey!!! It aint a party if ur wheel standing bbody aint there!!!
 
#111 ·
I agree Mike Harris, BRING IT and see what it will do when you hit that thar button 2 seconds out! (you will already be ahead of Alex then anyway!) hehehe

Last year I ran it to the top of 3rd gear, let off and coasted through on motor. I'll have to formulate a plan for the best way to use it on my car, but a second or so out/after the 1-2 shift sounds like a great place to start. Thanks for the encouragement and invites, but I think I'm staying home and get some work done.

Not trying to pick a fight but im bringing this up becuz i have been debatin this with a few 7,8, and 9 sec racers lately. But in ur 10.18 @ 131mph thread u stated u were shuttin it down at the 1000. Well these giys r tellin me if u shut down at the 1000 ur et will not change at all. Only ur mph will slow down. They say they let off every race at the 1000 becuz of that. And these r big grudge guys that race 2 times a week for 10-20k a race. Atco shuts down for these guys. Whats u guys thoughts?
 
#140 ·
Use the right combination of these formulas and making the assumption of constant acceleration, it can be PROVEN that shutting down at 1000' will produce a longer elapsed time than accelerating through 1320'. It doesn't matter if it is a 16 second stock Impala or a sub 4 second Funny car - just the lower the ET, the less effect.

Glad I could help.

Constant-Acceleration Linear Motion


v = vο + a•t


(x-x

ο) = vο•t + ½•a•t²





v ² = v
ο² + 2•a• (x - xο)




(x-x
ο) = ½•( vο + v) •t



(x-xο) = v•t - ½•a•t²
Integrate that to the next DiffyQ level and you can prove by acceleretion.

I took "diffyQ" to get my minor in mathematics. I think I was in an integrated classroom.cwm3

Prolly because "Mr. Hook" doesn't want to flip over backwards onto his roof. ;)

Read your own time slip and determine the difference between your 1000' time that might say 8.66 (like mine) and the 1/4 mile time that might say 10.43 (like mine). Now had I let off on this run at 1000 feet, sure some of the speed would carry me through, but my ET would have been from several tenths or more slower. I assure you that I was still accellerating (in 4th gear) accross the finish line on that run.

Also, I race with people in other places as well and know folks that click it off at 1000' for qualifying purposes. Be careful buying into everything "racers" tell you, some have been known to lie.
 
#119 ·
Yeah im not pin pointing u only mike. Im just using that as an example. These guys are people im friends with that come to our track rentals every time. I no for a fact that they shut down at the 1000. But i just dont no how it would not slower ur et when u have 320' left that ur not accelerating.
 
#121 ·
If their car is geared for the 1/8th (like most of the outlaw drag radial cars) and they try to run the quarter,
they could be on the limiter after the 1000 and therefore,
they won't gain much ET by staying on the gas through the quarter.
