Some girls do want an 8 second ride
Congrats Jake. Hopefully we will see you in the 8's soon. Wish I could have been there for that.
That is a hell of a fvckin' run!!
One thing I did notice in the video..... after you took off, the second set of 'Staging' lights werent tripped until late in the 60'.
Maybe its just me, or the camera angle, but does anyone else see that?
Not trying to take anything away from you... its just something I noticed.
Edited for spelling.

No No thats fine.
That is kindof what I was asking about before. I know the car did better than the 9.6 next to me but I am starting to wonder if it didnt do as well as I thought.
The other explaination I heard was look at the Pinto's R/T against mine and then Look at the 60's. Im 3tenths slower in the R/T but 3tenths faster in the 60'. If you look the rest of the way down the slip, I stay about 3 tenths ahead until about the 1/8th mile. This was all just brought to my attention and I dont know what to think about it.
Someone else might know better than I do. I will tell you what though. I am capping the wastegate off and pushing that fu(king thing down the track again within the next week or so.
Thanks otherwise to everyone!
I really want to be there for this!!! you have my number, or PM me!Originally Posted by TopStreetDsm

That was an AWESOME run!
Now because you asked I have made two 10 second
pass's in the right lane...in my 12 second Omni I have
never disputed the right lanes 60 foot time but the left
lane has given my FWD car 1.6, this same car only run
on street tires has never gotten better than a 1.9 when
tires were new. Just make another pass and you will confirm
it, and I would love to watch that car is FLYING at any rate!

Very nice looking run Jake. 8's are getting closer.
03 Audi RS6 -v8 twin turbo-
02 Crewcab Dually -dropped and smoking on semi wheels -
02 VW Jetta -1.8t will nevar lose-
Now that you mentioned that, I watched the video over and over again. Jakes stage light did not go off until he was well into his 60'. There was difinitely something funky with the lights. Unfortunately, that would tell me that he did not pull a 1.1xx 60' or a 9.20 ET. But I wish he would have, it would have been awesome! I have no doubt that Jake will match or better his 9.20 ET within his next few times to the track but I don't know if he will be able to pull a 1.1 60', but you never know. Good luck Jake.Originally Posted by Brian98GTP

Jake, does your car meet NHRA requirements and are you licensed? If so, I would like to see you at Route 66 in Joliet, IL next weekend. Best track in the country and other fast DSM's. If you're going to lay down your best time, that's the best place to do it.

Yeah I have kind of been coming to the conclusion that the run was more like a 1.4 sixty with a 9.5x 1/4mi. This is the debate I have been going through.
I am going to be down this week to back it up either way. If all goes well there will be a 9.20 or better with out the funkey lights!
200 POSTS WHOOT!
That's the spirit!!!!I am going to be down this week to back it up either way. If all goes well there will be a 9.20 or better with out the funkey lights!
I'm sure you're planning on it already, but whatever thread you make about your new PB will be worthless without some awesome vids like in this post..

Thanks Cryptic & Loudrex!
A good friend of mine in Idaho just pointed out another mistake that I made....
Watch the in-car video again. I shut down early. You can still plain as day see the 1320' marker in the video through the front windshield. I dont know how much (if any) this would have affected the time, but it could have caused some mph loss. Im glad I dont drink with how bad I normally am!
The LED backlit gauges are nice. SW makes a 2LED and a 4LED bulb. The 4LED bulbs are supposed to be for the 3 3/8" and bigger gauges but I put them in all the gauges. It really lights up the inside of the car.
The in-car is pretty cool. Its a sony flip open hand held 5m camera, and the mount is a stock dsm connecting rod with a bolt and a lock nut welded to it. I will get a pic.
