    Either way, I have the other video being uploaded right now. I will link it in a few minutes.

    Thanks Again,

    Jake nice run no doubt.... the only way to prove the dispute WRONG is to "RUN THE 1.1 60FT AGAIN"........ In the past at GLDW there have been a good number of computer error. One guy I knew FWD 22x8x15 M/T turned in 1.38 60ft.... when he raced a 9 sec HOTROD!!! Another of my fellow friend in Texas with a TURBO4 car(street FWD Honda) hit a 1.3 60ft and turned in 9.3s@151mph and was declaried ERROR... his usual times are 9.6-9.7@151mph...with 1.5-1.6 60ft. BEST way again Jake is to run it and BACK it up 2-3 times and then people wont say sh1t...
    When we ran 10.1s-10.2s@145-147mph in our Drag FWD Honda alot of the guys on the stand BSed us until we backed it up a 2nd time...hehe!!!

    You guys tell me what you think.

    THE OTHER VIDEO!


    Hey Jake it is hard to say with that video... seems like you triggered your light first, but he got you with his launched and then you passed him a bit... after that you seemed to be in front from there on... WHAT DID HE RUN AND HIS 60ft???? Sometimes the LOUD V8s can trigger your 60ft light due to debris/noise/etc etc... with you launching ahead of him and when he actually edged you to the 60ft could've triggered his and your 60ft light...cutting your 60ft with a 1.13.. Or plain and simple the computer screwed up cause by the Video seemed like the last YELLOW light finally went off when you almost passed the 60ft....giving you the 1.13...JUST A THOUGHT!!! Most guys that have hit low 1sec 60ft out of random have been through faulty triggering of some sort... Hey Jake again best bet is to PROVE the doubters wrong by taking her back to the track and bust it again 2 times.....Usually the crowd and the doubters(the ones you are arguing with) wants to see backups.. good luck!!!

    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!
    Hey Jake run it at the next IW#6........ Even if you are mid 9s run the Frantic 7........... balls out!!! I'm trying to get a car into the 10secs by 9/24/06.... i know it isn't fast enough, but it'll be FUN......

    Holy hell, no matter what way you slice it, impressive run. Kinda kicking myself for not coming out that night cause I was really contimplating (sp?) coming out. Wish I could have seen it run in person, especially to watch it beat that pinto

    In any case looks like you getting it to hook up. What boost was that at?

    i dont see how the reaction time has anything to do with this. That time is completley sepeate from your actually quater mile run. The other guy could run a 2 tenth slower time and still be ahead of you cause he had a better R/T, and you could be running 2 tenths faster and be behind him.

    My guess is that it somehow triggered you leave (i.e. the R/T trigger) on your back wheels. It would explain the a little too high of an R/T and a little to low of a 60'... but the good news would be that if it did do that your 1/4 time is still very accurate

    looking at the 330 and the 1/8: I am compairing it to my runs and others runs, and would have to say the whole thing is about 3tenths off. This is leaving me with a 9.5-9.6 which I am still very happy with.

    Unless the unlikely happens, I will see 8s this year.

    It says Bike Night. Is it slicks only night because the bikes had a rain day or something?

    Is it too much to ask if Iussu could be there again to help line up the tires and get some more sweet video?
