A good night of racing (video)
 

Now that the car is all together I finally had a chance to field it in tonights Real Street 10.0 Index class up at Stanton. I guess you could say I stormed the class with a vengance and qualified #1. It was a great time and a friend managed to video tape all but my first round of qualifying. Here's the timeslip info:

I couldn't see him and I didn't want to slam on the brakes. I lifted just a smidge, but should have waited just a touch longer. Oh well!

Enjoy the video of all but the very first round of qualifying for me. This is not dial up friendly, about 10Mb. I didn't get any video of anyone else unfortunately.

Real Street

Congrats man. Looks like you lost the final by a RCH. Next time pull up on the hand brake, it will slow you down without showing the brake lights. I need to get your combination if you are willing to share it.

No handbrake on this setup. The combination is simple, ARE 382 All Bore solid roller, Rossler TH400, Neal Chance converter, NX 200 DP setup, and some trick suspension work. Other than that it's easy, lol!

AWESOME!!! :eek: :eek:

Looks like it's workin' ok:) Awesome

Great job Steve!

WooooW congrats Derty....:cool:

and how can this clean car goes that fast J/K ........:)

Nice car, nice consistency and nice times.
:bow:

Did you run that 9.9 @122mph timeslip with nitrous or N/A?

WOW congrats BTW!

sweet job whooping some butt!!
very nice!

It was with nitrous but I lifted at the end. I just didn't lift enough to win, go figure! Based on the 1/8th mile time it would have been somewhere in the 9.8x range about 139-140.

Steve, u need a better quality digital video camera. :D


But awesome job man! Congrats! Your car is badass.

The camera is actually fine, it's the quality of the video that I sacrificed. You should see the master copy that I have, it's flawless. But it's also outrageously huge. Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to host videos that are 1024k bit rates all the time.

Damn, cause I could sure use a better quality video for Michigan Muscle III collection. :D

Umm, well, bring your camera to M8 then. If you have any footage that you want, I can get you the hi-res stuff. Just tell me the timing on the video and I'll get the clips. In all honesty, I'm waiting on the 9.88 video still. That one should look pretty good.
