All -- I've got a bunch of videos from the VOI drags, but I'm on a dialup line right now out here in TN, so you'll forgive me if I don't upload most of them until I get back on Monday. As has been observed in a number of other threads, the VOI drags were a mixed bag. There were some bright lights -- Albert running a 9.99, RSI running 148 MPH and Albert and DLM both running 147 MPH -- but in general I think it's fair to say none of the top dogs were happy with the results. There was very little testing time, and as you know the races were cut short by rain. Still, there were some good showings, and I have a bunch on video and will be posting them as soon as I have some decent bandwidth.
For your collective amusement / edification, I've got a couple of Doug's runs in my DLM car. I never thought I'd say it, but: right now I've got too much HP! I don't want to elaborate on what I plan to do just yet (in case it doesn't work
) but I think the problem's solvable without giving up the ultimate HP Doug's put into the car.
OK, no more words. Here's a pass made (attempted) at about 1050 RWHP. Watch Doug launch. Watch Doug go sideways in 1st and 2nd. Watch Doug reach 3rd by about 50 mph
Watch what happens when it finally hooks up...
DLM Level 4 - Medium power
No surprise, then, when we turned the power WAY down (~800 RWHP) the car was a bit quicker:
DLM Level 4 - Low Power
