My 9.85 pass from Bradenton has been backed up.........

[1TONY1]

I went to Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds Ga. today for a race. The track was slick and the corrected elevation started at about 1300 feet and ended up at over 2000 feet.

First pass off the trailer, no nitrous. 10.469 @ 140.78 bad sixty foot 1.748

Second pass with nitrous. 9.891 @ 146.37, 1.572 sixty. 1/8 mile 6.479 @ 113.62

Third pass (drum roll please) NO NITROUS, 10.166 @ 141.36, 1.527 sixty ....this my friends....on a decent track with better air would be a 9.9X pass on a stock motor with rockers and exhaust and a Roe supercharger The air on this pass was around 1800 feet. 1/8 mile was 6.603 @ 107.11 I will be looking for that better track and air at the Bradenton Fl. V10 Nationals. BE THERE !!!

Later on (with n02) I missed forth, crammed it back and ran a 10.047 @ 141.39

Last pass of the day (with n02) I spun, 1.660 sixty and still pulled off a 9.974 @ 147.26 Air was about 2100 feet corrected.

[RedGTS]

Tony, congrats on the great numbers. Wasn't your fastest non-nO2 pass prior to this like 10.4x at ~136? (Which as far as I know was the fastest non-nO2 stock heads/cam pass with a Roe blower) Have any of the Roe/heads/cam guys ever run faster than 10.1 at 141 w/o nO2?

[Larry Macedo]

Congrats, Tony. It was great to speak with you the other night.

I think Ward has been doing a GREAT job driving his own car, Tom. And to think, he's only been drag racing a short time compared to most. Aside from that, he also road races his car with the gang @ Safe Motorsports and drives her just about daily. I guess he could mothball his car like some between events, but that isn't why he bought the car.

 

[Tom Welch]

Dammit Larry,

Let me have some fun without getting so serious. I'm gonna cry now.

Again Tony, incredible time, I hope to see you again in the Unlimited class at Bradenton.

 

[Cudaman]

OUTSTANDING Tony.....Way to geter done.

[Cudaman]

Tom ....I saw you make some NICE passes in Gainesville....13 and 12 sec passes....Did you ever get in the low 12's?


Cudaman

Larry is right ....I have 26,000 miles on my 2001 car.

 

[PBJ]

Tony,
That is awesome !!! That MPH is stout also. Well, at least I know what I have to run when I get to Florida. Again, Congrats on some killer passes !!!
Later,
Joe

 

[Simms]

Tony, you must be one hell of a driver. Congrats on the time!

 

[BlueGTS]

Those are some unreal traps with a ROE without spray! What type of water injection system are you using? Did you custom fab an aftercooler?

 

[V10TT]

Tony, impressive mph!... Would that be 10 lbs.?
What rwhp are you making with the juice?.. Also do you need race fuel to tun on boost+ juice?
Thanks!
Congrats!

Congrats!

Thanks guys. I really wanted to back up my one time nine second pass. That is with a 10 psi pulley. The nitrous is fueled by propane so it takes care of it's own octane and the tune/timing is the same as I run everyday.....however, if I know I am going to be beating on the car ie drag passes or dyno pulls I do add some racing gas as insurance. Seven miles away I have 100 unleaded and 110 leaded at two convienence stores...it's just to easy not to do. Daily driving/full throttle with 93 and this tune is no problem.
I look forward to Ward joining me in the 9 club.....but I don't know that he will wait until December

 

[Gerald]

hmmmm, nice run Tony,. I think that's an anomoly. Cold Front, downwind, trak going downhill, water injection. NItrous bottle was leaking into the intake, etc

I fess up Gerald.....I also had the back seat out

 

[Gerald]

I knew it.

 

[MbnViper]

Congrats! Tony are you using any water injection ? with the 10 psi ? and is it easy to install, im asking because my car didnt have a problem with the 10 psi pulley and it didnt need any cooling but im thinking going with a 12 psi pulley ! any ideas ?Thanks

 

[1TONY1]

Yes, water/methonal. As much for the fuel as the cooling. I still have the stock fuel system.

 

[Tom Welch]

Ward,

11.99 my man, at 140 mph on pilots. Must have been the "mothballs" falling out and getting under the tires.LOL

I hope to see you joining Tony and I in the Unlimited class at Bradenton.

Take care,

Tom

That's funny as h*ll! 147 is awesome Tony! With some 1.4x's in FL you're solid 9's no problem...probably all boost. BTW, are you still running the 3.55's? and is that on 28"ers?

 

[fuelman]

Tony great numbers, are you shooting for 9.70s in Bradenton??

 

[J DAWG]

Way to go Tony. low 10's on stock motor and s/c.....nice.



ps - I assume you switched to some 3.07's. Otherwise you must be finishing around 7 grand.

If I were inclined to stir the ***, I might ask:

Nitrous: Supplementary air, comes from an auxiliary tank you have to fill up.

Methane: Supplementary fuel, comes from an auxiliary tank you have to fill up.

Is there a difference in principle here?

If I were inclined to stir the ***, that is.

 

[Joseph Dell]

Unleaded: Fuel, comes from tank you have to fill up...

 

[RedGTS]

Unleaded: Fuel, comes from tank you have to fill up...

Hence the word "auxiliary."
