You all know I have been plotting revenge every since that lightnight pulled me on the street. Well last night I got my wish! lined up next to the turd and he laughed when I put my helmet on. Anyway 4 tenths slower than my normal time, but I spun through 1st and still smoked his Azz. Enjoy!

I also ran a Chevy SS truck not sure of the year with the same results. I am just not as proud to beat another chevy. and my wife tripped over my stock tires while tryin to get it on the camera!
haha thats badass you tore up that L. ive only gotten one but those things are fun to beat
Including actual times:
Reaction -.123
60' 2.069
330 5.504
1/8 8.336
1/8 86.60
1000 10.816
1/4 12.921
1/4 106.89
As you can see after upping my spray to 125 and tuning the AFR to 11.0 my 60' time on this run is actually 3 tenths slower than the 9.9 AFR 100 shot due to so much tire spin. My 1/4 was a full 4 tenths slower with the added power. On this run I spun through first gear and into second.
nice!! you whooped his ass!http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/c...eer_cheers.gif
Actually after looking at the slip from that run I red lit, so I lost.Quote:

heh, no he was at least 5 tenths slower than my time. I was just admitting I left early.
Yeah but you beat him by a lot more than you left early by...
Thats true, but I do not want any ford drivers saying I cheated so , I just admitted I left early before anyone called me a cheater! If it would have been in compitition the other truck would have taken the win! Oh well we will all redlight every once in a while trying to cut .0xx reaction times
what is considered a perfect reaction time?
0.0000
just a little work on the traction and get the 60' and you should run some 11's!
I am sure it will do it. I am going to drop it 2 in front and 2 more in the rear, change out the front all terrains to something lighter. I still need to lean it out a bit for 11.5-11.8. I am going to get some caltracs and straight slicks. Hopefully that will get the job done! If it is still not in the 11.9x range hooking up solid I will add a second stage!Quote:

At some tracks perfect on a sportsman tree is 0.500. It all depends on the way they display the board and print the time slips.
Reaction time on a sportsman tree is .500 pro tree is .400, but on either tree a perfect reaction time will be displayed as .000 on your slip. In other words on a pro tree .000 means you are dead on .400 reaction time. Another way to say it is what is on your slip is how much you are over or under the perfect reaction time for a given tree.Quote:

A good reaction time is .1xx or .0xx
damn i guess i better gas it earlier hahaa. when do people typically mash the throttle... i was trying to figure it out without red lighting. but obviosly im slow haha. so in essence. if you could hit a perfect light i would pick up 6/10's of a second??? obviously i wont but... im just sayin.Quote:

That is why in heads up racing such as top fuel you will hear them say "hole shot win" this means the winning racer had a slower E.T. but since they cut a better light they crossed the finish line first.

I usally nail it when the last amber lights, I usually cut .1xx reaction, but sometimes I redlight. So by no means am I perfect.Quote:

so as the last amber lights you nail it? WOW no wonder im so damn bad lol i was hitting it much beyond that haha. **** the light was probably green by the time i hit it. but again i dont know the rules of how it works so this should help haha.Quote:

If you think about it this way, if you are leaving 6 tenths behind the other lane you will have to run at least 6 tenths faster to even tie him to the finish line, not that this will affect your E.T., but it will affect the outcome of the race. The timer does not start until your front wheels leave the staged beams and stops when you break the beams at the quarter.
Now some people believe that deep staging (creeping up until pre stage beam goes out) will help the 60' time, but I am of the thinking that the farther back in the beams I am the more momentum I will have before the timers starts. But this is all personal preff.

ahhh i see. well that makes a little more sense then. i just went and did test and tune so i wasnt really concerned with beating the other guy. although i did beat all the 3 vehicles i raced some old cuda, my buddies dodge, and gmc :LOL:Quote:

At Texas Motorplex a perfect Sportsman light is displayed as .500 on the board and on the time slip. A .520 is a damn good light. Most other places display and print 0.000 as perfect. Some actually display 0.000 as perfect and print 0.500 as perfect on the slip.Quote:
