This is true.....just take a trip to ATCO New Jersey for the PAN AM!

Most of the cars were the Toyota starlets! They either have a rotary, Mitsu, or Yoda motor in them.

 

Hey guys, this car already did 10.9 more than 2 weeks ago using the same slicks I used for my 10.5 pass on GT35R. With some 1.48 on the 60ft he did 10.92 @ 120MPH! The slicks have a lower profile than the stock tires and they kill your MPH, same happened to me, I got 129mph instead of the +133MPH that we were expecting.

He is a good friend, the car is very lightweight, no exhaust and slicks, but still with stock turbo, stock intercooler and stock internals, pretty amazing car and very good driver.

this is the slip and video:

The car was on display at HIN: Puerto Rico this past weekend!

 

Coqui... Coqui...

For those that think they are running on a shorter track...




Looks good according to Google earth!! hehe

Let's clear some other doubts...

This track in particular, is actually facing the east. In the tropics the winds come from the east (trade winds). So they are actually running against the wind.

Let's see what else oh DA (density Altitude) no they are not running in negative DA. Again they are in the tropics! Is hot, is humid. DA are actually in the +1500 at night and over +2000 during the day at sea level. (this is for those who are pilots or know something about weather)

N2O... many people have seen this car and can guaranteed is not running N2O.

So the only thing that can be done is give props where props are due!

This people work hard on their cars, are great drivers and know what they are doing. Don't hate!

 

Coqui... Coqui...

Crickets...Crickets....

 

Ah... nope. It would be Quicker ET and lower trap speed.

Actually this one is NHRA certified.

There is another NHRA certified 1/4 strip on the north side of the island and 1 IHRA certified 1/4 track in the southern side of the Island. Anyway there are more drag strips in Puerto Rico per square mile than in any other place in the world. PR is were the import acceleration began. I've been all around the world and I've never seen anything like it. Pick a car brand (no matter how ****ty it is) and we probably have one going really fast. Is basically a national hobby.

 

Here you go for those who dont believe that the car ran 10.9 this is the video

Nope ?
Dont know how it works down there , but the way i see it is....

The trap is the last 66' of the track , and the time it takes to cover 66' is "trap speed"
sooo if it takes .4 sec to go through the traps your trap speed is 112.5 mph OR 165 feet per sec .
So *IF* the trap is shorter it would take less time to go trough it and giving you a higher trap speed
so lets say the the trap is really 65 feet (but its still caculated like it 66 feet) vs 66 feet and iam runing 112.5 mph(165' per sec)
that would mean now it LOOKS LIKE your doing 167.5' per sec
OR 114.23 mph

So YES a shorter track/trap distance will make the look faster and quicker .

and yes i did look this up

btw the links math is wrong but the process is right ...

btww iam still joking about the short track ..........

 

lol ^^^ Yeah that works if the traps are shorter but if the track is shorter and the traps remain at the same distance then it don't work. The fact the further the distance the higher your speed is going to be.

But this is way off topic. The track is NHRA certified and you were not joking. lol

 

video was kinda gay.. but w/e lol

awsome looking car n time!

 

ok, im done....car looks and runs awesome! Is it on EMS? Race gas?....What boost? what tires? give us some details.

 

what size tire was used in the 10.9x pass?

 

26 X 7.0 Slicks on 17" wheels.

 

who builds this tire?

 

Mickey Thompson... they are motorcycle tires! (yeah I didn't believe it either but they work)

Part # 3221

2 Evos uses it and both of them got 1.4 60ft!

 

wow thats crazy!

i wonder how bad the weight has been exceeded in use of the motorcycle drag tires.

i would think the tires couldn't hold the weight of an automobile....interesting!
