Just a little A perfect example of what can happen when you shift gear and un-load the rear suspension in combination with a lot of power. Good save and great fun to watch from the starting line.

I see that it's a good thing to upgrade to a double adjustable damper at the back. And maybe get rid of the stance. Even though it looks cooler..

A good start would be some limiter straps that does not allow a lot of camber change....just saying.

I had one of those moments at Santa Pod as well and exactly due to what Kalle describes... It got so far as that I got a little more carefull re-applying power. That behaviour didn't help ET's though!

I noticed your 10.2 was a 216 km/h end-speed. Your first runs in 2016 with 10.6 were 213 km/h though...
Any ideas as to why end-speed seems low-ish wrt your ET? Out of gear?

Not out of gear. I had a 1.04 4th, now it’s a 1.00.

Problem is to handle all the power I dynoed with the tires. I had to go down a bit on power, even on the 10.2 run, to not smoke the tires in 1st and 2nd.

Need to manage power through the run. And a better burnout. My front runners didn’t help as much as before..
Should have had a way of having a burnout setting and a launch setting. Now I do the burnout and launch on the same setting. I could need some more punch in the burnout. But not the launch.


I still have 300 rpm to 7000 over the line.

I agree.

I managed the 1.404 60-foot with the dampers on the loosest setting.

But I wish I could have a stiffer rebound so the car would squat a bit longer..

You are balancing on a very fine line with those "skinny" 215/65 MH Dot tires when you reach your power level. Better go up in size (and grip) on the new car. Better safe than sorry! That said, those MH have REALLY impressed me!

New car will have more tire..

9.5 or 10.5 DOTs.

I tried to use the in-text picture-url thingy to show you guys some pictures of the new car. But even if the pictures is hosted somewhere else, I'm not allowed to show them here because of size

I'm not that keen to do all the work again, anyone know of a quick fix?

I've tried the app before, and for me it's the most confusing app I've ever tested..

I understand that this forum wants to limit hosted photos, but URLing them from another site, and demanding a resize is weird.

It takes some gettin used to but for forums i dont use anything else.

Looks great! I'm still trying to figure out how to pull off a raise narrow like that and retain my back seat and rear sheet metal.
