Speeds in S/G

Nitro Joe Jackson · 01-13-2009, 05:47 PM

150 -154 is fine with us, bottom line, Dad keeps on saying the first SOB that crashes into him going 170mph plus and trying to park in the lights better be knocked out cause he said if he can get out of his car, he will hurt you more, lol

Nitro ,,,,

Please tell Dad , that not everyone who runs High MPH ,, hits the bakes !

I for one still dial my car and attempt to run the number , in the 92 passes I made last year , not once did
I use the brakes except for normal stoping after the race ,,,,,, remember I have hit the wall on more than one
occasion with a Small Block and know what excessive braking can do ( That is another good topic for winter cabin fever ) ---- I was schooled by some very good racers , some on this board on how to drive the stripe and when to start getting out the gas .

One of the reason , I went to a BIG BLOCK , was when I saw Tom Seeman come into Trails and go 9.91 , 9.908 @ 171 MPH,,,,when you dial one of them beast and can be consistent , you will be tough !!!!
Bottom Line run the number and it don't matter , but if you miss the number don't blink , because I'll be right there

Now I will Wap you a couple of times as I pass you but the brake never comes into play ,,,, at least not for me and the folks that have help me to be a better racer ,,,,,, Trust me when you are running high MPH ,brakes are the last thing on your mind , at least mine

Colorful # 37

PS,,,,, Don't beleive CBS ,,, the motor he let me use is making over 1200 HP

I feel a bit inadequete, I think I am the only small block left at 9.90 @ 142.

But I have a new tactic to throw you guys off at the finish line .......................watch for the finger!!!!

......and no that doesn't mean your #1

B CHILLIK · 01-13-2009, 07:31 PM

My good bud Kenny has a SB vega, only runs about 141-143...and he does good...there are some hitters that know how to play the slow mph game..

I think you can do some damage with a lower mph car...even my lowly 150 got me a top 10 in SG in 2005..and I have a Wally in SG...and a few r/ups..I've raced more than my share of high mph cars and won...

But I do believe that racing from behind or beside is easier in alot of cases..

I just cant spend the 20K I would need to go 165...

And I might have hit the brakes more than once giving the fast guy the stripe...

Bryan Gillespie · 01-13-2009, 08:29 PM

Dave: at least you have good neck muscels from turning your head.
And I will have to do it in 09 S/C 1219 8.90 168 with doors!
