How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
Just another call-out to Swifty to get his ass to the track since he's been building a drag car for years now...hopefully this adds a little more fire under your ass!

Good old dsmstyle days.

I made about 5 passes in the Talon back in 2006 or so, rocking the t28. Never got to see what it would do on the final setup, wanted to go but rained out last day last year, oh well. I should be able to pull some mid 11's in the V, maybe this summer.

Hey swifty, give us new numbers! I saw your car on the dyno last night, but they said the tune wasn't complete yet.

I am nothing compared to the pimp smackin', race car building swifty.

But I have taken a shit the size of a forearm before. Oh my car runs great right now.

I've raced at Brainerd once. Did 2:05 on a 2.5 mile track in a 90hp MR2 that had a transmission that wouldn't shift, brakes that barely worked and a throttle that would get stuck closed.

Oh, drag racing... Carry on. :)

I was standing there while Shane was talking to him. "Shaft play" and whatnot...didn't seem too encouraging. :(

I haven't even spectated...murlo blew up his shit on my first trip to spectate.

somewhere around 100ish with my old 95 GSX on the drag strip and 6 or 7 local rally cross events while with my old black 1G.

Swifty, even if you have to rent a car, this is your year!!!

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
I've made 4 passes in my shitty maroon talon. Ran some terrible times, but was still fun.

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?

Haven't done any stop light racing at the track, but I have gone down the FULL straight at BIR several times.

awd-drifter 06-10-2010 07:38 PM

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
I've got about 22 passes in the Galant. 15-20 in other people's cars.

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
did a few in the fiero in the v6 days, none in the talon or 300.

4seasons69 06-10-2010 09:28 PM

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
I have about 23 total. 5 in my old mazda and if i remember correctly 18 in my old talon. I really hope to get my bike to the strip this year! just have to get off my lazy but and get a tethered killswitch

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
Took my old DSM to the track and got about 5 passes out of it before the clutch started slipping too much.

GG_9_SE 06-10-2010 09:48 PM

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
i think im right around the 20 mark but thats only 8th mile when my car only had an exhaust and stock tune. best time was like an 8.8 at 80mph or something?

311evo 06-10-2010 10:01 PM

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
I have prolly around 50 passes, 8th mile as well. The only difference is a shift into 4th and keeping it pinned. hah.

Yea i tried to go to the dragstrip...was unsuccessful.

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
Shane was not talking about shaftplay. Turbos fine, just other issues.

I've been to the strip, just not my car. So..I guess that means..nevaaar!!! I was ready end of last year till it rained out.

goodhart 06-10-2010 11:10 PM

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
 
I've made about 30 or so passes in the dyke-mobile 9000.

You'll eventually run your car, I have faith in you.

We should make a small wager for motovation. See which car will make a pass 1st. My Chevelle or your 1G. You've got good odds of winning as your car runs and mine has been in pieces since 02.

I made 15 passes in the Talon the last time I was at Cedar Falls.

I've made little over 70 passes in all types of cars: DSM's, Evo, Lightning, Honda's, FWD SR20's, Neon (yes...) ect. The drag strip is where my heart is. It's a blast everytime I go out. I just hate counting down the days till the next time I go haha.

Some where north of 200 passes if I include all the Grove Creek (1/8th) visits too.

The old V8 Fiero and my V6 Fiero way back in the day, 95 Talon, and my Evo IX. Some passes in other peoples cars too.
