Close?.......But No Banana

Will write it up tomorrow. Yes, I fouled the tree but time is accurate. 350 ft. DA all day.

Damn That’s too bad. I guess less is more when it comes to these cars?

Was this on 93 pump gas tune?

Sky your car number and my car number were the same this weekend. What a coincidence!!

Had to be pump tune… Very good pump et but horrible mph…

He said he had a can of 102 + meth or something like that so defiantly not pump. Unless he changed his mind and didn’t put any race gas and it didn’t spray either.

Oh I’m sure he had race gas in the tank, but I think he ran the pump tune… It is a revo tune though so their timing is pretty high which makes the low mph even more odd… Then again with revo’s past race tune results who knows…

I beginning to question some of these drag strips.

Like the left lane at Thompson! Lol

How can he run 12.1 and only 110 mph. Someone explain the math to me.

Not only that, but his 1/8 mile mph is way low, almost like the car short shifted or some shit. Especially if he was truly running the 100oct file. …?

Very wierd.

Another thing, doesn’t his neg reaction time make his 60ft shorter? Meaning he would be 1.72xx ?

Hope he chimes in… We need answers!

RT has nothing to do with the timing of the 60 or any other part of the track.

What does r/t have to do with the 60 ft?

Interested to hear more details about your runs skywagon.

I’d be willing to bet you guys that he got on the brakes before he went through the timing lights.

It’s pretty common for people to do at coastal because the timing sensors are after the actual time boards …so people hit their brakes at the boards and short themselves both ET and trap speed.

Damn if sky did run the pump tune with race and spraying it would be just another failed attempt.

Hers to hoping that isn’t the case.

what a strange comment. RT influencing 60"? Gee for the first ever manual B8 S4 in the 11s (according to your ‘friends’) I’d think you’d have a fucking clue what you’re talking about.

1/8 trap low? reality is that his 1/8 MPH is pretty decent. It’s his 1/4 MPH that sucks.

His 330’ time has him on pace for a 12.0 or high 11.9

His 1/8 time has him on pace for a 12.0

His 1/8 trap has him on pace for 114 MPH

So 11.9-12.0 @ 114 MPH somehow got turned into 12.16@110

Very strange. hitting the brakes as euroswagr said would drastically impact trap speed but wouldn’t impact ET all that much. That’s a good guess. But who knows. There are two MAJOR variables at play here

  1. it’s REVO
  2. it’s skypilot

ANYTHING could have happened.

The question is whether he could figure out how to use the program switcher, because that was the intention lol.

He’s still got the giant wheels, 44 psi tires, and extra brake calipers in the trunk.

the wheels and brakes didn’t hurt him where it really counts…from 0-330 feet. So toss that out the window. Once you’re going 60-70 mph weight means next to nothing.

The 60 ft was great, you’d think he’d have a better time. Makes his 12.6 in the summer on pump tune short shifting look pretty decent.

Yeah like his car just slowed down on the back end. Would high IATs cause that?

Not that I have ever seen, not like this.

With meth and cps I can almost guarantee he doesn’t have high iat’s

The only thing that could have happened is that he lifted early which caused him a couple tenths and mph
