11.72 @ 115mph tonight on motor. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71Dragtruck · 05-13-2006, 03:07 AM

Went a bit faster tonight, still no track prep but hooking not too bad with a bigger burnout. Ran 11.72 @ 115mph made about 4 runs in the 11.7?'s need a bigger carb as it is lying down a bit at the top end, and a taller tire cause I'm going through a 6200rpm. Passenger side tire is getting a bit of outer rub so have to get a stiffer spring for the pasenger side, or some adjustable shocks. 10's will be easy on a little bit of spray. July the roll bar goes in.

Here is a video from last Fri, just to show you some of the cars and how hard it is to run 11's at our track. The black 440 Challenger shown is Pro-Charged, he was running 11.8's tonight.

Not trying to make excuses, but even people I know from here that read muscle mags and watch drag racing on TV don't realize it's harder than it looks when NOT at a GOOD track at near sea level. I get the you have 640hp and that's all you run?? I saw a magazine with a bla bla bla. So just venting cause of the narrow minded, I feel better now, my meds are kicking in.

Sorry you guys have to be subjected to this.

Great Job. That is sweet. Now share the meds

4x4Poet · 05-13-2006, 03:16 AM

Whoa!

That's some consistent times, too. I'd view the video, but dialup sucks.

TugOwar · 05-13-2006, 09:09 AM

I'll see what I can do?? I don't really own the equip. to capture it for digital use. The video posted is from just guys that were at the track that night.

71DRAGTRUCK,

Who is doing your videoing? I can not even get 30 seconds of video to download without saying it is to big. I need to see how to adjust it so I can get some video uploaded.

Thanks

I don't even know the kids name, he just posted it up on streetfire.net and put a link on our local drag race forum. The stuff my nephew shot with my camera isn't digital and the other is just a regular digital camera in video mode ( very poor quality ). Try uploading it on www.streetfire.net and then link it.

I just checked the site and you can go up to 150mb upload, looking forward to some video. I checked to see if anybody linked some footage from last night, but nothing there yet.

Awesome

bigjimzlll · 05-13-2006, 10:53 PM

Great job...your preaching to the choir about running on tuff tracks...my track averages about 4000'DA at 110 degrees. My truck today ran 11.5 at 114mph. It will go 11.00 at 118 on a decent day/track

Jerry Jones · 05-14-2006, 11:20 AM

very respectable runs

**dennislbrooks** · 05-14-2006, 11:35 AM
