damn......i thought Ob was just playing about the "nothing done to the motor".....he wasnt......wuts your fastest time Roundman ? give Ob some slicks, and he MIGHT be able to beat you......but, i wouldnt stake my life on it. youd get the holeshot REAL GOOD. i wanna c u 2 race sometime if ever possible

roundman

best time so far is a 13.533 sec ET in good air earlier this spring. If OB was to run slicks, he could probably run quicker than that without the nitrous, but he keeps making excuses about not being able to run slicks or something. I do agree that I would probably get the holeshot off the line because I have been racing for over 10 years now, and experience at the tree definitely is one advantage I would have over OB. I would love to race him sometime, but it probably will never happen as he is up in the New England area and I'm down here in central Virginia and neither one of us is willing to travel that far for a mano a mano race. Ha, ha, ha
In the meantime, we can still trash talk with each other on the forum until one of us proves to be quicker and faster than the other!

oh definitely.....and im only a couple hrs away from you Roundman....i might have to hunt you down sometime when i get some work done to my car. then Ob can TRY to take the winner. haha

I already am faster

13.2@111mph..........

And slicks take nearly a second off your time So I Hear.
so a 13.9 with my old setup(no nitrous and less mods)@102 would Cream Him!

But Slicks=Traction=Boom goes the Tranny.

there's no way that slicks can take 1 full second off your ET unless you flat out don't know how to drive at all with street tires.
so you can quit dreaming about already being quicker than me without the bottle. I will grant that you are faster (mph) but not quicker (ET).[sm=nothatway.gif]
and SLICKS=TRACTION=BOOM GOES THE TRANNY AIN'T NECESSARILY TRUE EITHER.[sm=trust_me.gif]
you could just as easily snap an axle or break a U-joint on the driveshaft![sm=noooo.gif]
If you don't break something, you ain't trying hard enough![sm=exactly.gif]
