Default VW BUG vs Viper.

as at test and tune last friday trying to figure out how to get my new drag radials to work.

Just as there is at any track, you'll find just about anything at test and tune. Just so happen I lined up against a bright red Viper my first run.

Didn't think I could out run him , but thought I'd try to make it close.

Well it was my lucky day, as the Viper smoked the tires on the line.

Plus he got tree'd, I had a .028 RT and he had a .427 RT. Although his ET was lower, I got the win light!

Slip looks like this-

------ me --------------Viper
rt---- .028---------.427
60---1.810-------- 2.360
330--5.490--------5.891
1/8--8.534--------8.748
mph-81.45--------83.64
1000-11.133------11.136
1/4---13.369------13.105
mph--99.57-------115.93

left 1st .1353


Why I'm I posting this here/ Because when you win a race against a Viper in a four banger you tell everyone

um, the viper still won the 1/4, but the bug won the 1/8th... I wouldn't say the bug smoked the viper but it atleast did better in the 1/8th. Notice that reaction time and 60ft time played a huge part as well.

Yah I know but I still want to tell them but I am going to be only telling a 1/2 truth.

I just want to watch them squirm. You know.
