Last night at the track my 86 GT was putting down some good times in the 1/8th 6.33 and 6.36 @ 109, limped on to 10.1 in 1/4. I decided to make a run at less than 10 in the 1/4 so I dialed in a little more timing and made a strong burn out, and footbraked it as hard as I could, WOW did I get a surprise on the start, before I could let off the front tires were 4 feet off the ground. We got it on video tape, this next weekend I will try to get it converted to digital and see if I can get it on here for you to see.
Yeah, I thought I was going onto the roof.

Vid added today.
What is on the video;
1) some footage of the engine running
2) exhaust and loping sound at idle
3) daytime run with view from front of car that shows drivers wheel is 1 1/2 foot off ground and passenger wheel is just up. Normal start.
4) night time burnout and then Wheel stand, it is from a different view point, part of the wheels are hidden by the barrier, the passenger wheel is up about 2 1/2 to 3 ft, the drivers side was up 4 ft.

instead of try to get pics/video up, how about You WILL get pics up


i want to see!!!

 

I will, I am out of town right now but when I get back, I will convert and get it up. I watched the video last night after I got home, it's pretty wild. The car will normally lift the drivers tire about a foot and the passenger just a few inches, so I was quite surprised when I could only see the sky.

 

You footbraked it and it pulled the front tires 4 feet. is this all motor or nos supercharger or what. I got to see this never seen that with out a trans brake.

 

NOVI 2000 supercharger. Foot brake only, I do not have a trans brake. I got a lot of attention in the pits after that run.

 

VERY NICE DUDE. and youre running 6's in the 1/4 or 1/8th ???

 

1/8th (6.33) I don't know if my heart could take 6's in the 1/4. My new torque converter needs to be tightened up a bit to hold in high gear. Right now the 1/4 time is 10.11 but should come down to 9.7 or so when we get the converter to hold in high gear. With the converter slipping we are only gaining 15 mph in the second 1/8th while at rev limiter.

 

Have you gotten that video for all of us to see you doing it?

 

dude, you gotta get some videos up on that!!!! SWEET!!!

 

I have the video on tape. So you will get to see it. Problem right now is I did not get in from the Drag Strip until late Sunday night and had to fly out at 6:30 AM on Monday. I will get back in town on Friday and get the video converted to digital and get it up.
