Thread: 2013 Drag Racing Smack Talk Thread!

Lol I love the shit talking!

Its all in good fun. Its fun to see the N/A boys putting up a good fight though. This year will be interesting. Hopefully at least one of the turbo guys will post up the fastest time as to not let the n/a guys take the quickest time this year. Just think of it, had I not been at last years convention, Jamie would have taken home that fastest FWD SR trophy....an N/A guy. lol

Please dont let that happen this year guys. I will be ashamed if that happens.

and at the end of the day....its still a sentra

i will be talking shit at the track so if you cant handle it stay away. shame you couldnt make it ashton but im sure your wife will accept my invite

Don't understand why having the highest trap speed is something to talk about if you don't have the quickest time. It really mind boggles me. I am sure if Mazworx or Ghettomax1 didn't care about putting to the ground like they did, they'd trap higher than you did...they weren't that far off. As a matter of fact, if you matched their time, you trap speed would have been lower. IJS.

No it wouldnt have, trap speed comes strictly from power. Not to mention even on the 149.2 mph pass, I wasted the first 2 1/2 seconds of the run bogging and babying it through 1st. A good full out pass it would have trapped around 155mph as the car was. Easily, no questions asked. You waste time, your trap speed will be lower. Only for an n/a car does the spinning off the line result in a higher trap speed.

I have already proven this with my own car when I had the 60 trim turbo setup. First passes i had the slick pressure way too high and spun pretty much all the way down the track and trapped 126-127, lowered the slick pressure and got better traction still spinning through 1st and 2nd but not 3rd and 4th and went 132mph, no changes to anything other than more traction and a better launch.

Only in the n/a field does that higher trap with spinning apply.

Trap speed is pure power. Ghettomax's car was making about 600whp and his 140-141 trap speed represented that. He had a 9.90 pass because he had full on great run. A 9 second pass at that low of a trap speed means great 60ft and no spinning.

Put it this way, on the pass against Jamie at the convention, had I had the 330 ft from the 2nd pass against the muscle car, my car could have easily gone 9.7-9.8 @153-155mph on that pass. Just going off the slips, my 330ft alone on the 2nd pass was right at 1/2 a second quicker than the pass against jamie

Also, having the highest trap speed is still something to be proud of. Just means more seat time and dialing in and the quickest time will come.

12.6@128 Jesus, what is that like a 3 sec 60'...lmao. Went 12.8@107 on 9psi last year...

all i hear is should of could of would of

excuses are like assholes everyone has them and they all stink

i will be pleased to be in the 12s driving my car out there and back with an open downpipe will be the real challenge

Not making excuses, point is all it would have taken to get that quickest time was more seat time and dialing in of the car. Wasnt going to happen at dragway 42 for one. The first 60ft was prepped good but the rest sucked. Summit was a whole different ballgame. Wish I could have gotten more passes there.

All this armchair QB talk...

P.S. Ghettomax trapped a little over 145 mph......50 yrs ago.
