stock stall is 1800 with a 2.0 STR
this is a midwest 1600 with a 1.7 STR
it is gonna pull good 70+ but at the track it is gonna be worthless. hoping to get a 2.0 60 ft, this car is goona be a turd outta the hole. hopefully i am wrong. in the next 6 months i hope to have a better converter in there -
I'd rather auto-x in St. Cloud, IMHO WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY more fun than driving in a straight line all the damn time. I might make it for the sunday event though

Like I said before, I have almost no interest in drag racing anymore. I might make a couple passes this year, but not too concerned about running anything special...a 13 is fine
-
nope, no real intentions to either...
-
by that I mean not going out of my way to do it...if I have nothing else going on and the stars line up perfectly.....maybe

why would you spend time drivin to do something meaningless to everybody that wasnt there rather then do something 5 minutes away that you can tell somebody in like cali or somewhere.
draggin>auto-x.
-
Why do you have the parts you do on your car then? Don't you have a decent size turbo and stuff that would not be ideal to road racing? I think you should race!!
Let's see, automatic transmission, high stall converter, AWD, big turbo...
Sounds like a car built for drag racing!!! hahaha. -

I am disliking dragracing for the same reasons so many people love it...its repetitive. Line up, stage, rev, launch, drive straight, apply brakes, turn off to return road, go to pits, wait 30 minutes, repeat... I'd rather lose at auto-x than win at dragracing. At least there I feel like I'm trying to do something with my car. Who cares about bragging rights, there's always gonna be someone faster and even w/ 1/4 mile racing you will have people arguing well you were at sea level and I was at 1679 feet above sea level, thats not a fair apples to apples comparison. It takes more talent in my opinion to win consistantly in autocross than it does in drag racing. Thats not taking anything away from drags though, the cars that do it are amazing as well. Its a whole different game and to compare the two is like trying to compare Wheels to Smoke Detectors.

I'm kinda notorious for that I had a pedal bike that was built for freestyle but then decided I wanted to run BMX a few times. Had a car built for SPL then decided to go SQ.

I think I'm going to try to make one of the days if I can sneak away from work for the day.
