Peter get your mind out of the gutter man.

 

Astroglide is like KY Jelly, they use them for lubrication

 

4000 miles away and i got that right LOL That's a good trans to hold that power.

 

Here is another 60-130 graph from a very quick C5 Corvette driven by Rich Branca, Nice run Rich.

7.62 60-130

 

Hi Joe, Thanks, yes I'm still on stock motor.

 

Matt Powell's (lilpowell) 10.44 at 142 run

Thanks for the graph, but I dont think it is mine because the graph shows two shifts, and I am pretty sure I am only shifting once. (and I think I am in third at 60.)

Anyhow, the driftbox did read 7.7 and a 7.9 for me with a few 8.0s.

I just cant hook up with the 305 555rIIs.

 

Actually forgot I had 26.4 diameter tires on back and my limiter was set to 6800 (although for the most part I shift at 6400). Thus, according to a gear calculatur I could in fact pull two shifts if I rode second out longer.

Below are max speeds per gear

1 53
2 75
3 109
4 156
5 186

Also, I should try shifting to third before 60 and see if I quicken up given it would be one less shift and I have the torque to spare.


Also at 6500 rpm I would be about 72 mph in 2d. So graph looks correct. I just dont remeber a 7.6 reading, just a 7.7 not that it matters much.

Anyhow, will be at next event.

 

Ah good. Cause there were no other cars running in the 7's. The pboxes will round up or down. On that file, there was a 7.62 and an 8.03. But the box LED screen read 7.7 and 7.9.

 

Coolness and thanks for the time looking through the graphs.

I'll bring my Ruckus to the next event and we can do 6 to 30s . . .

 

The Texas Mile falls on the next 60-130 event so we won't have one until November.

 

Roger. I think I'm gonna head down to the texas mile, but registartion is closed. So I'll just spectate. See you there.

 

Awesome video Todd thanks for post! did you manage to get my 10.1 pass?

 

I will get with John (owner of the track) to see when it makes sense to do the next 60-130 event...stay tuned.
Peter
