Default My Car's Drag Race Videos From Last Weekend

My car's drag races at Cherokee Dragway during Corsa America Rally - Dragon 2017:

RedGutz's drag races at Cherokee:






DA was 2457 feet and strip was a a poorly prepped 1/8 mile. Car was the only car on the rally to be in the 6s in the 1/8 mile.

No idea with a quarter-mile time as I haven't run it yet. The car is simply too powerful for pilot super sports in the rear. It was just overwhelming them and spinning spinning spinning. Needs the rear R888s to get all the performance out

I did but I wasn't mixing tires on a tail of the Dragon twisty roads rally. This dragstrip event was a small part of three days of driving most of which was on twisty roads

Thanks for posting. I guess a little less power at the start should actually improve your results.

The two things that improved my results R888s and race gas

When I put on the R888s at a subsequent event I had no wheelspin from launch on an unprepared runway. And race gas.

Check out the videos on my YouTube channel when I added those two things at a runway event
