Two vids: one burnout and "ass waxing" from my friend's 10 sec Chevelle and in car 1/4 mile run :) [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESiM1nB5cw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESiM1nB5cw[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DiY6Qz7zzo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DiY6Qz7zzo[/ame]
Can certainly hear you feathering the throttle to avoid roasting the tyres as you leave the line!
that exhaust system you have fitted sounds fantastic :)
[quote=richiemat;235348]that exhaust system you have fitted sounds fantastic :)[/quote] Its really subtle (despite single box) until you get into boost mode- then it sounds awesome!
cool vdeos dude. what times did you run?!
Just what I was gonna ask?
[quote=mk3phill;235362]cool vdeos dude. what times did you run?![/quote] Thanks matey :) go there every month now in an attempt to get further than round 2 in the brackets! Check this thread for times: http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22719
Very entertaining my friend and many thanks for posting the links. That V8 monster looks incredibly quick!!
very nice rolling burn-out there sir, i'm surprised they have the water box so far away from the strip tho. My bro almost ran over a marshal doing his burn-out at the Easter thunderball, his run was following Mark in the Vanarchy van who loves doing silly burn-outs where no-one can see a thing. My bro sat in the box waiting for the smoke to clear but the race director got stroppy & pointed him on, he went for it doing a rolling burn-out to the line & luckily just spotted the bloke sweeping the line thru the fog, managed to stop in time & just miss him :eek:

So it's not a prepped strip like Pod or Avon Park.

I've seen the Vanarchy van on youtube- brilliant burn outs! I need slicks and a line lock as my F1s are losing quite alot of tread on a monthly basis :mischievo

I normally just drive thru the water box & spin upto the line to clean & stones off them. Bitburg must be nice piece of tarmac tho to be getting such good times

I need slicks and a line lock as my F1s are losing quite alot of tread on a monthly basis :mischievoyou don't need a line-lock on FWD, just keep the handbrake on & floor it lol. Mark (Vanarchy) uses Toyo tyres on his race bus & they've lasted surprisingly well

LOL Still did a 15.5@91mph hahaha what a divvy eh?!

[quote=p fandango;235445]ah i don't believe you wanted to do that, slicks on the front flatspots on the back lol[/quote] It wasn't one of my finer moments! Still, 15.5 with the handbrake on is quite good lol
