ET with and without wheelie.

My car IS A super stock car that since late 2008 has been bracket raced launched off both the foot brake and trans brake. Further it?s also been raced very successfully as a S/ST car, finishing #2 in the division.

So you're going to run SS at the Dutch?

Only #2? The only year that I ran S/ST I won the division and never did it again. I went on to SS the following year where I finished #3 in the Division. SS is hard.

I'd like to apologize to the Real Racers on here if this sounds like bragging. I generally try not to do that.

Billy, you are attempting to brag but failing miserably. Now if you a "real racer" would like to compare racing accomplishments as in money, Wallys and championships won over the last 6 years, I'm game! We got one win that by itself is more $ than you've won in your entire racing career!

Watch where you're going with this Ed. Let's say over the last 40-45 years and let's adjust winnings for inflation and I'm good. In fact, let's make it for our best 10 years just to be fair.
Just one more thing, no "We". This is you and me not you and your son (who is a very fine young Racer) and whoever is parked within 100 yards of you.
OBTW, when we start counting the Wallys, we're not talking about the Wallys that they give away at your local track. We're talking about the Wallys that you win the hard way. And we are talking about YOUR Wallys.

Billy, stay on topic, specifically on my challenge. My son drives, who’s one of the best in the country under 30 and I taught him everything he knows and I prepare my race winning cars that are amongst the best if not the best on the property where ever we race. We’re a great team that’s not easy to beat.

C'mon Billy, I'll bring up some Marvel Mystery to pour down the cylinders of the "Brat" and you'll be good to go to run Super Pro at Numidia next year. Then you can do your own test of wheelie height vs. E.T. change.

[1320racer]

Billy have you owned a car that could wheelie with the back tires? I like it Doug and I’lll line up with him 1st round.

Ed, THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ was your challenge!
Were the last 6 years your best?
I'll compare your best 6 years to my best 6 years Wallys to Wallys, Championships to Championships and Dollar to Dollar adjusted for inflation.

[1320racer]

ok and again, have you owned a car that could/did wheelie with the back tires?

Billy's already commented but I disagree with this concept as I did yesterday. Remember that "all things being equal" part.

If on one run with the same 60 but you run quicker to 330 you're going to have a better ET. How does that happen?

Hard to explain clearly but I've always thought the engine always needs to be ahead of the car. If one sixty resulted in the car dragging on a struggling engine, it's going to be slower to 330. And if during the other, the engine was happy, singing, and bringing the car along with it, it's going to be quicker. Yes, I'm talking about finish line ET being quicker.

I have seen that happen many times on more graphs than I can count.
