Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Our car would only run fast like this. I’m not getting into any arguments with anyone. We tried it several times, it would not run fast tied down period. That’s a fact.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

AGAIN, for those that don't understand how the timing system works and we know there are many here, just ask them how autostart works :D and for those that failed basic math...

if you get to the 60 foot clocks slower and you WILL, breaking the beam with any part of the car behind the front tires no mind the back tires, you WILL run a slower ET!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Wrong!

Explain these two runs

Run 1
1.349 60 foot Small wheelie
4.053 330 foot
6.390 660 foot
104.78 660 mph



Run 2
1.458 60 foot Big wheelie rear wheel 60'
4.049 330 foot
6.388 660 foot
104.49 660 mph




REAL world proof that A BIGGER WHEELIE DOES NOT SLOW YOU DOWN!!!!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Great thread.

Of course Ed is providing his bombastic rhetoric, but that's him. He does know his stuff though.

Would it not be cool if Warren Johnson would provide his knowledge on technical subjects like these.

Also Herb McCandless has endless information to share and I wish he would.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

you're wrong and CLUELESS!

I believe NOTHING on read on the forums and half of what I see with my own eyes!

You can't defy physics nor how the timing system works!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Ty but there's no denying that, the Proof is in the Performance!

I get it, some like me and my son like wheelies and others can't hook without wheelieing to which I say, your car needs work but neither are the topic of this discussion.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Lol :) I ran the car last weekend you can go to world wide tech raceway app and find exactly what I typed car number is 5664 what don't you like about the FACTS LOL LOL

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Malarkey not FACTS!

I KNOW that...

if you get to the 60 foot clocks slower and you WILL, breaking the beam with any part of the car behind the front tires no mind the back tires, you WILL run a slower ET!

That statement is indisputable and FACT!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I don't go through the traps with rear wheels just the 60' lol

Okay you win ;)

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I do, got the big checks and Wallys to prove it!:p
