New Best 60' and ET!

[Little G]

R/T .045
60' 1.829
330 5.558
1/8 8.683
MPH 78.16
990 11.321
1/4 13.686
MPH 98.90

On previous runs, I was able to a get 60' of 1.823. I'm told by spectators that there was some wheelspin, so I'll be installing LCA relo brackets shortly. I also have more weight reduction planned. I am now .012 seconds away from Magnus' N/A V6 run and .032 from Seppo's. So close I can taste it. We'll see in the fall how it runs since I'll be in more favorable conditions (read mineshaft).

:shock: i gotta get my **** together....congrats!

Congrats!

noice!

[skorpion317]

good job craig!

[IROCdan330]

Along with the wheel spin...Craig damn near lifted both front tires off the ground. We are thinking that his front left did jump off, but only the camera man at atco would know for sure. Ive got a picture of one of craig's launches on my phone, and the passenger side is definitely unloaded. I've also got partial video, again on my phone, of his 13.68 run. He was gone.

[SteveR]

Those were some nice runs last night :D On your 13.68 run you definately spun off the line and got the nose up. Congrats!

[foff667]

congrats :)

[Tru2Chevy]

Congrats again Craig!

::waits impatiently for Dave to upload photos to his website::

Way to go Craig, good for you! I think you might have some competition when Matt gets his motor back tho. Best of luck

[LS1LT1]

Awesome job man, I just saw it in the timeslip thread (someone please update our times :D) and was like :shock: :cheers: 8)

[bad64chevelle]

Nice times man!

hey justin post up when dave updates pics!

[Fastbird]

Craig, I've got video of your runs, all be it inadvertantly. You ran my buddy in his 95 Z28 something like 3 times in a row. I was rolling watching you leave him on the line. Nice runs out there man!

It's not the best video, came from an 8.0mP Nikon Coolpix digital camera, but it's pretty freaking good for what it is.

Steve, you parked two spots over from my Lincoln outside the gate yesterday. I just never managed to see you anywhere.

I'll do that, but they're LARGE files. I'm going to try to make them a .WMV and make the file size smaller first. They're in a .mov format and about 18 Megs each right now.

Doesn't bother me any - we have 20GB of storage, so only the dial up people will be upset by it.

Yeah, but it would bother Comcast. You can only send 10Mb per email. I'll resize it tonight and send it to ya.

[NJSPEEDER]

great job craig. back to working on traction again, i can't wait...or is that can't weight? whatever. hehe

later

[Fastbird]

Vid sent. I only had one good one of Craig running, and I didn't get his entire launch. The other vid of him that I had missed the last 2 seconds of the run.

[badzracing]

Craig, do I get no thanks for the inspiration I provided? Jeez man... for those who don't know, I raced Craig on his new best time pass. And for the record it was a damn good race.

[IROCdan330]

that was a solid run for you as well...i called your Dad's shop today too. :D

just like you had said...with those r/ts you guys both pulled you should be bracket racing...i guess you both knew you had some competition.

[Fasterthanyou]

<-- runs over to his folder full of his old time slips and checks violently to make certain Craig hasn't beatin his best... oh the shame if he does :wink:

Awesome work now give it a rest and work on the weight reduction and exhaust :) . I pity your drivetrain. BTW, Carbonfiber driveshaft and aluminum flywheel = more horsepower = faster mph but might hurt your launch. It's a catch 22 but I believe there is an 80% chance that the reduced inertia for the launch will be offset by the extra 330' and beyond horsepower that'll be freed up. You're sure to beat those records.

how much lighter is the CF DS over the aluminum he has now though? And dont they start at like $700? cost vs. benefit eh...would be a good experiment but not one that would cost over a grand in the end imo.

They are about 700, and they weigh 6.5-7lbs. The aluminum one weighs 11lbs. I've seen them for sale on CZ28.com for $350 or $400 before.

- Justin

[Fastbird]

I had a CF driveshaft for about a year, just never got around to getting a new rear or a Yoke adapter to install it. Bought for $400, sold for $400.

That thing was L-I-G-H-T.

Tru2Chevy, did you get the vid?

[Tru2Chevy]

I did get the video, I'll have it hosted when I get home from work.

Pics are up: http://www.davemilcarek.com/053105/

# 4, 35, 36, 142 - no good launch shots this time, but the rear angle looks pretty cool. Looks like the last one he shot just a fraction too early (or you could say Craig left too late). See the lights changing?

- Justin

[IROCdan330]

I'd say he hit it too early because on all of Craig's launches that tire might have been an inch off the ground...and his r/ts were great.

thanks for posting that website Justin...I'm looking back at the previous dates and I found a few of the last time i raced...theres a good one of craig vs. me staging.

[Fasterthanyou]

Bill, when we're talking about a few hundreth of a second, sometimes all it takes is a $700 part :) . I agree completely, it's definatly not cost effective when looking for bang for the buck. Then again how much has he spent all in all to get to where he is now when an LS1 stock would have... point being cost is all relative to the goal, not the small gains. Just like gears might cost $600 to get and have installed which will gain you 2 tenths with a stock car but as you get faster it might be worth 4-8 tenths. Same goes for the carbon fiber driveshaft and aluminum flywheel. Those too parts are the best of the best. The only trade off being the cost. When you want to go fast, sometimes you have to pay for it. I think it would be worth the investment to get an aluminum flywheel. The CF driveshaft is down the road but not that far down if he's chasing a n/a v6 record.

[foff667]

eh...aluminum flywheel ok...do you think hes gonna keep that 5 speed too much longer? I would assume at some point he'll go to either an auto or 6 speed whether thats a t56 or a properly geared richmond to take advantage of the powerband better which he'd need a new ds for because i belive the 5 speed is a few inches shorter...just a thought...and like I said going from 12lbs to 8-9 or whatever a CF DS weighs isnt that much even with it being rotating mass...i didnt gain anything on the dyno going from my steely to the aluminum one fwiw :shrug:

rockers.....go.....do it

i say he doesn the short system exhaust first, run it, headers, run it, then whatever...

The car is more plastic than metal - if you acid dip it, there won't be anything left.

He has said before that he plans to stick with the M5 at least until some sort of forced induction comes into play.

Craig, shoulda come out thursday. I ended up running my best time ever and then a lifter collapsed on the next pass... I went 13.20 @ 103.4...next time you see me there I'll have the 6.0 in :twisted:

did anyone save these vids?

g

[79CamaroDiva]

wow.. holy time warp batman!! I was just about to move this to the Drag Racing forum.. then I saw its been here for almost 3 years, who am I to move it? :lol:


btw, no vids. sorry.

[Savage_Messiah]

did anyone save these vids?

did anyone save the car?......

[Tru2Chevy]

did anyone save the car?......

TTP did ;)

- Justin

[12secondv6]

I probably have the vid's saved on my puter...... although.... it is packed away in storage.

Once it is out, I will check and send you any of them.

What has TTP done w/ the car?

[Little G]

I don't know much. All I know is that it will no longer be a V6 car.

[Teds89IROC]

oh wow TTP has it, interesting

[Savage_Messiah]

that's a ****ing shame
