just need to vent

[emolineaux]

well the other night i took my car to atco with some friends and on top of not being able to hook i was only running a 13.1 -13.2 at 110-109mph. i know the car is alot faster then that i just figured it wasnt my night. i came home and pulled the car in the garage. well today i pulled it out to give it a bath since it was nice out and what do i notice the dang floormat was all bunched up underneath the gas pedal! wth! lol guess i have to go back with no floormats to stop the pedal from going all the way to the floor.

[Mike]

i am surprised you didnt notice, it had to be effecting the clutch pedal as well

[sweetbmxrider]

you suck at teh cars

[emolineaux]

na i was expecting at least mid 12s and mike it wasnt messing with the clutch pedal it was bunched up all under the gas pedal. it was enough for me to really not notice it much but who the hell knows. i dont drive the car much any more let alone taking it to the track.

i wouldnt say that your too far off your mark. i wouldnt think the floormats did anything really. if you got the 60'' time down to a 1.9 youd end up putting down a 12.8 or so with that mph. play with the tire pressure yo :nod:

[emolineaux]

sumitomo street tires on 20psi with a little burnout lol i am picking up some drag radials this winter

[69BirdX]

Yea if you can pull a 1.9 or 1.8. You would be in mid to high 12s. Seems like your on

[BigAls87Z28]

110mph, thats a mid to high 12 easy.
And if that floor mat stopped you, figure another few mph...so a solid mid 12's, maybe even low 12's if you hook better.

[JL8Jeff]

I've had the stupid floormat get curled up under the gas pedal a few times in normal driving and it surprised me when I went to pull out and there wasn't much acceleration. :lol: I know that has happened to quite a few people over the years with the 4th gen cars. Maybe it should be a sticky in the drag racing section. :nod:

[sweetbmxrider]

and yet, the toyota owners are !themselves

[Nitr0racing21]

if you were driving a toyota that floor mat coulda killed you.....

[LTb1ow]

So pictures of "floormat"?

[sweetbmxrider]

Pics or gtfo

[emolineaux]

the 13 second floormat is back in place

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a158/jankenson/0724081726.jpg

[1QWIKBIRD]

Why are the floormats even in the car while racing? I thought all loose items have to be removed? Not bustin your nuts in particular, but I thought that was pretty much a no no, for the reason you just experienced, but imagine its the brake pedal on the big end????? At the very least the mat should be moved to the passenger side.

Chris

[emolineaux]

yea chris i know lol. but this was my first time to the track in like a year. last time i went the car was bone stock. this was the first time out and i just wasnt thinking because i dont do it often because i am always working.

[NastyEllEssWon]

lol no offense man but who set the ebrake on ''dildo''




:rofl: adjust that up

[Iroc-z86]

well at least the floor mat didnt keep the gas petal down and cause a crash. :)

[WildBillyT]

Actually it's not that uncommon. I haven't done it, but my buddy Mike did in his old Monte Carlo. 3/4 throttle FTL.
