Burnout Box Tips

[1fstGSR]

I hate to say this but you have to rev it higher or shift into 2nd (dont recommend this) to get the tire speed higher than the coefficient of friction between the track surface and the tire so it cant grip.

At about 7500-7800 I had no problem not creeping forward more like going sideways because of the gyro forces being generated.

Also make sure the tires have enough water on them. If they are too dry you will hook up immediately like you are doing right now.

Hmm you bring up a good point.. perhaps I should use my 2-step rev limiter during the burn out as well since I'm launching at 7500rpms, i can just maintain that RPM through the burn out too..

Ok, I have a question.

Running 13x8 Bogarts with 24.5x8x13 M/T's and with ~300whp/~250ft/lb of TQ, when I do a burn out, I can't stay in the damn box long enough to warm up the tires!!

I pull the ebrake up a far as it will go, dump the clutch at like 6-7k and after about 3-4seconds, the car pulls itself forward and out of the box!!!

My question is, how do you stay put and not pull forward?

I sometimes spin the slicks real quick in the water, that way they are all wet when I start my burnout, at my track they wont let me burn in the water, I assume it is like that everywhere... also some people jerk the steering wheel left to right to keep the tires from hooking...

why do you think that they are not getting heated enough?

when I do my burnout, the car stands still for a couple seconds, then it pulls forward.. that is when I stop.. I assumed that the tires were getting hot/sticky enough, and that is why they start to pull me forward? who knows... I get 1.7 60 ft. times in a full interior 2700 lb integra with open diff... I dont think it could get much better than that in a full street car... maybee with a quaife...

good luck!

12sec... where do you launch at? (RPM wise)

Drive it like you stole it.
If it isn't broken, fix it till it is.

I launch between 7000-8000... usualy closer to 8 than 7... this may not be ideal, because the slicks spin, but the car shoots away like crazy... anyt lower launches on my car and it seems to bogg...

Any broken axles?

3G-Teg,

What kind of e.t's did you pull at the track?

Will,

How are you? Have not seen your post in a while. Your car running good? Keep me up to date?

I was running [email protected] on the busted motor.

You can see one of the runs on C-SPEED in the media section:

We were only running on 3.5 cylinders that day, what a pain in the arse!! argh.
