I heard that ZPI is making Travis a true Flux Capacitor......all his trap speeds are gonna be 88 MPH, but his time slips will all read 1 or 2 seconds (depending on how good his launch is)

Not just 12's, that's a Mid 12 sec Trap Speed.....

Fudge I need the Traction to put it down.

This was only on 10 PSI by the way. Clutch could not hold any more PSI after it got heat soaked.

I started to drop in ET times. When I hit the 13.5. I believe it was after that run that the clutch was feeling the effects, as I started to go back up in ET from when I started.

When I get the vids uploaded, you will see the run where I stopped at the Stagging lane and sat there, because it was stuck in gear. You will see (have to look close cause it was night time), during the burnout, No wheels were spinning. Just smoking the clutch.

I can not remember exactly which runs were pre heat soak, as At Beech Bend, it's so dead there, you can get in 30+ runs in if you wanted to before the track closed. Don't know to many tracks where you can run that many times.

I had to have ran at least 10 times straight without stopping for a break.

but i'll settle for beating him his best times with a stage 1 kit versus whatever stage 1 kit i choose. that is victory enough for me because lets face it, you can't be faster than everybody or atleast not for very long.

Yeah, but I'm slow though....

I need the right tire setup to be faster. Either that or just some actually NEW BFG's....

When I say they were worn out, I'm not exaggerating. I will upload a pic of them later (possibly tomorrow). Cause today after work....

ZPI Race Clutch + ZPI Flywheel has to be picked up.

Kenny did mention having a proto type Triple Disk one.... But SHhhhhh....Don't Tell Nobody..

The funny thing is, 8 out of the 10 or so runs I did....I kept MONKING up the Freakin launch! The video shows me hitting first, and the car taking a nose dive because I held it to long, and then a (what seems like eternity in drag racing) pause between 1st and 2nd gear. After that, I shift like a Bat out of Hell!

Even Louis had a better reaction time than I was. Damn Stage 0 was kickin azz and takin names.

Louis is on a Stock exhaust and clutch by the way, and he was putting 2-3 car lengths on Eric's (our friend) S2k Every race. And I inturn would put about 3-4 on him.

^^still on the camera...lol.

I can't upload those while at work. You will have to wait on those till I get back from KY with the new clutch/flywheel.


By the way....there was some Full out drag Stang running 7.4 in the 1/4.

A couple of Fox Body Mustangs running like 15secs...

No thats incorrect it was Cuck Norris and Jack Bauer fighting. It turned out to be a draw until Travis came racing thru and ran them both over. Then Jack Bauer proceeded to send a Travis a gift for doing a good job but before he even dropped it off to be mailed off Travis already recieved it and sent it him back to him with destoryed with a big F OFF sign taped to it. Hence how the whole Chuck Norris Jack Bauer and Travis War started.
