Thanks for the time slip 101 video. There is a ton of good info in this video besides just reading the time slip. Why the car isn't really the most critical component of a run, especially for newbies (like me).
As a drag racer from a number of years ago, it amazing what has been added to the time slip. It would have been very helpfully to have all that information as I was racing
I've never even been to a race track. But I'm really hoping to change that. I can't afford a fast car and my 96 Buick Roadmaster sedan will never be fast. Especially with the 2.56 open diff. I just want to be able to drive fast without going to jail. There's only so much you can do on the street
So I ran my challenger srt8 392 agenst a scatpack 392 the only difference between us his is a 2021 and I got the 5 speed and a tune. Howcome I got a slower time down the track but I still won the race? Does the RT count in the compleate time slip?
I'm trying to get better with launching my Challenger SRT8, and am using line lock to do after heating the tires. I've got an electronic plug-in play unit called the burnbox and pop's right into the OBD port, it's one of the most innovative products I've seen for these late model machines.Yeah the 5.7s are good entry-level V8s, but wouldn't put a lot into it and would go at least scat pack if you want to be more serious about drag racing.

275/35/20 Nitto 555 G2 on a 2015 mustang Gt convertible Roush supercharged 670hp. What do you recommend for rear and front tire pressure. Will be my first time at the strip this weekend.
juck huo if you want to slow your reaction time. Depends on the tires. Fronts I easily can take out 10 pounds. I don't like fronts on mine less than 20. Rear, only take out a few pounds.
Depends on the car and tire. Mine has a tendency to spin, and it's lite in the rear, I dropped to 30lbs and it spins less. Look at the tire from the back, is it touching all the way across the tread? Mostly the middle remove pressure. Cupped up in the middle ... Add. You have to drop 5or10 and see if it goes faster. If you drop too far it'll start going slower.
Hi I done a 10.45 @140 on a 1.83 60ft on the next pass I done a 1.52 and broke a rear axel do you know what time that would have been Car is an r32 gtr 5speed manual
Ourlaw, why wheely bars ? hmmm, maybe to stop the car flipping over bcak wards ? reduce the time in the air so to reduce a) aero drag, and b) the time before the front tyres touch again so as to regain steering control. Simple physics says that if you thow a ball up in the air, your input energy is converted to potential energy. When the ball falls, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic as it moves, then to force as you catch it. Energy is never lost. So, when a drag car returns to earth, the lofted potential enegy or the car is converted back to kinetic energy and hence additional forward rotational torque on the tyres as the car rotates forward. Energy is never lost.
What ever energy you are producing depending how you apply in drag racing will produce different results. Allowing the car to lift the front end, you are inherently not "losing energy" but more like misusing it to accelerate the car at a unwanted angle which "missuses" more energy at lifting the car then moving it forward. That same energy should be correctly used to accelerate the car at a horizontal angle hence reducing the elapse time during your race. Wheelie Bars have many pros, its main goal however is keeping the car down or angle of elevation at a optimal level so it can use all of its power/energy for forward, not upwards acceleration.
Orbelis: When the car rotates upwards, the some of the rotational torque on the tyres that whould have converted to linear forward force, is being conveted to 'potential' energy against the force of gravity. Much like when you raise your car on a hoist, you have converted the linear force of the hoist to increased potential energy od the mass of the car whilst it is sitting there. You would be come aware of this potential energy shpipd the hoist fail and the car fall on you. When the drag car falls forward back to the track, the faĺling and rotating forward motion of tye car converts this newly added potential energy to additional forward rotational torque on the tyres and hence the car is propelled forward faster. No engine energy is lost overall, some is converted to potential energy to make the wheel stand, and is converted back to forward motive force (the good stuff) when the car falls back to earth. Infact, a wheel stand may help stop the drag car from breaking traction for two reasons; a) some of the excesive torque to temporarily diverted away from the tyres, and b) maximum downward force is applied to the rear tyres.
Pretty sad this video isnt getting a lot of views. Very good video
Right? Thanks for viewing. Please share!
This is a great video just getting my daughter into a car very well spoken thank you very much

really good tutorial mate. Just starting out in drag racing and need as much info as I can get.
So much value indeed here! th-cam.com/video/kX7IQnJKAJ0/w-d-xo.html
How are you doing on the strip?
New to drag strip, took my car out just to see what it can do
Thanks for all the knowledge!!!
As a drag racer from a number of years ago, it amazing what has been added to the time slip. It would have been very helpfully to have all that information as I was racing
I really learned a lot about drag racing!!
Great videos 1 & 2!!!
Great info. I’m planning on going out for my first time this weekend!
Thanks for the info!!! I learned a lot!!!!!!! ❤

Awesome video, keep it up!
Glad to see you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Good stuff. Going to bring my laptop and cable to next event and see if tweaking the torque management will help. It was only setup on the dyno.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Very good video thanks
Great video bro!
So I ran my challenger srt8 392 agenst a scatpack 392 the only difference between us his is a 2021 and I got the 5 speed and a tune. Howcome I got a slower time down the track but I still won the race? Does the RT count in the compleate time slip?
That R/T still can’t beat my stock M3 lol
Very professional explanation. Thanks for the video
M3 is like $30,000 more
This guy must get 0 pussy.
Just getting started on the drag scene in a subaru.any other tips?
It may not be lost but it does absolutely slow you down.
Thank you :):)
Not a problem :D

So whats your question? Just sound like a bit of rambling.
On in the Hell can this get any "thumbs down"?....This video as well as Part 1 are Excellent videos!!......Well done.....
Thanks for watching!
Nice
275/35/20 Nitto 555 G2 on a 2015 mustang Gt convertible Roush supercharged 670hp. What do you recommend for rear and front tire pressure. Will be my first time at the strip this weekend.
Would it be possible to launch a 2001 BMW 330xi awd? Or would that rip the transfer case out?
How would you launch it if possible
Why burnout on street tires?
Just covering all the possibilities
Is this Cooper Bogetti's dad? 😳
should you run lower psi in street tires? If so how low can you go safely?

Your Charger is a bike? 9:23
Hi
I done a 10.45 @140 on a 1.83 60ft on the next pass I done a 1.52 and broke a rear axel do you know what time that would have been
Car is an r32 gtr 5speed manual
2 seconds
Well, if it doubles, that could’ve been a 9.8sec 1/4 mile
💪🏾👍🏾
Music outrageously loud!!!
I LIKE TO COMPLAIN!!!
Great information but blah blah blah blah blah I love lifting the wheels sorry I'm not listening to that tip LoL
Wheelstand energy is returned to the system when the car comes down, this energy is not lost.
Why do you think they run wheelie bars for?
Ourlaw, why wheely bars ? hmmm, maybe to stop the car flipping over bcak wards ? reduce the time in the air so to reduce a) aero drag, and b) the time before the front tyres touch again so as to regain steering control.
