j_jza80 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 houstonT Guys....on the 238 pass, the chute didn't open, SW went off track at 125+ mph. He is luckily ok but car is pretty torn up. Glad he's ok, and the cars survived. He must have shit himself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 What folks have to realise is that these people are buying customers. You will very rarely (I won't say never) see a customer compete. The traps are unworldly though. Makes you wonder about the limit of land speed if your "average joe" can do 250+ with a 1993 road car.

What the max bhp do you rekon is managable for a street car ? Much above 700-800bhp you start having serious traction problems in the lower gears.

RoyBoy7 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So you and Lee must have loads of fun trying to keep your cars in a straight line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So you and Lee must have loads of fun trying to keep your cars in a straight line I have loads of fun trying to keep my BPU car in a straight line. Those guys takes lots of ££'s of rubber to keep them in a straight line. And even then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Mine is not bad now i have the wider arches and big wheels, Lee's is pretty good an all tbh, the big twins hit in nice and smoothly which helps with traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So you and Lee must have loads of fun trying to keep your cars in a straight line Boost building as you go up the gears helps too, I doubt any of the really big power cars can get 3 bar plus down in 1st 2nd or even 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lover Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) update Orange gallardo just crashed......I'm by the 1/4 but it looks like he caught air and flipped. Speed was 235.2. I hope he's alright Parachute got caught in the rear wheel, got sideways, and it cartwheeled like an olympic gymnast. It's junk, hope everyone is ok.
