Ok this was my very first experience with the drag strip. It is in Greer SC its a 1/8 mile track. I absolutely had a blast. Here are pictures of the Time slips Mine and their times. Very hard to read.

top pic is my 3 times in order the second pic is the losers time's.

Here you can watch the vids. http://www.clubtitan.org/downloads/titanvscivic.wmv

My reactions are terrible as you can see but the power in the Titan still pulled off the wins.

Wow!! I knew you could do it!!
Way to go..
I'm all smiles baby!!

I had a great time. You never seen so many rednecks upset. LOL. I had people coming over asking me what was in it and was it modded. How did you beat a Hemi. It was really really fun. I cant wait till next year now. I cant believe I never did this before. I will really work on my launch next year. What I got a kick out of was at the end of the race with the civic you hear some people in the back go OHH when the time posts. LOL

I've got A new name for you M4ck..
HEMI-ETR ....

Try that one on for size!!!!
Did his face look like this when he lost 8O

 

[JetTech]

that is too cool m4ck!! One of these days I need to come up there and join you in the hemi thrashing!!

 

[M4ck]

Definately Dale I believe they open back up in Feb. I just did make the last night. Wish I had gone before now. I fell in love with it. Now all I'm thinking about is how can I make it quicker.

 

[JetTech]

was that a 2WD hemi?

 

[M4ck]

yeh both of us were 2wd

 

[JetTech]

did he have any noticeable mods like exhaust or was it 100% stock?

I can't tell by the tape, what kind of distance did you have on him? Was he pullin on you at the end? I think the Titan would have a big advantage on the 1/8 mile run with the power/torque curve we have.

Looked like a lot of fun! You definitely finished well. I agree with you about your start reaction time needing pratice. That Civic got a big jump on you but you showed him. I love how the Titans speed is incognito. So what were you doing to launch off the line, what RPMs, did you spin the tires?

At the end I was about 3/4 truck length ahead of him. I was pulling away faster at the end though. Maybe it has to do with the exhaust and intake mods I have. I feel like my top end is better than it used to be before mods. I think with another 1/8 mile I would have had him by 1 1/2 truck lengths. Just a guess though.

So what were you doing to launch off the line, what RPMs, did you spin the tires?.

I did not spin I was trying to be careful of that. I made a concious effort to push the peddle about 3/4 off the line then FLOOR IT. Launched at 1500 rpm.

Way to go, Baby!! Wish I could've been there I have a feeling I know where we will be spending our Thursday nights come next season!!

By the way, do yall hear the little girl in the background?? That would be the world's most GORGEOUS little girl, my niece, Kayla (Okay, I'm a bit prejudiced ) She's only 8-years-old, and normally hates the drag strip because it's loud, but when she saw Uncle Josh was going, she flipped out when her Dad left her at home, so his girlfriend had to bring her, LOL :lol: That's her in the background hollerin', "That's my Uncle Josh!! Go Josh, Go!!" She is so cute!! Lemme show her to ya... Gotta show off the kiddos, ya know!! She is spending the weekend at my parents, and called tonight and wanted to make SURE Uncle Josh was coming over with me tomorrow. She wants to ride in his truck, HA!! He'll be eatin' that up... He loves her to pieces. Anyways, here she is!! Actually, it's my niece AND nephew Grayson, with me in the middle. (Try not to let the middle person hurt your eyes 8O !!) The quality of the picture is kinda icky, because it's a picture of a picture. We have GOT to get a scanner!!
