Interesting location. Might be convenient to more people.
You know, I think that’s my problem now that you post this. I lose my shit when people don’t gas it right when the light turns green.
I’m sitting in a line of morons yelling light’s green m.f.’er! Gas pedal’s on the right!
Yeah I am always racing if I am at the line but if someone is in front of me I give them up to 3 seconds then I am honking
Cleetus trolling everyone at World Cup. I'd laugh even harder if it wasn't so functionally good! You watch them change the rules next year...
They spent the day at a Wind Tunnel just before World cup. Drag coefficient without the body was .78. With the body it was .31. Without the body it takes 910 hp tp maintain 200 mph. With the body it only takes around 400 hp.

I think it's funny how he still has the windshield on under the new body windshield. He could lose some more weight by pulling out the inner windshield. I guess for now he's leaving it as a backup.
I'm glad to see he has a hood on the new twin turbo hemi eagle car. That thing must be a $400K car! Its is a very nice full on promod race car. Looks very nice too.
Cleetus left the windshield in Leroy because he wants the option to run with or without the body. The body adds 150 lbs, so they remove one of the 100 lb ballast plates when they put the body on. Leroy with the body is 2850 lbs with one 100 lb ballast weight. Minimum weight for the class is 3000 lbs with the driver, so they are right on the money.
Eagle, the 69 Camaro, is mostly titanium and I'm pretty sure is north of $400K. I think the build minus the engine/trans/rear end was $250K. First pass in testing it went 4.00 @196 in the 1/8th with a ton left on the table. Eagle weighs 2420 lbs race ready. I am not a fan of the color, but the quality of the paint job is top notch. I think they said paint was $30K for that

He was very low 6s in qualifying, that car can definitely make 5s.
Only the rear half and some of the components can be titanium, it's illegal to make the actual safety cage out of titanium. But they can graft titanium onto the rear half behind the cage and the wheelie, bar etc. Not sure what he did there, I didn't follow the build, but its a very nice car.
Not specific to the Eagle, but I still think it looks funny when they put a 315 tire on a 14 or wider rim, but it just plain works and helps the sidewall and gives it a larger contact patch, so they need to do it to be that fast, I just never liked the look of a rim wider than a tire tread, or especially the section width.

They bent a valve on their Q2 pass. The learning curve on a Pro-Line Hemi is steep, and spendy. The got a care package from Pro-line put on a commercial flight and in their hands in hours, should be good to go again shortly.
That 6.05 pass was with 48 lbs of boost, so they have another 30 lbs to work with, and now they know lash needs checked every pass.
I did watch the build of Eagle at CJ Racecars and understood the majority was Titanium, but I could be wrong. It's got a cert sticker, so whatever they did it's within the rules. I'm certainly no expert...

Eagle just ran a 5.93 @ 238 letting out at the 1000' mark. I guess it went back together just fine. lol
Forgot about this thread.
Guess I should have posted these here.

Kaz decided he'd win it all.
First and only pass ever on a drag track.
About 60* out with a little wind.

Well that is cool.
Do you have the "bug" now?

Not really yet.
This time all I wanted was a time slip that didn't show a red light.
I had no idea how it all happens, so I showed up when the gates opened, got through tech, which was a joke, and sat on my bumper for 3 hrs waiting to run.
So this time kinda wasn't fun.
But, if I showed up a little later, and went to the stands to watch all the guys before me, maybe it'd be cool.
Wife wants to try again when we don't have a buddy relying on us for a ride and I don't have to work the same night lol.

Really, I do hard 1/4 pulls quite often on the secluded long back roads around us. So I don't need to go to the track for the rush lol.
But I can't time a 1/4 accurately without the track. So I'll definitely have to do it again if I get more power in it for an updated slip
