Drag Racing: Tip #1

Drag Racing is a real fundamental sport. Some that wouldn't know better would just think its who gets there first wins, well that is the case is some drag racing, but in my opinion REAL DRAG RACING is bracket racing, which is all about cutting down the tree and running the number. Cutting down the tree (Cutting a good light or Reaction Time), is where most races are won and if you have a car that runs consistent that just makes it even better, kinda like an added bonus. Today I want to share with you what I do in order to keep my lights in the .520's or better probably 85% of the time. Again this is what I do, no guarantees that it will work for you but you may try it and it may help you.
The first thing I do is go into my routine, which is the burnout, prestage then stage, now this is where some people don't realize is important, first and foremost when you stage you MUST stage the same every time in order to be able to be consistent on the tree. So I stage as shallow as I possibly can. Once I am staged I will pick my spot on the tree, this is different for everyone, and it really depends on the day how fast your reflexes are etc. I will go out for my first pass of the day looking NOT at the bulb but the bottom of the bulb cover. As soon as I see a reflection on the cover I let go of the button, or brake pedal. IF the light is good or where I want it I will do the same the next round to make sure that is gonna be the spot for that day, if the light was late then I will move my "spot" to the center of the bulb, as soon as I see the bulb light up I let go, and lastly if I am still late I will then move to the top of the bulb cover (which most of the time is my spot) as soon as a reflection appears then I let go and hope I don't red light. If none of these tricks work for you adjust your launch RPM in 200 rpm increments and you should be able to find your spot in no time. If none of these tricks work its time to start looking at front tire size (in my opinion) If you are late off the starting line consistently then you need to go to a smaller diameter tire, this takes some of the roll out out of the equation and just the opposite if you are red lighting a lot, go to a bigger diameter front tire to give you more roll out. Adjustment of tire pressure really only helps if you can go in about 10 pound increments. Hopefully these tips and tricks will help you start cutting perfect lights in just a few tries.

Drag Racing and E85

From personal experience I must say this stuff is for real. I converted over about mid season last year after talking to several people I finally decided to give it a shot, especially after being offered a 100% complimentary E85 conversion kit from Heath Daniel from raceonE85.com he walked me through everything and helped me with any questions I had, unlike a lot of guys he held no secrets, a lot of guys that have figured out the tuning on E85 act like its some secret or something and want to share nothing with you, Heath over at raceonE85.com will answer any questions you have and is a real class act when it comes to helping out the budget weekend warrior. My experience on E85 was very positive I must say, the car picked up well over a tenth of a second in the eighth mile and the car was much more consistant. After getting the car tuned properly due to the suggestions of Heath Daniel at raceonE85.com my car performed flawlessly. Then after 2 weeks of running E85 I was in the middle of an 1/8th mile pass then I heard a BIG POP and the car just went dead, much to my demice the car had broken the crankshaft, of course my first thought was "that damn E85", then I got the car home the motor pulled and torn apart and the dang thing looked like new on the inside, bearings all still had teflon on them and there were no signs of any corrosion or extra wear and tear due to the fuel change, so I reinstalled a new cranshaft and was back on the track the next week. So to make a long story short E85 had absolutely NO ILL EFFECTS on my engine. This stuff is unbelieveable how it performs, the car runs cooler, results in more Horsepower, and runs more consistant for less than half the cost of Racing Fuel. Ladies an Gentlemen E85 has my full support and hopefully this little post will help some of you make the decision to convert or if you were thinking about converting hopefully this article will help you decide. If you have any questions at all what so ever concerning E85 please contact Heath Daniel at http://www.raceone85.com/ or you can post any questions you may have on this blog and I will answer you the best I can. With the economy going the way it is prople are going to be looking for alternative ways to save money, well how does saving you about half the money you spend of Fuel sound? Oh by the way the people that say you use twice as much E85 as you do Race Fuel are full of it in a normal race going to the finals including practice passes I average about 10 passes in an 1/8th mile, I used exactly 1 more gallon a day then I did on race fuel. So again why would you spend $6 a gallon on race fuel when you can get E85 for less than $2 a gallon and it will make you go faster, make you more consistant and be better for the atmosphere, what more could you ask for? Racing and E85 IS the future and the FUTURE IS NOW!
