Drag Helmet
 
I'm hitting up the drag strip this weekend for my first time. Was wondering if anyone had a helmet I could borrow for the weekend? Many Thanks!

Geeze, when I asked for a helmet nobody stood up besides halon..boo!


It's kind of cool to see how many people have hit the track this year thus far.

He thinks you would of stole it, that's why I "forgot" mine.

If scheides' helmet is randomly abducted by mutant seagulls you are more than welcome to use mine.

What are you thinking the G8 will run?

I have mine in the garage still if anyone needs one. You'd have to pick it up today though, I head out of town tomorrow.

Evo has been in the shop for the past week for fuelz upgrads. So wasn't me :)

I'm hoping that I can run in the 11's traction permitting. I'm not bringing slicks or drag radials so that might be unrealistic.

Those RE-11's hook pretty good.
Good luck on the sub 12 second pass!

Yeah they do hook up really nice IMO, plus I don't make much low end power so I typically don't have that big of issues from the dig. Then again, I don't launch my car very often, or stall up my torque converter.

Well I didn't manage to get 11's this weekend at the drag strip. The best run I was able to pull off was a 12.3 @ 112.

Not too shabby, cut that 60' down and you're there!

Get some slicks, spray and call it a day. Couple more runs down the track you should hit 11s. You going again this coming saturday?

Re: Drag Helmet
 
Nice, that's a good 60ft for street tires. I'm sure you will get better with more time.
