my 16yr old needs 12.9 on 1g awd

[Goat Blower]

Great, parental advice from a bunch of 20-somethings, except for old Kracka. :-) I had a 14-second car when I was in HS, I raced everybody and never lost to anyone my age. You don't know his kid, so don't bother with the advice unless you're a parent yourself.

That being said, some good tuning and race gas will get you there. You might need some sort of fuel control if you don't have something already.

drag racing at 16 sounds like a good father son thing to do.
just make sure that you are letting your son know its better to race his car on the strip and have nothing to prove on the street.
hell if i had a fast car id carry around my time slips from the track and when somone wanted to race id say hey look at these slips prove you actualy race your car legaly and meet me at the track other wise shut your mouth.

and throw a beeoch at the end of that.

anyway id rather help my son build up a fast car and participate with him in legal races than have him go out and do it on the street like all these dumb ass honda boys out there

i got video of me in my gd bonneville smokin honda ass all over the place at the drag races 2 weeks ago but i got owned by every dsm i came up against.

time to get intense on my bonne then ill run with the dsm's if thats cool with you guys?

Get your kid's car going as fast as you and he want, but keep his racing on the track. Put down firm rules that he will not have the car any longer if he's caught fucking around on the street. We don't need to have a news headline from him.

I get accused for driving like a grandma on the street. The very reason for that is I have one speeding ticket 9 years ago when I was 19 and I promised myself I would never get another. I autocross enough that I don't feel the need to mess around on the street.

[hareboy1979]

yup

[hareboy1979]

wonder if da bonne would autocross

[AwdGSX13]

i like the guage thats hilarious!

Is X-Rated Car Club still around Minnesota?

[AwdGSX13]

i believe so, i see their cars every so often. Didnt they have some 12.99 deal to be in the club?

[Kracka]

HAHA @ X-Rated! Who knows if they are still around, but I've heard Tyler is out of it. They may still be reppin' the mean streets of St. Cloud.

I was racing at the track with my dad when I was 15 in his 67 cougar that ran mid 12's with street tires that would not hook up

[1QUICK4]

For all anyone on here knows maybe his kids 1G is a track only weekend father/son bracket car. It doesn't say if it's a DD or not.

Race gas on that set-up should be well into the 12's. Hell I ran a 12.99 with only race gas, ACT2600, open stock, downpipe, 23psi and a blaha K&N setup. That car ran 13.0's @ 103 all day long.

[AwdGSX13]

doesnt take too much to get dsm's into the 12's which is nice... but it doesnt take much for them to break either

[Predavore]

I did it with a VPC, 550 injectors, and a 20g. (Supporting intake and exhaust with fuel pump). Ran a 12.7 with bad synchros.

[Goat Blower]

I remember when there was three DSM's in the 12's locally. The fourth took a VPC to break that 13.0 barrier. Seems like anybody can do it these days.

[CarPsyco84]

race gas lots of boost, I ran 12.85 on a 14b stock clutch and dp, I took the stock exhaust off and my spare tire out, got to the light reved to 5500 last yellow came on, and I let er have it...

[Shane@DBPerformance]

The easiest thing to do is run race gas and turn up the boost at the track, that should net him a 12. Even my wife ran 12s with the stock turbo on race gas and she can't shift very fast.

[bartgerbracht]

he will be running the car at the track. he ran 14.5 last year and had probally 60 runs down the srip under his belt at 15 years old. He biuld't the car himself from my leftover parts Its only fair to let him drive it. the club is clubredline at clubredline.net check it out, they do have a few fast cars including a 600+ horsepower supra and one of the fastest gtp's in the state, hes already a member but wants more.
he knows better than to play on the street he started on this car two years ago and is not going to lose it to the cops. he also has a honda to get to work and school.
if you check most tracks require only that you can leagally drive on the road to run with me in the passenger seat and his permitt he was legal at 15. thanks for the advice and concerns I would rather have my boy in the garage than doing drugs with his addiction to cars he don't have money for anything else.

[Kracka]

Well said! Buy him some race gas

[hareboy1979]

wish my dad would help me with my car.
My dad sux in that aspect but i let my 11 year old work on my car with me and when he is 16 i wanna spank that ass at the track

of course dad will have to have a slower car to let the son beat him and feel good about himselfe but its all good
