ask anyone that went to the track with me, turborotor, silver93tt. my RE92's were gummy after doing the burnouts it was GREAT. made a huge diffence. i always launch at 7000 sometimes 8000 . the higher i launch the better my 60 ft gets and the faster my time gets. i haven't broken anything yet soooo. i'll keep on doing it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I have trouble doing a good burnout and keeping the car in one place. Since the pedals are so close and set up for heel-toe, I find it difficult to get my size 13's to power brake the car. I can bo a burn out by just letting the clutch out semi hard at 2500rpm and flooring it. The last time at Cecil, I dropped the clutch and the damn thing went right to 8000 in a hearbeat, so I shifted into 2nd, went to 8000 again but the car started to go real sidways (track workers started to move https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR ) The car only has an 80" wheelbase, so it makes it tuff to keep straight. Anyone do their burnouts in 2nd?



I even dropped my air down to 15psi, but it just made it real squirrely. I'm running Kumho V700's. I hope to have some new treads for Atco https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Anyone ever try the traction goop they sell to make your tires sticky?



Vosko - have you ever taken tire temps after your burnout?

when i do burnouts i heel toe you really need hold down the brake a good amount then punch the gas to get the tires going and keep the car still my open diff will spin both tires. i don't have a temp gauge for the tires but they get warm if i was guessing about 70-75 degrees after doing a few burnouts. they get to the point where they grab so hard they won't let me do anymore burnouts that is the point where i don't do anymore.

So do you burnout in 1st or 2nd gear? I could do it in 2nd if you think it would help. Kumho's work best around 190-210*F, so I would bet you are a little hotter then you think. If I make it to Atco, I'll bring the temp gun.

Ohh - I just had a great idea! I can reset my brake bias valve to get rid of most of my rear brakes for the burn out https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Then crank it back down for the run. You can see it in the pic while I was building the car. It is just below the shifter (which is now 5"shorter https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR )

i do burnouts in first gear and just hold rpms around 7000. a temp gun would be cool https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png i have no idea what the temps were just guessing on when i touched them https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png man that thing looks cool nice work :thumbsup:

Vosko - It's a shame that they won't let you take passengers on the 1/4 mile like they do for Solo II (auto-X). I've got a matching passengers seat and harness https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png . If this Atco thing pans out, I'll probably stay the weekend up there and hope to go cruising around in the beast. Oh, wait. I hate NO LEFT TURNS!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif

i would love to see your car run. i think it would be cool to have a passenger down the 1/4 see him go OH MY GOD WE ARE GONNA DIE!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif

I need to mount a fake steering wheel and brake pedal. Most people I take out on the auto-x course start to pump the imaginary pedal and move there hands like they are trying to steer https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png The best part is that there is nothing to grab onto on the passengers side. You have to trust the 5pt. harness, and most people don't https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I just laugh and go faster. My wife hurt her neck last time she rode with me. Lets just say the brakes work well...
