Why do you need a cert to run in the 10's? Or are you knocking on the 1/8th mile cut off numbers? I don't know what those are, I don't speak 1/8th mile yet. Nice job either way though. Still waiting for my day to come.

Gainesville is one of only two tracks that the NHRA owns. The tech guy is the same guy who carts the chassis in our area and he told me there was no way my chassis would cert. I knew that and thats why I had current belts and safety gear. I even brought my arm restraints form when I had the dragster in case they didn't like the ragtop.
It's time to put a legit 8.50 cage in it and run it on. The big track with the boost turned up.
This is till at 14 psi.

Gavin, when you say chassis do you mean cage? its a pan car still isn't it?
Chip, I am guessing that ragtop is classed same as cabrio and you need a full cage at 13.99 I think it is

Yes Sir, cage is what I was referring to. It is a pan car. Thanks for the compliments Richie, Its been a long road te get a driveable 10 second street car and I honestly drive this thing 3-4 times a week.

Good point on the roof, never considered that a ragtop put you into the same category as a cabrio, but i could see a tech guy going that route i suppose.

Richie, Is it possible to keep the competition eliminator heads cool enough on the street at 200-300 mile highway trips at 60-70 mph? I saw that you used type 3 tin under the cilinders. Did you modify anything to the tin or is it just stock? Good luck at dragweek!!

Hi Nick,
good to see you on here
Thanks
They are just about ok for that, depending on gearing you can increase fan speed if needed with a pulley swap to the 912 top pulley which helps, and there are a few other things you can do to increase cooling surface area if needed.
I did a couple of things to the type 3 tin, but just to make them fit better and clear the bigger pushrod tubes
cheers Richie

Hi Richie
Engine is looking sweet, are you running short manifolds or is it the throttle bodies that make it look squat

When I put it together I just used what I had to get it finished and on road but even then intended tidying it up when I got a chance, plan was to do it when it broke but it didn't happen
so never got done, as I had to take it out now after a little on road incident to check for other damage I thought I would treat it
It will probably break now wont it

Comp elim manifolds are quite short compared to typical vw head manifolds and throttle bodies are shorter than IDAs I think

Am sure once it cools down a bit and air is better it will run quicker than the 10.40s it has managed so far with a little tuning etc

Richie's street cars are all quicker than a lot of race cars! Quite depressing to think of this as the slowest of his three...

I guess some carbon fiber will help too, and will be a nice contrast with the white it is now.

Hey Richie,
May I ask what torsion bars and shocks you're running there?
Seemed like very little camber change when you hit it. Do you limit travel or is t just stiff as f....??

its IRS so very little camber change anyway, would need to check but 27mm or 28mm torsion and QA1 shocks

Ahhh, that'll be why then..
Thought you'd managed some awesome combo of torsion, Z and shocks

Holy thread revival, Batman!
Just been looking at the photos on Eurodragster from Friday's RWYB attention Pod and saw a certain white 67 with lots of carbon bits with the front wheels so high up in the air! Didn't look to be a naturally aspirated exhaust any more...
