Ive raced alot of cars but this cobalt is HARD! Big thanks to Stewart for the launching tips. My buddies G/F kept beggin to ride so i let her on the last two runs Heres my runs

1st
60ft-2.46
330ft-6.64
1/8th-10.01@ 73mph
1000 ft-12.72@ 83mph
rolled off the line easy bumped rev limiter from 1st to 2nd pretty much a sucky run

2nd
60ft-2.39
330ft-6.68
1/8th-10.11@ 72mph
1000 ft-12.87@ 83mph
pretty much same as 1st run but with a passenger, I wanted to hit my self in the head with a hammer at this point.

3rd
60ft-2.25
330ft-6.34
1/8th-9.89@ 63mph
1000 ft-13.42@ 58mph
I launched at around 2300 but missed 3rd before the 1/8th so i think i had a fair run going until that plus i still had a passenger

Im really sure i can get this car into the lower 12s and maybe some high 11s if i can get rid of my passengers and have a nearly perfect run. I havent raced my Monte Carlo in about a year and thats the last time ive been on the drag strip. My best time with it was 10.34 @98mph.

Anybody have any advise on racing, I cant really bang 2nd for fear of breaking the car. How much does the B&M shifter help with shifting?? Does the damper help alot??

Thanks Jerm

 

well i ran the time in my sig with a 9.2 1/8th mile and my 1000ft was 12.1 i think. You can do better just lose the passenger and practice launching. Thats the main key in this car. Damn wheel hop!

 

what track did you run at in AR?

 

Centerville its about 15 miles south of Russilville or how ever u spell it
