great run but whats with the smoke? :confused

read in the hwy 100 thread.... something about doing a burnout at the end of the track becuase of a line lock problem :confused

[Moparjim]

Great video! I wish you'd have gotten the 10.59@135 run though hehe.... Less smoke on the 2nd run as well. I havent figured it out yet but its definitely my rear tires locking up under hard braking - I think it may be related to my line lock either Ive got air in the front lines or its thrown the proportioning off so the rears are locking up when I brake hard. The first run I braked hard to make the first turnaround and was pretty frikken surprised to turn around and see the smoke cloud. Second run I didnt brake as hard but still got some small wispy smoke as if they had locked up a little bit. The car doesnt have ABS and has huge brakes its always been easy to lock em up and typically you dont feel it the car stops straight and the tires dont even make noise. Anyway Ill be looking at it this weekend a bit closer.

As for the 10.90 run and the shifting slow - I knew I was only going to get 1-2 runs in so the first run in the video I launched like granny would have and shifted real nice and deliberate because I didnt want to blow what might be my only run of the day and come away with no decent timeslip. 2nd run I tried launching a bit harder and came away with a 10.59 but I still shifted pretty conservative. Im going to go back a weeknight or something wher i can get a buncha runs in and really hammer on it to see if I can knock a few tenths off or even crack 9.90 with the right launch and powershifting it like I stole it. I have the MPH and horsepower to crack the nines, not sure if I have the tire or not though...
