Naturally Aspirated Top 1/4 Mile List.

[billyVR6]

Hey, I tried this once, so did Killacoupe.
Now a topic mod is on board with the idea of a N/A specific forum, and trying again:

We have one vote for 'No' already.

People should pick a forum or two and spread the word, see if it actually happens this time.

No problem.

It was annoying me all night that I know this car has a faster time in it. For some reason I have the infamous 3rd/4th gear block that redlines at 6500 while the other gears are 7200 so I have to go trace my wiring for that blue/white wire that sends the speed signal to the ECU. I kept nose diving across the line because I couldn't run out third. Tried going into fourth right before it cut out but that too slowed me down. It was pretty cold so no matter what I did with the BFG's they were spinning and one wheelin peelin outta the hole is killing my 60', really need a diff. Hopefully once I get some traction and fix the wiring I can go 13.1 or so before messing with the setup.

The new chassis is the same overall weight as the old one but I didn't have to cut anything and I had both stock front seats in/tools/etc in the car.

13.480@101.19 - Sky Watkins - 1995 GTI - 2.8L VR6 - Street Car - 2550 lbs - Active

Heres a pic of the slip, sorry for the crappy cell phone pic:

The list has been updated, and again congrats to Matt.

Some other things, I am thinking about putting a cap on the list at 50 cars, not sure yet. The drag radial list is going to change soon as well, I don't feel the need for two lists. So, I am thinking just post the best ET, and who acheived it, so right now it would be Matt Ivan's time. It's a tough decision, I personally like seeing Joe's heavy radial time, just because...

Anyone care at all?


Modified by billyVR6 at 3:12 PM 11-11-2008

[XXX008XXX]

i agree on the cap, but there should be a radial list and a slick list. i will be on both again next season the the snail goes on.

[race-shop joe]

im going for the record, i will have the most all motor cars on the list im not far behind now

[billyVR6]

Due to many requests, this list will soon be moved to the new Naturally Aspirated forum.

Now that it has been moved, the decision needs to be made on changing the format.

i think billy should start up a new post here. this is where it should be . also i think the engines should be listed separately 8v,12v,16v,20v,24v, not to make things complicated but easier to see whos doing what with a certain engine. some people work hard at making there n/a car fast and are sitting at the bottom of the list, making them look like they havent accomplished much. major props to all the 8v racers out there. theres got to be an easy way of listing them or is it to complicated?

You guys want this as a top 50 list, or do you want it all broken down into sections?



Modified by billyVR6 at 9:32 PM 11-11-2008

[need_a_VR6]

You could do a top 10 anything goes, a top 10 radial and then a top 10 by engine type. That is only about 40 lists to keep track of.

[billyVR6]

I have received some good input through IM.
This is what I think will be the best for all, and still easy to maintain.

The main list will stay as a Top 50 list.

The drag radial list will be a Top 10 list.

I will then make Top 10 sub-sections based off of engine model.

[need_a_VR6]

New list setup looks good

[vw1320]

To the new list. I want to thank Billy for taking his time to setup and maintain the lists.

[billyVR6]

Thanks guys.

There are now some spots to fill out in the 8v, 16v, 20v & 24v sub-sections. I have a few cars in mind, but I need to confirm exact details.

So, if you think you've got a time for aone of the open slots please post up. The rules haven't changed, so unless it was very well documented run, please submit time slips, back up slips and or video as requested on the first page.

Thanks.

06. 13.31 @ 101.00mph - Joe Ritchie - 1981 Rabbit - 2.0L 16v - Race Car - 1600+ lbs. - Active

I think this one is for sale by owner up in Tacoma. Is this the orange race rabbit?

[billyVR6]

Yes, it is the orange rabbit, I have always kept an eye out for any new times from him, but never seem to find anything.

[billyVR6]

So, here is who I have on the hook for the Top 10 8v sub-section:

Todd (crazydubman) 14.65

Joe (race-shop joe) 14.67

Allen (1badimport) 14 something.

Drew Foose (taken from the old VWsport list) 14.0

Andrew Stauffer?? 14.76 (but I think it went lower).

Please post up if you know any 8v cars were cracking out low ET's.
I gotta dig deep, the Brazil, SA and PR guys are nuts, so I need to revisit all areas.

[need_a_VR6]

I ran 15.35@84 in the Rabbit if you need to dig real far

Ok I give up and I missing something really obvious? Sorry I've had two Mondays this week and my brain isn't working

[billyVR6]

Go back and read the Top 50 list, and then read the Top 10 8v sub-section.
Then come back and tell us who should be where, and on what list.
