If anyone is in the area, the OnDGas trucks are pretty impressive…

What are the spectator rules this year?

Need to be with a car

 

[Illegal_Demon]

That’s why I’m going. And I tell everyone if you can make it go

No follow on plans for another track after the 2023 event?

I Don’t Know but it will not be Baytown where record times are made

 

[vortecd]

Sure they will have it somewhere

A track a few hours from us ran after thanksgiving. It was well into the minus unsure about prep but it snowed on most peoples drives home. Should have made that but we had 2ft of snow this side of the state.

Well… 🫤. I guess I’ll put the results here. At Famoso trying to get dialed for Houston next month. First pass was with 18* timing to get some safe data. This was the first 1/4 mile pass on the new build. 8.44 at 161 mph. Decision was made to just drive it off the line off the foot brake and raised the bars up high for a soft leave. That was a mistake. Carried the fronts until the second gear shift at about 100 ft. (See pic). Tripped the 60’ with the rear wheels at a 1.24. Things went down hill from there. The mph kept going down and it was obvious that something was wrong. Turns out a o-ring in the Holly valve cover failed and was oiling the plugs on the left rear cylinder causing a misfire. We now have a dead coil pack. These are the Holley EFI coils so it’s doubtful we’ll score another one for tomorrow. Oh well ☹️

 

[Linda's Hell Cat]

Never know who might show up in Baytown.

I'm reading through this thread and here you are Colby. I always wondered where you went and if you were still racing your Hellcat!
Now I see you may be going to this race!

Are you stock compression?

Are you stock compression?

9.5

 

[TNREDEYE]

I bought that $799 entry last night. We've been twice. Had a really good time both times. It's one of the most laid back race track experiences I've ever had.

 

[Illegal_Demon]

What is the current record for oem stock demon (ET and trap time). I know a few got into the 9.58 range with big negative DA a few years ago…haven’t kept up since.

And by “oem stock” I guess we have a few sub genres.

1 as delivered. Bone stock including nittos
2. Same as above with tire swap.
3. Same as 1 with tire swap and (if necessary) seats and trunk insulation removed (e.g. 1 dollar option stuff)

 

[Jack_Toepfer]

Don’t forget about the weight reduction.

 

[Illegal_Demon]

Don’t forget about the weight reduction.

Yeah that's covered in "3" (minus seats, trunk insulation, both things that could have been "as delivered").

I'm specifically interested in stock ET/trap numbers so anything beyond "3" I'm defining as not stock for this exercise. Still cool and interesting to go past this for others, just beyond what Im defining as "stock".

 

[Jack_Toepfer]

Roll them over the scales, that’s the only weigh…

 

[TNREDEYE]

At one point the go to weight for record runs was whatever Leah's Demon weighed back when she went the 9.65. I think I remember than number but I'm not certain enough of it to put in in writing. That always seemed reasonable to me. This would allow for lightweight batteries and such to compensate for Leah's smaller than your typical Demon owners size.
I do know some weighed less than that and went pretty quick.

I personally think it'd be cool if the Legion event ran a stock Demon record category where the cars were weighed and signed off on after any run that the owner wanted to be counted as official. This wouldn't account for any other "not stock" stuff that might be going on though...

Wow. Surprised this isn’t a thing already. So the stock et/trap is not known/recorded after 5 years of running? I would think this would be a holy graille number to go after each year.

ps I love your idea. Very simple to measure/enforce and it makes perfect sense.
