That's why I sent you the movie to watch. 8.03 in 2700 feet DA Martin Michigan June 83°. I know it's hard for you. I tried to make it easy.

Can you see the people in T-shirts and shorts?

So you're trying to say you had a 28 inch slick on your car when you went 790 on your best past ever? I'll bet not


LOL are you saying you want to see the time slip because you don't believe it? I thought you didn't care? Which one is it?

You will get your chance at same track same rules. If you think we are not going to sort it out and show up you are wrong.....

When someone gets close to Langer's NA Horsepower numbers there always seems to be a bit of bantering at that point.

Langer is doing good, Mike is doing good. The fun part is watching the tape measures come out. At least the tape measures are close to being correct
vs the computer simulations.

The difference is I always run better then the computers say I should. Not .5 slower. Just sayin'

Why has no one talked about same day, same track. John Synder was in a different time zone.

.5 you're funny! .18 off your best ever with junk cylinder and the car sliding out 1.79 seconds and .26-.28 off in 330', a blown shock, wrong converter. Thats the run you wana latch on to. Ok you and your lil butthurt buddy stan can mull this over. I am SURE you both will find it satisfying. LOL.

Is everybody else almost done building your engine and car for you? I hope they get it done for you soon.

It must be hard waiting on them to get it all done for you.

John Synder deserves a lot of credit for having a handle on is car. And he did that day. As he often does. Lots of respect for him.

I know you love your comparisons. If you were less of a dumbazz it would be easier to understand why a car with multiple issues was slower than one that was on point. But.... You are that guy.....watch the video and think to yourself... Did mikes car hook? No Comparison over. I did not have a good showing at MIR. Multiple issues. But keep using that. If you and langer want to compare against that outing, i want to compare to ANY pass langer ever made in the state of Michigan. LOL.

That's exactly why we don't race dynos!!!



Takes more than money to build an engine, also have to know how to get the HP to the ground and use it and keep it together for more than one run.

Anyone can run slower than the HP they have.

WOW. You just cant help it can you? I mean sometimes I make the mistake of thinking you really know better but post retarded things in an effort to not counterdict some other retarded thing you posted.

BUT NOOOO!!!!! You gotta go and prove that you really are THAT FREAKING RETARDED. what exactly does it prove??? That the car was not sorted out? Like i already said? That it was hurt on those passes and down on power like I already said? And now YOU wanna join the couple knuckle heads that only want to use those couple screwed up passes to compare to two other cars best ever passes too?
AND THAT IS WHY WE DON'T RACE DYNO'S? You're not an idiot like I thought. You own the phrase Phuctard. Conrats john you really are good at something. Maybe better than anyone else at it!!!!

The thing is, most racers make more than one run.
If they have a broken spring, they fix it and make another pass/run.
If they have a problem with the engine they fix it and continue racing.
They don't base their best passes on some useless run.

They don't do a couple passes and call it a year?

Then spout off how they would be faster if they hadn't had any problems?

Lol. Stick the 8.03 at 169 run in your calculator. Add 2975 for weight. Ignore the fact it hit the bars and unloaded. Ignore the 2700ft da.

And eat that. The only think you are chewing on is you own retarded nonsense and waste. I really figured by now you would have hoped up and down about the leaking block and the dairy farmers block. Maybe you just needed a nudge? Eh? Being you are so experianced with doing nothing and cheering for unrelated things.

Ok I'll bite. You best ever pass at a Milan am race last year was 8.309. Is that your best ever Milan all motor pass? I raced there once in like 2012 or 2013 and went 8.08. The struggle is real.

TRUTH. (That basically says that the 'fudge factors' used in the typical "electron simulation" do not match reality with a well performing car".

Just like using a Dyno Procedure originally designed for a 50 cubic inch engine does not match reality when a 500+ cubic inch engine running on the dyno.

The facts have been posted here before but the "electron simulation" guys want to keep
the flawed procedure spouted by the "simulation guys" or the "take your money at the dyno" guys.

Even the track numbers do not represent reality if you only have a couple of data points (with mine shaft air) atmospheric conditions. At least using the track numbers and a number of passes you get a solid foundation to start with.

I used to run track Test Track Aero Drag tests with very high tech measurement/ recording equipment (with hundreds of thousands of data points each run) 14 runs (7 in each direction on the track) and we called that 'one test on one day'. we would test over several days with different combinations of tires, parts, conditions before we reported a number.

So to PICK one run by Mike Leech and say that run was HIS performance benchmark on the track is a bit weak in the actual data game, even for the "electron simulation" guys.

Just saying.

Michigan is a big state john. In 2013/14 i beleive you went 8.08 at 1 am and prolly 1000 ft da.

At martin (I know you keep forgetting) 8.03 at 5pm june 83deg. 2700 ft da.....

The beating is real!!! You know damn well no way in you were going that fast in 2700 ft da. I'm sure you made other passes that day. Were they all 8.08. NO!!

LOL!!!!
