To be honest we never had it on the dyno. Just kept turning up the boost at the track. Would have easily ran 10's if we didn't have the heavy 20" front wheels and the fenders

That was a close race! Lol

11s in the sling has got to feel pretty damn crazy...

Do you guys recall how much boost you were running at that point

Here is the vid of the 11.2 pass

Kinda makes a guy want an automatic!!

Yup auto trans. 18" M/T drag

 

[shizzy2g]

Is the new shifter ready for the auto conversion

 

[1badix]

I have a solution for the aero problem... MOAR POWAH!

 

[QuickSilverSS]

Anyone else top these slip times yet in 1/4 mile?

 

[1badix]

Apparently not many people take their slings to the drag strip......

 

[Nozzledog]

How about 300lbs of weight loaded up in the tailfin?

U mean a 4 wheel conversion? THATS what I want to see at the drag strip. Id have to imagine a 300+ rwhp sling with the 4 wheel conversion would be pretty damn fast.

Maybe their 4 wheel conversion cant handle the drag strip? The rear diff might be too weak? Thats the only reason I can think of.

Our 4 wheel conversion can handle it, is just most track around us is NHRA Regulated. We can't run our Slings on them. The one track that isn't, is where we set the record with our turbo kit. At that time we did not have the 4 wheel conversion Slingshot, as it was sent back to its owner.

I think the NHRA thing is misunderstanding. Give your track a call and talk them though it like I did. They let us run all the time. I get if it is NHRA race. But open racing no big deal. Just talk it out with them. Maybe you can make it happen. Of course I understand when they will not let me race other cars. But....I run down alone or against another slingshot.

@SilverCarbon If the track allows us to run on the track. Regardless if it's a private run by ourselves, the track can lose its NHRA certification. At least that's what we was told, or they just don't want to loose to something with a 4 cylinder and three wheels

U guys dont have a prototype 4wheel conversion? If the track wouldnt let me race Id find a nice abandoned strip to test on if u know what Im saying.

Or how about running on the strip u guys have been testing the auto tranny?

Our prototype is traveling and will be back soon. Unless we finish another kit before then. Yes the automatic transmission is the one that set the fastest record. We are working with a clutch company to release a better clutch kit and will see how well it hold up. (if we can get track time this year)

Ship one down here and I will run it on the NHRA Track here in Houston, TX Area and I will run it against my Supercharged Slingshot with single wheel in back. That would be an awesome race to watch seeing how they allow the Slingshot on the 1/4 mile track here. This is the equivalent of the TV show Street Outlaws.... "Call out" A little friendly race that everyone wants to see!
