  • you guys at RIPS are gods! ive been wanting to do something like this for a very long time. Props to you guys for kicking some major ass. very impressive 7.4

  • @thegreendaychik Cheers for the support. We got down to 7.26 and have been as fast as 186mph but still with major traction problems, even with a big wing and larger tyres we find outselves at only around 20psi boost from 1/2 track to be able to keep it in a straight line. The power is there for a 6, we just have to find a way to make it stick. Rob

  • If you are lacking traction at the top end why not just but a big wing on the car?

    That is what all the top fueler drag cars do.

  • @roflex2 If you check my later vids you'll see we did add a wing and got down to 7.26 but at only 181mph as it was still spinning the tyres hard. This season we have gone to much larger wings front, rear and side so we hopefully push for a 6.

  • Woa! When did this happen?? I just happened to log in today to find these gems! I guess this means you're done with street tyres :p

  • december last year and yep, slicks from now on, lol

see all

    yeah dude i know how that goes. i noticed it gettin a bit squirrely at half track. and looking at that track it seems to have quite a few dips on the 1320. idk how you measure it in NZ but thats what im used to here in the states lol. that could also be affecting it in some way. idk. again id have to be there to give any real input. i totally love what you guys have done and hope to either start something similar here in Arizona or at least see something like it. keep it up!

  • RIPS make the best sounding RBs around. keep it up!!!!!!!!!!

  • gotta bring this to the QLD jamboree for sure :)

  • We have lots of power to spare but no grip from about 150 meters out. So far we are on 6.8 second pace at 60ft and 330 and on 7.1 pace by 1/2 track then we have to back the power right off. I "think" its "possible" to run a 6 at some stage but its sure going to be alot of work from where we are at now, time will tell.
