Huge transformation

I'm the 69th like. Let's keep it there lol

@@budddove6480 maybe something in 2020 will go right!?!

@@LS__812 I wouldnt bet on it, but we can never lose hope.

Thomas Big 240 guy

Jon Rodgers 240 is faster and is h patterned also looks way better

@@kylelaughinghouse1893 “one of the”

@@kylelaughinghouse1893 he also isn’t a H pattern anymore send auto!

James 240 doesn't have anything for Casey's car at texas speed it runs 7s not trying hes trying to get it into the 6s last pass I seen was a 7.0 something

I thought he red lit that last pass lol

He did though..The guy next to him was like a second from invoking the "burn down rule" playing games because he knew he was out gunned....and nobody wanted to race Jimmy for money after either.

Yes the video is good but could do with out that (music ?) . Thanks

the turbana pipe stays yellow sir

Nah, it’s from before it got the straight axle and would snap an axle every pass

He said they scraped the track before the race. That gets you close to a no prep surface in most cases. Specially if you don't have a lot of cars putting rubber back down. That track does usually have really good prep but even the best prep won't hold the power that car makes. The air was much better than what he had in Florida and there's a very fine line between blowing the tires off and not. So can't completely blame the track. Now I would have been little more conservative off the hit, knowing I was the faster car and spun earlier but James knows what he's doing. Although we would love too. We can't get it right all the time. Haven been 1.10 60ft on a similar tire. 1.17 isn't bad at a new track with a new setup with that car.

@@waynebollentin989 I missed the part about them scraping the track. I just remember a LOT of guys running PBs at SGMP.

@@Jeremy-Biggers I'm originally from NJ but moved to Georgia few years ago. Atco, Cecil, and most of all Budds Creek in Maryland have really good surfaces. Some of the fastest times have been ran at those tracks specially Budds Creek like I said. Over the last 20years I've raced all over the country too in the NMRA, NMCA, grudge racing, etc. So I know what a good surface is and SGMP definitely usually has one for sure.

@@waynebollentin989 not trying to argue with you brother but that track can hold his power many records for x275 get broke there alot. Steve fast broke the record i believe 3 times in 1 weekend there

@@luckysniper31 lol, I didn't say otherwise. If you read my last comment, I said that I know it's usually a great track. I've personally raced on it and many others over the years but in this case though the track had the rubber scraped off before the race. That makes a big difference specially if there's not a high car count. That doesn't mean he couldn't or shouldn't have done better but like I also said before. There's a very thin line between fast and blowing the tires off on even the best tracks. There's many factors outside the track conditions. Like suspension setup, how hard you hit the tire, boost and timing ramp etc. Also you can't compare the track prep you get at a big event, like at a duck X event or similar. There's a night and day difference.

He doesn't run quarter mile. He runs 1/8 mile so it going to be in the 4s somewhere

He will run both you are right though commonly eighth but he runs both so that’s where I got my estimates from

Rear gear.. Think 3.70?

Don’t recall what the rear gear is he says it in one of the videos

It's a bottom-mid 7 second car. If some gear was pulled out and a lockup 3 speed was in there I bet there's a high 6 in it.

Considering he doesn't light the boards.. nobody knows his times..

@@traphousegarage1251 I could tell you how to get within a 10th of the et, it's not difficult..

@@Scootermagoo lmao right, let's see your 4 second car.

Come on anybody with half a mind can take a second and get within a tenth of his time just watching him. Come on man as Biden would say

@@traphousegarage1251 dude, why would you ask me such a stupid question? I mean feck man you can use a stop watch or a video editing program to count frames for a time.. Your iq is pretty low bub.

Thank you

nothing against you, but you should try asking nissan before a guy that is using it as a way to hold four wheels and an engine together. do you get irritated at the sight of popups? this is a oddly fascinating yet dull question. I wonder why you asked it.

Heeeeelllllll no lmao

It doesn't, but 1/8th mile cars are kinda glossed over when it come to cages. In fact, Cleetus' Ruby+Coops Camaro should have a 25.5 cage to run below 8.50.. so it might just be youtube celebrity status.

@@ERidParasoth yea idk im not playing that game mine is 25.2D

@@DrTuneEmAll I don't blame you one bit, I've seen enough wrecks with cars nearly split in half to understand why cages are needed at certain levels.

@@ERidParasoth Ruby is cage is good 6.50 or that is what I Clet said I think the cage runs through the A Piller but any way all of these cars need more cage

They have yes

My thoughts exactly. It’s a safety issue. Should result in auto DQ.

@@jlfastride1 same here, it should be like crossing the center line.

I thought the same thing if any part of your car crosses center it should be a dq but they said its a race he got there first I said ok 👌

typically radial cars dont transfer like your thinking

It's the fastest in the fleet. James said so on his 1320 video! I wanna know what it runs damn it

@@DeejayPozE im gonna say 7.5-7.4 on a good day and solid hookup with great track prep

@@militarymn2008 it's little faster than that. He's going to run a lot of 1/8 mile stuff and I'd say it's in the 4.65-7.5 range or 7.30s depending on how the car mph and he's not even leaning on it yet. This car should be capable of going 4.50s or better and dip into the 6s once it's turned up all the way.

@@waynebollentin989 right, I was just basing what I said off of what he's done so far. I would agree he could hit a high 6 once turned up. Im excited to see him excel further and dominate the grudge racing scene

@@militarymn2008 He has a fast car but dominate the grudge scene? I don't think so. Not when your talking about the big events like Duck X etc. Those guys are running low 4s and high 3s on a prep surface. Not going to get that done with his setup. Not even close but he does have a chance at the smaller events depending on who shows up. Right now he wouldn't make it pass the first round of small block boost for instance. Those guys are running in the low 4s right now and there's a big difference between 4.60 and 4.20s. That's almost a full second in the 1/4. Take care bro.

It ripped because he was 60ft out and in high gear at that point

@@traphousegarage1251 well yeah of course, but if you look he's also a good 6-12" more to the right when he gets back in it

The weather the weather was beautiful 🤣

It's Dr. Tune Em All's (aka Nate) KZfaq channel, not James'.

It's the no time grudge rules, if he shows his time no one will race him, how do you expect him to get races if they know his times.

No

TC is more of a fail safe for production cars for inexperienced drivers. Drag cars don't want TC to pull power/boost/rpm every time the wheels slip a bit. edit- i know there are TC systems in use for other forms of racing(apparently a few companies make some for drag as @matt vardaman mentioned). also a lot of time it comes down to drivetrain/differentials/limited slip combined with the traditional TC systems to reduce the need to pull power. thanks for the comments.

@@randomhero123 A few companies make traction control for drag racing. It’s expensive, but works down to 1/32 of a rotation of the driveshaft. Grudge racers are usually overpowered, and compete on who can put the most to the ground.

@@randomhero123 lots of especially endurance racing cars have traction control. It's just adjustable in like 11+ steps and the level used in dry conditions only prevents you from spinning the car if if the steering wheel is dead straight and the car is in a gear higher than first. Any steering angle and you can spin the car with the traction control on.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
