OGP Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanksgiving weekend before I packed up on sunday, I went over to comp hill with a passenger and a GPS. The first run I made at the hill, I was back a bit. I hit 4th gear and pulled 83mph on gps. I made a few passes like it was a race,Starting right at the bottom and pulled 73 MPH about 5 times. I could not break the 75 MPH mark I was shooting for without a little run. I know my car runs pretty well and beats most cars I have raced. Randog is always there to put me in my Place!!! Im wondering what MOST OTHER FAST CARS ARE RUNNING UP THE HILL FOR mph? :mischevious: Anyone else GPS there cars up the hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDuner Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah, mine GPS'd at 76 MPH from a dead stop at the bottom. :mischevious: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDDriver Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The sand pig I drive hits bout 57. If I ever get it running right i think I'll be hitting 75. :mischevious: from stopped at the bottom, I can hit 2nd. But when I grab 3rd it just holds my speed where I shifted at. I think I'll get a little more umff once I get it dailed in(once I shell out the bucks to have it done right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddunesaddict Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) It gets you in the ballpark but is not accurate because you are climbing elevation more than covering ground but it is close. But Sandyfz has a radar gun we can have some fun with. Edited December 5, 2006 by sanddunesaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindernglamis Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I agree w/ sanddunesaddict....gps is more accurate if you are traveling on a level plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 My car reads about 120+ on the speedo. No really it does. Did I mention my speedo is off quite a bit because of the sprocket and trie size compared to a Busa street bike? Yeah it is. :mischevious: I think my car goes about Mutha Bitchezz. :fro: :argue: It's fast enough. :fro: I am guestimating about 65-ish though if Tim's car is 75. He gets me by about 4-5 cars every time. We won't even talk about Randog's damn rocket ship car. :argue: :fro: We need to bring the radar gun out next trip, Tim. You said you have one right?

SandBox_Kid Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I wonder what Randog is running up comp..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertskyz Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 A GPS will hold top speed, but I'm sure about up hill. We haven't tried it yet. We will New Years. Can't wait to see how fast the car goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertskyz Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I guess I should have read the first of the tread before I started crap out my mouth. GPS is the way to go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don29palms Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 My car tops out at 18 mph if I get a good run. If I make a dead start I can get it up to 17 mph. Anything faster than that kinda scares me. No really all kidding aside I can do 20 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Tim, I never GPS'd up the hill, However, a couple years ago, I did smoke a twin turbo LS6 700hp, as my dumb Mutha BitchAzzz :redhat: did 131 down Glamis drags on GPS. not a good idea 4th Gear wide open pegged on the rev limiter. Cranking the wheel left to right to keep the rear of the car behind me. :ahhhhh: Didn't you guys have one out there for the first kickoff weekend My car reads about 120+ on the speedo. No really it does. Did I mention my speedo is off quite a bit because of the sprocket and trie size compared to a Busa street bike? Yeah it is.

We won't even talk about Randog's damn rocket ship car. We need to bring the radar gun out next trip, Tim. You said you have one right? Perfect speed Pete. :dance: Oh yeah with my old 454 small block i pulled comp an the top of third gear dead stop launching in 2nd ,this new motor dead stop i launch in second grab third and at the 3/4 mark i run outs gear have to grab 4th and its still trying to pull the front up . :ahhhhh: ( i probAbly should grab 4th a lil past the 1/2 mark) but i am going to buy a couple of pulleys and start turning it down Sounds tuned just right. Don't tune down. :no_no: Just run without a shoe on your right foot Bob. If any of you are out there from dec 26 to the 31st. We can shoot you on the radar if you want to check your top speed up the hill. Damn, I'm not going out there that weekend . I would run the hill all night to get radar readings, Might do it anyways. Can you bring the gun out other weekends after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EY3BA11 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 If memory serves me right GPS with enough sattellites doin the reception thing will track altitude as well and i believe it has a algorithm built into the gps to figure out speed traveling vertical as well. Dont quote me though... But im pretty sure it can.. Thats why you need 3+ sattelites connected to get a decent reading.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
