"Acceleration" Defined.... (Per the Keith Black Website)

 

One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower

than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500.

 

Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro

methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate

with 25% less energy being produced.

 

A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the

dragster's supercharger. With 3,000 CFM of air being rammed in by the

supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a

near-solid form before ignition.

 

Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle. At the

stoichiometric (stoichiometry: methodology and technology by which

quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions are determined)

1.7:1 air/fuel mixture of nitro methane, the flame front temperature

measures 7,050 deg F.

 

Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the

stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric

water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

 

Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an

arc welder in each cylinder. Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed

during a pass. After halfway, the engine is dieseling from compression,

plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1,400 deg F. The engine can only

be shut down by cutting the fuel flow.

 

If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in

the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow

cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half.

 

In order to exceed 300 mph in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an

average of over 4G's. In order to reach 200 mph (well before half-track),

the launch acceleration approaches 8G's.

 

Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed reading

this sentence. Top fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from

light to light! Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900

revolutions under load.

 

The redline is actually quite high at 9,500 rpm. Assuming all the

equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimate $1,000.00 per second.

 

The current top fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.441 seconds for the

quarter mile (10/05/03, Tony Schumacher). The top speed record is 333.00

mph (533 km/h) as measured over the last 66' of the run (09/28/03 Doug

Kalitta).

 

Putting all of this into perspective, picture this scenario: You are

driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter "twin-turbo" powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a top fuel dragster is staged and ready to launch down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start.

 

You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting

line and pass the dragster at an honest 200 mph. The "tree" goes green for

both of you at that moment.

The dragster launches and starts after you. You keep your foot down hard,

but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums and

within 3 seconds, the dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter mile away from where you just passed him.

 

Think about it, from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200

mph and not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1,320 foot long race course.

 

... and that my friend, is ACCELERATION!

There's no replacement for displacement except for a blower

for those changing brake pads now or in future.

 

Bedding Metallic or Carbon/Metallic Pads - (NEVER drag the brakes)

 

1. Perform four repeated light to medium stops, from 65 mph to 10 mph, to bring the rotors to temperature.

 

2. Perform two heavy stops, back to back, at a point just short of wheel lock, from 65 mph to about 5 mph.

 

3. Drive for five to ten minutes to create cooling airflow, without using the brakes if possible.

 

4. Perform three light stops in succession.

 

5*. Perform eight heavy stops, back to back, at a point just short of wheel lock, from 65 mph to about 5 mph.

 

6. Drive for ten minutes to create cooling airflow, without using the brakes if at all possible.

 

* At the end of each slowdown, immediately accelerate back to 65mph. DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP! If you stop completely and sit for any length of time with the brake lever pulled in, you will imprint pad material onto the hot rotors, which can lead to vibration, uneven braking, and could even ruin the rotors.

 

7. After the break-in cycle, there should be a slight blue tint and a light gray film on the rotor face. The blue tint tells you the rotor has reached break-in temperature and the gray film is pad material starting to transfer onto the rotor face. This is what you are looking for. The best braking occurs when there is an even layer of of pad material deposited across the face of the rotors. This minimizes squealing, increases braking torque, and maximizes pad and rotor life.

MotoGP might well be the highlight of the year for us motorcyclists, when we make the pilgrimage to one of the best racing circuits in the world..

 

Ok, so its quite effortless for some of us now (ie the "Lets have lunch at Pagoh" gang), but at least we shouldn't stay in bedbug infested hotel right?

 

All discussion will be held during our endless makan/kopi sessions! :D

its good to plan early!!

 

Especially when the speed of travel between bikes has a higher standard deviation...
