The Track and Its Challenges

Calvin's experience on the track is nothing short of impressive. Despite the challenges posed by the track itself, he remains focused and determined to achieve his goals. "It looks like the track's even worse than it was yesterday," he observes, noting that the conditions may make it more difficult for competitors to perform well.

As we discuss Calvin's approach to racing, he emphasizes the importance of being different from the competition. "We just gotta try to be different than everybody now," he advises.

With access to the data from previous rounds, Calvin is able to analyze his performance and make informed decisions about how to improve. "I'm gonna look at it uh what's your what's your butt tell you where you can," he asks, seeking our input on the data.

Our conversation highlights the importance of data analysis in high-performance racing. By examining the data from previous rounds, Calvin is able to identify areas for improvement and make adjustments to his car accordingly. "We got a lot more yeah yeah i mean like that was just the confidence booster from doing all the changes we made last night," he says, acknowledging the impact of their recent modifications on their performance.

The Future of Racing and Spark Plugs

As our conversation comes to a close, Calvin shares with us his thoughts on the future of racing. With a focus on pushing the limits of what's possible, he remains committed to achieving excellence in the world of high-performance driving.

pro charged only 17 000 miles on this car with brand new ccws and 10 000 cash head on over to 1320video.com every dollar you spend is three entries this week only i almost forgot to tell you guys about our new c5 corvette shirt that we just dropped so make sure to pick one up before we run out that looked good in the heat of the day the trap laying down at 372 in the heat of the day that is not an easy feat at all that might be the quickest pass of that session i didn't see all of them but that's not easy to do nice workouts here with calvin franco lights out 13. this beautiful camaro i keep staring at this car tell me where you got the body from what the brendan is on the car uh it's actually uh timmy games body got it but you know 70 camaro it's they're they're not a good-looking car right you don't like it no i really like my opinions i like the little split bumper up front oh yeah it looks good just overall but trying to make one of these look good was really hard you know we got uh working crazy he did all the graphic design work for us uh yeah that made it really really look nice yeah it's a timmy games chassis uh todd buckner did all the fabrication work on it pretty much lightweight 872 world's fastest 872. 872. that's a massive engine yeah we've gone 369 at 200 that's the fastest but we just hit 202 today at uh i think it was 372 we went so yeah i think you were the quickest car in the past the previous session that was impressive yeah i mean uh we weren't expecting that because we've been struggling all week but uh hopefully this uh turns our luck around how much are uh how much you're screening on this thing oh well we got six systems we're spraying four systems sprayed four on that one so how much horsepower is that good for the four kids probably got around 28 2900 horsepower you know i gotta ask you one thing i was standing right behind the car on that last pass i love how the suspension works on these well most of the cars here can you explain a little bit about why the back end lifts up so much yeah just pretty much have a whirling setup and how the way we run the suspension what we're doing is we're trying to separate the rear end to plant the tire as hard as we can pretty much switch the tire into the ground and apply as much power we can in 60 feet that's how a nitrous car is gonna run in right it's so wild to watch because how much does it lift up in the back unit uh yeah it goes about nine eight oh it's like it's like eight and three quarters eight inches from what it sits on the starting line to when you're done in the run yeah by around 60 foot to about 100 feet out it's pretty much all the way topped out it's crazy to see what it takes to run mid threes up upper threes in these stars if we can get down there we'll be uh really happy yeah you're almost to the 60s i'm excited to see if you can do it tonight yeah absolutely good luck man performance on board in the left leg talking to calvin earlier about the rear end suspension separation going down the track we've got a gopher underneath here so you can see exactly what it does in three seconds in the 60s as promised there we go oh man nice nice that looked good that was beautiful isn't it crazy how it does that i i just keep staring at the back end of the racetrack it's such a cool he told me he wanted that 60. wow that was nice thank you thank you i bet that felt great it felt the fast ones always feel slow yeah yeah i don't know we'll find another thing now too where the car kind of appears a little bit but i think it's just i noticed that i think it's the we just need to line the steering wheel i think it's just me holding the wheel you know i'm like we changed the front struts before we got here and we haven't really messed with the steering but i was telling him i was like i feel like the car doesn't really drive like that it drives itself you know what i mean realistically i'm just the dummy lego in the butt doing pretty good so far that's for sure have you had a chance to look at the data yet no i'm going to look at it uh what's your what's your butt tell you where you can we got a lot more yeah yeah i mean like that was just the confidence booster from doing all the changes we made last night oh yeah doing the big swing so today we should be able to what all did you change uh we changed the pump side up in a converter which is huge it's not like doing a state of change change you know 100 200 rpm you know you can only do a standard chain so far to where you can't make big jumps like what we're making we're trying to go for a thousand rpm difference and where it is grabbing with so the only way to do it is to change the pump size and kilometer yeah so what's your goal for the next few rounds how quick do you think it'll go a to b's uh i think if we could do try to do a 60 68 67 in the heat of the day it'll be pretty tough for these guys to keep up i mean we'll all be that's pretty much all you're going to be able to get in the day so you gotta buy first round yes sir nice yeah you gotta keep chipping away at that that hot track tune yeah i'm gonna try something let's see what it does probably just take it 3 30. unless it feels good it looks like the track's even worse than it was yesterday it looked worse i don't know on that hit i think they're running fives well everybody did that yesterday too that's true but yeah we just gotta try to be different than everybody now all right thank you calvin running at 372 in the heat of the day yesterday but today today it looks a little bit easier let's see if we can keep all right who you got this round uh the wild contraption over there yeah project x yeah we're gonna just try to go uh palm 60 right now bottom 60. slowing down just a little bit but that's still a solid pass going on the third round yeah yeah lock up the lock up two didn't work out so well no the valve was leaking i heard it inside the car at the top end oh so when it actuated it uh it was just dumping prior and then the valve got stuck look at the data see what the hell happened but yes on to round two tomorrow's going to be playing the challenge gonna be a good uh you think it'll be one or two rounds under the sun superchargers i think they're gonna do two rounds they have to because we got to be done all right looking forward to it see you guys tomorrow hey thank you morning how are you doing good well it's not not sunny i guess there's that what do you think the track's gonna be like this morning i think it's gonna be good a little bit of moisture in there are you racing here in third round okay you know what you qualified i with it was bottom 60 for the 60 flat or something like that so you need that bottom 60 or one last night yeah right here we're gonna have to definitely give it to it eight cars left yeah all right good luck all right thank you very much calvin and the trap coming up for third round unfortunately trap not making it through the third round bang that was a good race side by side threes calvin going a little bit slower today what a badass car though i love watching that rear suspension separate especially on that one yeah it just looked amazing damn ran on seven cylinders where'd it go so just for people that aren't familiar with spark plugs what does it mean when you pull one out it looks like that means that you're not firing you're not burning anything it's not doing it just spraying fuel on it not igniting exactly it's just going out raw fuel so that's why it looked like it was dieseling pretty bad going down the track oh okay you want a 80 something on seven cylinders yeah i don't even know eight not something pretty wild here what do we do 88 on seven cylinders on a 188 388 on seven cylinders that is just unreal these cars make so much power to go that quick just unbelievable appreciate you guys watching that's gonna do it for this video make sure to subscribe if you haven't
