Video of my attempt to beat Motorweeks 1/4 mile.
Spent the morning of 4/8/2017 at Beaver Springs Dragway in Pennsylvania with my iQ. I managed to get 6 runs in before the CVT was too heat-soaked which resulted in my retirement to go home. Looks like I'll be needing a secondary small aluminum radiator before the CVT to aid in cooling.
PIn any case, I made my goal to beat Motorweeks best factory time of 17.4 @ 80mph (mostly). I managed a 17.348 @ 79.10mph with headwind gusts of 25mph (see weather reports for Beaver Springs 4/8/2017) and a gradual incline from the line to the traps of around 6-12 feet. Over all, I'm satisfied for a car with 94hp and 89tq @ 2140 (plus 250lb. 6'4" guy) and although a 16.999 would have been nice to see, I'm sure I'll manage it at some point in the future. Managed to record a video against an Evolution X, that somehow only managed a 16.091 @ 97mph to my 17.348 @ 79mph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZUZ...ature=youtu.be Any comments, feedback, questions, or otherwise are greatly appreciated!!!
