Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 6: Uncle Rob Yukon Sets New Best ET!! (Bonus: BluePrint Engines Visit)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Once the tuning is complete and the vehicle is loaded with E85, head to the drag strip. Perform several quarter-mile runs to test the new tune and establish a baseline performance. The driver (Uncle Chet) attempts to improve his quarter-mile time. For maximum launch, hold the brake while applying throttle (brake boost) to build boost before releasing the brake. Experiment with different staging techniques, including fully staging and using neutral rev/brake boost, to achieve the best 60-foot and overall quarter-mile times. Keep track of elapsed time (ET) and trap speed (MPH) to monitor progress.

Goal: Achieve a personal best quarter-mile time by refining launch techniques and testing the E85 tune.

Tools and materials

  • Drag Strip Kearney Raceway — Testing quarter-mile times
  • Timing System — Measuring ET and MPH
  • Tire Gauge — Adjusting tire pressure for optimal traction

i don't know what's going to happen this will be interesting that was a good 60 foot i wonder what that was cheater what did you do nothing well what was your mom probably think i don't even know i wasn't looking at the dashboard i was looking at how back far you are i don't know but that was like i found i thought it was i found a new level of brake boost because it started to push and then it started to really go in it consider that just break boost [Music] oh man we got him good he has no idea he's gonna hear about this video and be like that freaking mofo look at that uncle chet got stoned by almost a full second did you tell him to suck it yet um we could i don't know i don't think i have i i told him i told him to suck it through the gopro which suck at 2060 foot yeah um 82 in the eighth 103 in the quarter and this this is still garbage da it's still 5400 da which is terrible i i really think in this configuration practically ran a 12. yeah this is going to be a 12-second truck in a normal circumstance but i can break boost a lot harder
