Thought I would share, I'm pretty happy with myself. I started off really easy on her and I cut a 13.9 with a 2.5 60 foot @ 103, and my last run I ran a 13.1 flat with a 1.8 60 @ 106.4 on street tires I'm pretty psyched I know i'm breaking into the 12's no problems next weekend. Until I got my 60' dialed in I was actually hitting 108-9 for a few runs, but with a bad 1/4 time. Time for some suspension and driver mods

It's one of those "11 second car with a 14 second driver" situations, i'll get there and i'm recording all my data for my tuner also, so I can get her running perfect!

 

AWESOME! I love the track... when there's no snow

 

It was my first, but it seems rather addicting. I see why everyone goes all the time, kind of what I was afraid of we don't have the snow problem as much down here, we get ice if anything for a few days.

 

Still waiting on the high res ones, thought I'd share

 

nice runs. Looks like your front tire is leaning in at the top a tad?

 

I thought that to looking at the pictures, but it's his camera. Don't quite understand it

 

i Would have thought you were running 12.5's with what you have done with the car. You probably can with the traction

 

The car had a lot more, i've never driven at a track, or very aggressively with the car to be honest. I'll get there

 

nice runs, the track is definately addicting..that being said, take your time, and work your way into it, I've seen a few people get in waaay over their head, and do some damage

 

That's why I haven't pushed her yet. No need in getting in a hurry at this point spent to much time/money

 

Your ET will tell you how well you're hooking and shifting...... your MPH will tell you your overall power output (to some degree) and shouldn't change too much from run to run, although your ET can be all over the place. Will be interesting to see what your top MPH is once you've gone a couple of times.

 

I hit 109.6 on a run, but my 60ft was crap and it was a 13.6 it really puzzled me, 110 is usually well into the 12's

 

That's what I mean....... last year when I had crappy BFG drag radials, I was running 12.4s to 12.6s at 118mph. Get that, 118 mph...... almost every run was 118, but my ETs were horrible because I was not hooking at launch (actually not in the first three gears).

This year, changed to M&H 325s and now can drop the clutch at 4500rpm at launch, which will pull the driver's tire off the track. 60s are now in the 1.7 to 1.8 range (still need lots of practice) but ETs are 11.7s and 11.8s, all at 119. I think I have a dozen consecutive slips all at 119 mph, I couldn't hit 120 if my life depended on it LOL.

This is when I was at 450/450, not the 501/455.

 

Well i'm still short of that, but I also can't lunch with these street tires over 2400 with spinning for forever or below it without bogging, and i'm still trying to find that perfect shift before 7200

 

You'll get it, with more practice......... Good luck.

 

Appreciate it man, same to you!
