Another new best to end the season!
Went down to Cecil today to try and get a few more passes in before the season it out. It was cold and overcast but the track had decent bite when we go there.
First pass
1.78 60 foot
12.308@110
Within .008 of my best ever with a slower 60 foot time. I knew .20s were possible
Next pass
1.71 60 foot
12.305@110
UGH 60 foot was better but the car backfired on the 1-2 shift and it slowed me a bit. I was starting to think 12.30s were all I was going to see.
Next race I was up against my friend Bob in his low 12 sec turbo 2007 V6 Mustang. He had run back to back 12.0s so I knew he had me covered but it would be a race.
Nailed the tree with a .008 light and launched at 5000 rpms
1.69 60 foot
12.239@110.81!!!!!
I am THRILLED with that time! You could not wipe the smile off my the rest of the day. I tried one more pass with a 6000 rpm launch but it blew the tires off so I aborted the run.

Should have a video of the run up later tonight

Wow! Nice runs! Looking at your other threads, you've a very lightly modded GT too. gears, driveshaft, control arms, intake, exhaust, tune, and sticky tires.... You sure you don't have nitrous hidden in there? 
Looks like you had a good finish to the day too... he was starting to pull on you in the last 1/8th. Can't wait for the video!

Thankfully we left early and made it home before anything started. Cecil was dead so we got plenty of passes in and were only there for a few hours. About 2 hours after I got home the snow came but the car was safely away in the garage by that point.
