Default Project Goodwill - FWD, 14b, 11's.

Today was Runday Sunday at the local track. They don't display times on Runday Sunday so it wasn't a big deal that my camcorder batteries were dead. We got the car unloaded and ran 12.30 @ 115 with a 1.93 60' right off the trailer. Boost was at 18psi so we figured we were looking good to turn it up and see what happens. After a few passes in the mid 12s, we managed a 12.28 but through all the passes we made, we couldn't get the boost higher than 18 psi. Frustrated, we decided to make one last pass and pulled off an 11.95 @ 117.09 with a 1.80 60' time. after that we loaded it up on the trailer and will be getting ready for Friday night at the next Tampa Racing Track Day.

Nice time, the mph is good for 11.50s ... running slicks? I'm guessing you were still spinning in first.

Yeah, we are running small slicks (22 x 8 on 15s) and an open differential for some one wheel peel action. We may go to some 24.5 x 8s soon and someday get a real diff. It spun some in 1st and second, but it felt like I really kind of bogged it a little. The track was hooking pretty well.

Congrats. Should be fun watching it run at the TR track day, I think I'll stop by and see if I can get some inspiration for further weight reduction while my car's apart- can't take it to Goodwill heights, sadly, I have to stick to the stock-appearing plastic-paneled interior in a street car.
