Default Results for Wed at Sunshine

Great night at the track. Also it was nice to meet some new people from TR that came out to get it on. I'm posting this so some of the guys from the track can post up. I ran a personal best for the 1/8th last night also.

.558 R/T
1.768 60FT
5.209 330
8.100 1/8th
85.54 MPH

Also nice meeting Plasma and Little Nicky. Plasma great job at the track last night. Very inpressive how that SVO runs. You have really done a nice job with the car. Love the Cobra wheels. They make the car.

Brett

Car looked good Brett and it was nice meeting you. My car on the other hand was running about 1/2 second and 7-8mph off what it normally does. I found out it was just my plugs are shot. Should be back in the 5.80's next week, hopefully hit a 5.70 something.

That thing still rides out even for having bad plugs. You certainly have one of the nicest cars out there. Nice meeting you also.

Thanks Vince, i'm still kind of craving some famous aimos cookies though. I'm not sure what your best time is but from talking to brett I know that we would be pretty close.

Next time I'm sure will be faster as I learn what this car likes. Every pass last time got faster and faster even though my car was running hotter then norm. Hopefully next time i'll be able to borrow a set of stickier tires and get my 60ft down and see how fast it goes.


Just out of curiousity what in all honesty did you think my 4cyl would run?

Yea me and you will be a good run. My best to date at 279.5/285 was 8.16 @ 86.6 with a 1.82 60ft with a terrible bog off the line which if you compare our timeslips you can see it in the times, now the power is 310/305. I figure without the bog and a 1.6-1.7 60ft I should be 7.70s @ 90mph (give or take a tenth and mph).

With a good 60ft your car definately has 7.90s in it with that trap speed.
