Default NPB Today

First time at the track with the new set up in my cobra and I'm pretty happy. Despite the crappy weather and track conditions at BMP ran a 12.56@122mph. There is definitely more in it. Can't wait for cooler weather and some slicks. Also like to say thanks to Race Related for my sweet setup!

MPH is there for some great e/t's - what was your 60' on that run. Like a 1.8 or so?

Congrats on the NPB.

I figured you were going to be purrrty close to the 2.0 range in the 60' er with that kinda MPH at the big end.

I agree with /\ - pics and info on setup

I don't have any pics but I will take some. As for the setup it is a stock 01 continental motor with a single T67 set at 11psi. The car still has stock clutch and tranny which I know won't last long when I put slicks on it.

I run nittos 275/40/17 but I just can't get them to hook up. I hear alot of good things about the M/T so I'll probably get them.
