Default Got alittle faster 12.38@109.36

Kinda happy and upset. Happy that I did that in 90* weather. Upset that it was only a tiny bit faster than on DR's. I guess the hook made up for the lack of power. Best 3 passes I had were....

60ft- 1.62 (somewhere north of 6800rpm, was looking at the tree)
1/8- 7.89
mph- 86.77
1/4- 12.38
mph-109.36

That pass was later in the day after a good cool down. Slicks were at 12psi. Sam said I carried both fronts.

60ft- 1.65 (6k dump, 15psi)
1/8-7.92
mph-86.58
1/4- 12.42
mph-109.64

First pass of the day. Left lane. Spun pretty good.

Next pass Mars302 came up to me in the staging lanes and asked what lane I'm going in so he can take a pic. So I said the right lane. Did a good burnout and slicks were at 11psi.

60ft- 1.600 (came off the limiter at 7100rpms )
1/8- 7.89
mph- 86.07
1/4- 12.42
mph- 108.72

So come some good weather I might get a 12.0x or maybe a 11.99 if I take some more weight of the front end. I had a great time. -Mark

Yep...I saw the fronts come up for sure......looked great! I think in excellent weather you will hit that 11.99. It was bad out there for NA cars.

Great times for your mods...next time you will get that 11 you have been wanting. Good air will be here pretty soon and i will also be shooting for the 11's. Hopefully we can both get lucky with some great air on Oct 23rd if your going to the event at BMP.

Congrats. That weather was nice, wasn't it? On my pass the car ran the cleanest it ever has, left the straightest it ever has, then missed my best by 6 hundreths. I think we're both looking forward to cooler weather Oh well, at least Jeremy got us some cool pics out of it (sig)
