11's or bust?.......... It was bust. lol
First off I'd like to thank Dave(big one), Dave (little one), Jomar, Shawn, and Dave's friend who I didn't get his name, sorry. These guys helped my get my car on the trailer. Thanks guys. Now onto the carnage.
Track prep was awesome. First pass off the trailer isn't always my best pass. It's usually the 2nd one. But this track day it was my best pass cause it was my only pass.
Here's what it did....
R/T: .230
60': 1.570 (6800rpm launch)
330': 4.910
1/8: 7.664
mph: 88.91
1000: 10.048
1/4: 12.045 Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mph: 112.27
I saw the time and 60' when I read the ticket so I hot lapped it and got back in the staging lanes. Lower the tire pressure and did a longer burnout. Staged and this time I told myself to really let this one fly. Light comes down, floored it, tapped the limiter (7100 rpms) and let her rip. It bit hard. Dave(little one) said that my driver front could of fit a 2 liter coke bottle under it. Well come time to shift into 2nd and well it didn't. Blew the clutch disk so aborted the run.
R/T: .115
60ft: 1.543
I knew it would of been a 1.4 60ft since I have to shift into 2nd before the 60ft. But oh well. I guess 11's will have to wait. All in all I still got a new best out of it. -Mark

Congrats on the new best.
Put a RAM in it... I dont know how mine was holding when I pulled the motor... The disk was almost completely smooth and it was still holding, on the bottle.

Only a tenth slower than me, and I probably have 100 more hp, and 200 more tq, your car rides out for sure! Granted my clutch was letting the engine spin to the limiter all the way down the track,

I felt the same pain trying to go 11's all motor. I ran four runs in a row a few years ago on a cold Decemeber mornig and got 12.02 on all four slips ! And all of the mph' were in the 113's too. Joe from Fordspeed and Derek were there watching me tear my hair out.
Don't worry you will get there, just don't give up on it.
