Default Atco rocked this friday.

Too bad on the last run the driver of the black WS6 with welds decided to leave it in 2nd after the burn out and run a 13.1 I still can't believe I did that. Anyways. It rained around 9 to shut everything down despite my praying big time to the Trans Am Gods to make it stop.

12.316 @ 113.48 (54 degrees, 95% humidity, Baro. 29.25)
12.256 @ 113.93 (54 degrees, 97% humidity, Baro. 29.36)
12.210 @ 114.73 (53 degrees, 100% humidity, Baro. 29.25)
12.166 @ 114.86 (52 degrees, 100% humidity, Baro. 29.36)
12.171 @ 114.55 (52 degrees, 100% humidity, Baro. 29.25)

The first 3 and the last 2 were all hot-lapped. I got a new best 60' since I got the slicks/skinnies last season on my 12.17 run. I got a 1.818. That's pretty amazing considering I still have the stock TC.


It seems that every time I try for a new best something always happens. First I didn't get the pulley on in time, then I got a flat slick, and now I screw up my last run before it starts raining. All I need is one night with nice weather where nothing happens to me. I did have fun despite my stress level trying to brake into the 12.0s.

The good news is the UPS guy came today and brought me my BMR torque arm and K-member.

Thanks man! Awesome times, and doing it through cats too. Very impressive. I guess I need to do some more weight removal and try again even though the weather has been less than desireable lately. It was 88* here today around noon. Not racing weather really.

Hey,

You were running real good Friday.

How much Hp did the dyno tuning get you?

Have you weighed the car w/ the stuff removed?

Thanks.

Well, SLP neglected to tell me my gains from the dyno tuning. I haven't gotten the car weighed since before I got my slicks/skinnies, but I will try to soon.
