11.58 on street tires
Ran at a great track (RT 66, Joliet, IL), just for the hell of it I ran on my street tires. These are 245/50/16 all season Generals and they are hard as a rock.
After a couple passes to see if I could hook at all I was suprised that I was cutting low 1.8s. Got a little more aggressive on the next couple passes.
11.801 @ 119.12 (1.88)
11.670 @ 119.25 (1.79)
11.609 @ 119.33 (1.74)
and the last pass
11.58 @ 119.36 (1.73)
Scale said the car weighed 3450#, haven't figured the DA yet. Is this a record or something? Has anyone gone faster on a 245 tire?

Well, they didn't say anything after that. So, I figured I would keep my foot in it untill they kicked me out, but they didn't.
