Default New best

A bunch of us EFA guys rented MIR today. Thanks Dave for setting it up. I'm starting to figure out how to drive my car with H/C and a clutch that doesn't slip. It was cool and humid, raining from time to time. Race weight of my car is 3520 lbs.
60'-1.61
1/8- 7.31
1/8 mph- 95.88
1/4 11.41
1/4 mph- 121.14

I'm very happy with my TEA heads and XER cam. Got a 1.58 60', 11.46 @ 120.44 run in as well. Wish I had the short belt on for that run, might have gotten a 11.3X with that 60'. Still have a few more things to do, the car has more in it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Quicker times are coming soon. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Man.. everyone has left Bolt on land! Guess it's just Larry and me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Awesome for the first time out on the new combo... Was that also the first time out on ET Streets?

Now it's time for a little weight reduction <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Thanks Coach, JS, Vince,John and Larry.

John I've had the ET Streets on for a little while. Probably made 10 runs on them when I was bolt on and about 15 with heads and cam. They seem to be getting better with use. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> At the end of the day yesterday I was launching at 5000 rpm and getting 1.61, 1,60, 1.58 60' times. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Tell you what those ET Streets killed the stock clutch in a hurry. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Glad I got the Mcloed in there now.

Shoot John I'm still looking under rocks in my yard to pay for all these mods. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Nobody said this habit was cheap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That was a great EFA event, Bruce. Nice runs. Any car there on Friday has more in it. We had temperature and track prep in our favor, but we also had 100% humidity. Catch that killer DA day at Cecil and you'll be running LOW 11's for sure. Nice driving!!
