Went to cecil with the crew Saturday

Did some weight reduction (!seats, !back hatch panels !borla rear section

this along with better air and a good alignment rewarded me with a

11.299 @ 123.80 mph and a 11.285 @ ???

both were on 1.64 60-foots. the mph timer messed up on the 11.28 giving me some wacky mph...but I beleive the time since it was on par with my other runs of the day. All in all I'm pleased that my 3500 lb slug went 124 mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I'm going to try some other things this week and take it back next Saturday <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Sweet runs man <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Looks like the weight reduction helped out. Have you changed to some light weight carpet? 30lbs for $30 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

LOL...Was pretty cool to see Brian car pull the wheels up when he hit second.

iTrader: (21)

yeah...I'm still haveing serious traction issues so I had my shocks on ultra soft which causes a bit of bouncing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'm going saturday just to dick with launch rpm, tire pressure and shock settings. If I have a bad launch I'll just coast down the track LOL

Must find them coach 60-foots <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Glad you were able to get it sorted out. I think I'm 1 of maybe 3 people there who didn't get a new best <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

I'm running 28x10x15 Hoosier slicks. I'm going to try a different approach saturday. Lower the launch rpm and use more tire pressure to keep it from bogging. I'm thinking the 60s may improve and the reduced rolling resistance of higher tire pressure will help it mph better to boot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Good job, Brian! Do you think that 60' can be improved upon? What tires do you run?

BTW, you missed my post about ABS-delete in the Drivetrain forum, so unfortunately, I had to drop you a couple of points on the RAGEman's Heroes Leaderboard, but you're still #2 behind Colonel Sanders. Raughammer used to be #2, but I think he fell off the face of the Earth, so I'm putting you in the #2 slot for now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
