Default 11.07@122.2 New Best NA

The temperature was in the low 50's and the humidity was pretty high, cause there was dew on all the cars. Either way my car ran strong and really impressed me. First couple of passes were 11.21 and 11.20 with the car spinning like crazy, with two 1.61 60fts. My previous best was an 11.25@120 with a 1.54 60ft.

Well here is the run down of the run:

1.51 60ft
7.01 1/8
11.07@122 1/4 mile

I would have run again but the track shut me down because of no cage and no jacket. The first of the year I will be headed to Rivercity Raceway, shooting for a ten.

Hey you ain't kidding man. I have the cage here already, but I have not taken it out of the box yet, cause after feeling how heavy it really is I think I changed my mind. Might end up selling the cage.

Did you get the Chromoly cage? It isn't that heavy. 65# the mild steel is only 80#. Put the cage in and be legal. Put a K-Member in to compensate for the weight.

What is your weight? I am hoping to run deep 11's like you when I'm done but I don't want to gut out the car to do it.

The last time I weighed my car it weighed 3160lb without me in it. I weigh around 180lbs, so you can do the math. The cage I got is the 6pt bolt in, and it is the mild steel. I would like to put the cage in, but I am still debating on parting the car out and selling it. If this passes then a K-member is definetly in order.
