Just got back in about half an hour ago <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Here are the conditions:
Temp: 52
Baro 994KPA
humidty: (Not positive but it was sporadically sprinkling on us all day) when I left this morning it was at 62% but it wasnt sprinkling then <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Track elevation: 600 feet
Very little wind.. (Cross wind/tailwind picked up in the afternoon)

(I will try and compute the DA shortly)

Car weight with my 200 pound carcass: 3470

All runs with airfilter and through the FULL EXHAUST (No open Cutout)

Items removed: Jack, spare, front pass seat, rear seats, rear panels, back half of carpet, AC, EGR, AIR, Cruise and foglights

Ran with 3/4 tank of gas (DOH) didn't realize I would burn to little on the way to the track

28 inch slicks with 9 psi (also tried 26 inch ET streets at 11psi)

Got to the track and teched no problem. Watched a couple of cars make some shakedown passes and noticed NOBODY was hooking. 9 second cars sixty footing in the 1.6-1.7 range LOL!

Best sixty foot on 28x10 inch Hoosier slicks: 1.79 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
Best ET: 11.78
best mph: 122.60mph!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I was BLOWN away by the awesome mph. Ran 4 passes all over 122mph through the FULL exhaust!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Needless to say I was thrilled! Once I get this car to hook to the tune of 1.5x sixty's low 11's should be cake.

Things I still can/need to do:
shortbelt mod
Check out my torque arm and get it set again to -3 degrees pinion angle.
Get a new valve in my RR airbag (RR Airbag was leaking and not working)
What excites me about todays runs especially mph is that I still have an easy 150 pounds to take out of the car if I so desired. (both bumper supports, pass airbag, Dynabatt, K-Member, A-Arms, lighter rims, take out rest of carpet etc.

Thanks to Nick, Wade, Barry and the rest of the guys at ARE in providing such a great package. There is a lot more to come!

Cheers,
Chris

ps- It was great meeting 98 Gold Formula and a couple of other guys from the list and board. Hope to meet up with you all again soon!

Excellent MPH! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Now learn how to drive. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It's not as easy to be a stab & steer guy as you thought. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You need to drive down to Cecil tommorrow. I'll bet the DA will be awesome for May and they know where to apply the VHT. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Congrats, Chris! Your 60' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> and your mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> tell the whole story. Lots left in that there package !!!!!!!!!!!

JPR

Well you sure are running the MPH! Get that 60' number and you have your low 11's in the bag! Having no traction with that kind of power suucks!

CHRISPY

Thanks JS I was really happy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Mine is the standard 200R no T-Brake.

On a sad note just after I left the track one of the F-bods (Vince) crashed on a nine second pass. Went over the wall at approx 140mph... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Driver was ok but the car is in hard shape...
I think he went 9.93@135mph BACKWARDS through the lights and went over the wall at around 140mph. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> !!!

Thank GOD for safety equipment!

Good luck Frosty.
