Default A new best 11.417@ 122.43

Went out to BMP today for the SFFBA - vrs - Badrap shootout. After waking up at 4 am and driving almost 160 miles <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I ended up having my best run yet. temp was mid to upper 80's I came out at 6K and that was it I pulled a 1.585 60" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> and ended up running a 11.417@ 122.43 <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" /> I was a little pissed because I was thinking of pulling the door panels and some other crap for some weight reduction right before the run and would have been in the 11.3's plus I forgot the short belt today <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> hopefully I can manage a 11.2 with some cooler weather and some weight reduction and the new K-member going in in a few weeks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Great times Mike. I like that 11.41 number too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> What is your race weight? What size tire are you running with those 4.56's and what rpm are you going thru the lights at. Congrats. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks guys.......
Vince, it was good to finally meet you I wish I could have went to the BBQ today but it was my grandma's 82 birthday so we had to bail after the race.....
Bruce the car weighs in the 3250 range with me in it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> looks like both of use are at the same numbers. I am running Hoosier QTP's 27x10.5x15 but they are the 9" wide im running 14lbs in them and im bouncing of the revlimiter going through the traps <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> I only have a HPP3 so my limiter is at 6600 <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />

Sweet Mike. I figured you would be turning a few rpm's with that gear. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Everybody is after me to put my car on a diet. 3520 with me in it. Get that limiter set up, you've got more in the car. Congrats. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
