Default Finally saw 12's on my Time Slip

Well,
I am finally in the 12's. Went to Carlsbad to get better air, but the DA today was around 1400. Last time we went there, it was a 200 DA.

I need to get some better suspension to eliminate wheel hop, because it is getting out of control.

1st Run
60 ft - 2.298 (ouch!!!)
330 ft - 5.912
1/8 ET - 8.742
1/8 MPH - 86.79
1/4 ET - 13.147
1/4 MPH - 112.42

2nd Run
60 ft - 2.074
330 ft - 5.542
1/8 ET - 8.367
1/8 MPH - 86.63
1/4 ET - 12.791
1/4 MPH - 111.37

3rd Run
60 ft - 2.077
330 ft - 5.586
1/8 ET - 8.397
1/8 MPH - 87.19
1/4 ET - 12.801
1/4 MPH - 111.96

I know that I should be quicker and faster, but I am a big guy and it takes a lot to be me going, but I can finally say that my car is a 12 second car. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Congrats on hitting the 12s. I know what you mean about the wheel hop. I am fighting it right now.

Congrats, saw your car there. Did you have an SES light or something go off ? I was in the 30th parked next to you in the pits. Next time I'll stop over and say "hi". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Happy driving,
