New PB 1/4 mile this time!! Well a little story first, we tow 90 miles, get to thew track. The wind is blowing so damn hard they tell us no 1/4 mile today only 1/8 mile...I was not happy. 35 mph headwind straight down the track.
NO track prep, it rained the last 2 days and cancelled there reg programs, temp is about 60 degrees when we get there. WIND IS HOWLING!
Off the trailer
60 foot 1.58
ET 7.07@97
Well I work my way to here:
60 foot 1.46 (BEST EVER)
et 6.93@ 97.6(BEST EVER)
Starts getting dark, wind is laying down a little. Still 15+ mph headwind. And they turn on the 1/4 mile clocks.
Best of the day
60 foot 1.46
1/8 6.93@97.6
1/4 10.95@122.7
All on pumpgas, through full exhaust(no cutout) on drag radials. JUST like I street drive it. 3700+lbs
WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
I see a high 10.80 when I get a day with no headwind!!!!!!!!!

I put 465 miles on the car in 3.5 days at a cruise in Mississippi in Oct. So its got its street cred.
Yes is a 4L60E
Thanks guys, I may take it to a different track Wed night and see if it will do better without a headwind.

Nice!!, I'm young and I know if you have a trailer use it. It sucks when you break at the track and don't have a way to get the car home. So, I trailer mine everytime.

Nice times for a street car N/A what was the D/A?
I find with my car with a headwind I seem to lose mph but the et doesnt really change much

Seems if it slows down MPH ET would suffer.
The math on the 6.93 is a 10.88, think the 15 mph headwind is worth .08?
Nah no video, I may take it to Gulfport Ms Wed night and a buddy can video it.
Weather wont be as good, but the no headwind.
DA? Prolly 500 feet. Was in the low 50's, HIGH humidity.
Look up Hattiesburg Miss yesterday at 5:30 pm.
