Default TNT tonight. I'm rusty and need some seat time.

A few of us went out to TRRP tonight. DA was 2600+ tonight. My best was an 11.75 at 118. Calculations show I should be running 11.2-3's in some good air. Overall the car ran great I think. I need some seat time for sure but, it'll come back quickly. Last time I actually raced the car was 4yrs ago. I can still row the gears but, my launch technique wasn't there tonight. I'll be ordering a better clutch soon. The LS7 can't hold up to the way I like to launch. It was very inconsistent. I was also on the stock tq arm due to lack of time to put the new UMI arm in. Was still cutting some 1.65 short times even though the car has been 1.5's in the past on a better tq arm.

Here's one pass I got a buddy to film with my phone. Best pass was an 11.75but the vid was an 11.85 pass. I spun some out the hole and when I hit 2nd.

Setup is Race P&P 241's, VRX4, QTP's, 9" w/4.11's, LS7 clutch, full UMI suspension (minus the tq arm), built M6, QA1's, Bogart GT's w/255/60/15 M/T radials. Car is still full interior with A/C. I think that's about it. It goes in for paint in 2 weeks thanks to a deer a few months ago so don't mind the front clip.

Considering stock T/A, those arent bad 60's ..the vid looked like a decent hook, and the clutch seemed to deliver!

Yeah the clutch was good for 4500rpm launches. I tried a 5500 and it didn't like it. Ill keep going on it til it wears out then get a better one.
