of course. Time for a good driveshaft. I had no idea the car would get up on the brake like that......last year it was on the brake for 10secs and only got 3psi. Yesterday it was ready to rock at 9 psi in 2.3 secs.
Now David in the Supra was the one to watch...9.93!!!!!!!!! I better kick the turdinator in the *** or he is gonna pass me!!!!!
Dave it looks like #2 and #7 with your misfires.....

I came so close to breaking into the 11s yesterday..
Ran a 12.0 at 118 with horrible 60 foot times.
Cam and Intake/header only stock geared car on good year street tires, I went back for the last run of the day Ron @vengeance was taping it for me hopeing id break into the 11s as well as some friends and haters of mine were watching and I totally bombed the last run.. Popped out of 1st because it wasnt fully locked in on the launch
Oh well I had a blast!
I feel bad for the guy that had the vette with the same tires i did that smacked the wall.. Hes had bad luck with a first he broke a rocker arm a month ago and now the wall...
Oh and next time, No bikes... They cost us all an extra run with the hour downtime oiling the whole track

My car made 405RWHP at vengeance before the Ported Fast 90 90 I had a weiand metal intake when it made 405 and it kept heat soaking so I really felt a gain when I swapped it in. If i had to guess Id estimate 420RW i didnt have the intake install dynoed just street tuned.
I was really wanting to see 11.99 atleast, There was one run I did where I knew I had to of hit it but the guy in the tower screwed up and cleared the time. This was the run I didnt get a slip for That little import thing is rwd and pretty damn fast it ran a low 13
the 12.0 flat run had a '60 ft time of 1.913 1/8mile of 7.860
Had I of pulled a 60 ft of like 1.8x It would have definately hit
I race once a year at the track and that was the 1 time this year so the driver mod and corvette wheel hop owns me.
Ill be back with more

Wheel hop was owning me as well. The only decent pass I had all day was my last one...I went 11.65@125mph w/ a 1.91 60'. That pretty much blows when you consider the fact that I was running on DR's. I saw you run a couple of times....your car sounds real good. What catback are you running?

People liked the way it sounded going down the track, but with those stock gm mufflers it sounds almost stock at idle nothing like the wild cars that were getting loads of attention
