Thumbs up 10.990 @123.58 1.584 60'

Last race day of the year at NED. Figured I would take a ride up and try to crack 10s. The air was great! I'm very happy with the results.

DA was -1461
Raceweight is 3450-3500
275 40 17 all around. zr1 wheels and MT drs @20psi

4 passes...
11.1
11.0
10.990 best
11.1

Thanks Brian! Nahhh no plans for it. I reached the goal for the setup. For me to do anything else to it I need better funds. This economy is **** and cant stay busy. Then again, if I had the funds I would probably pick up a nice z06 like yours!

Sweeeeeet! Have to love that cool air. Make sure and do a nasty burnout to offset the cold track too man.

On the 10.9 pass I left just above idle. Seems like that's where this car likes it the best.
I tried one pass off idle and spun.
Tried 2500-3000 and did the 11.1s

On the 1.5 60' the car launched like a bastard. I wish someone videoed it cause im sure the tired caught a little lift!

Congrats on the 10 sec slip. Gotta love the good air, these cars sure do respond well to it. Looks like everything lined up for you to make that pass, 60 ft, 1/8th mile time, and trap speed all in line as it should be.

I'm just waiting for some of that good air down here in Southeast Texas. We get it a few times a year, just have to catch it on a weekend when the local tracks are running. Seems like all the stars don't align just right often enough.

I'm waiting for my 10 sec slip on motor as well. We had a light cool front last week, DA was around +550 ft and I managed a new best time last Friday night, Ran a 11.170 @ 121.59 mph on a 1.597 60 ft. If we can get some good neg DA air I think I can squeak in a high 10.9x pass also.

Hey thanks!
Yes they do. I have data from when my car was just botons with stock stall, ss3600, then h+c. A bunch of different weather scenarios. Its crazy what DA will do.
Looks like you will be very close man hopefully you get it. I know its a lot different as far as DA goes in Texas!

Yeah, we get the good air a few times a year. Ours usually comes in Jan & Feb when the strong cold fronts blow through down here. We get neg 1100 ft or so a few times and have seen neg 2000 ft before, but to catch it on a racing weekend is rare. I am in Southeast Texas about 100 miles from Houston right on the gulf coast, so we are only 10ft above sea level. Just looking for that 45-50 deg night with 30.30-30.40 barometric pressure and low humidity. Then its on!

I run at a local country track "Ben Bruce Memorial Raceway ", or make the 80 mile drive over to the old Houston Raceway Park which is now "Royal Purple Raceway" and it is usually a pretty good track if you get there before all the street tire cars show up.

I know what you mean man. I drive from Ct to NH 280 miles round trip (No trailer) so I hate wasting my time. Damn those water box draggers lol

That's because I usually only go racing in good air when I know I can get a PB. I don't drive 280 miles to beat the **** out of the car for nothing bro LOL
What do you mean you WISH you had that DA? You are farther north than I am lol

Exactly. Of course it had to turn into one of those threads lol. I guess we are the only ones who go for PBs in cooler air? lol

Yeah it is very humid. It rolled into Ct yesterday. My chrome wheels got a haze on them when that wall of humid air came. Thanks man!
