Default Finally went 50s!

Went down to LVD for a rental friday, air was good -600 to -700 DA but car didnt seem to want to MPH at that track, I will say at the beginning of the day that track was like glue! did set a new best there though..

-662 DA
60 Foot Time: 1.567 <-Insane
330 Foot Time: 4.713
1/8 Mile Time: 7.370
1/8 Mile MPH: 92.29
1000 Foot Time: 9.663
1/4 Mile Time: 11.602
1/4 Mile MPH: 116.07

Also went
-662 DA
60 Foot Time: 1.582
330 Foot Time: 4.740
1/8 Mile Time: 7.400
1/8 Mile MPH: 92.40
1000 Foot Time: 9.693
1/4 Mile Time: 11.634
1/4 Mile MPH: 115.97

-688 DA
60 Foot Time: 1.612
330 Foot Time: 4.765
1/8 Mile Time: 7.427
1/8 Mile MPH: 92.25
1000 Foot Time: 9.724
1/4 Mile Time: 11.667
1/4 Mile MPH: 115.92

Car stuck good at first after that it wouldnt 60' and didnt want to mph. Ended up taking the seats out but the 60 just wasnt there to get another best.

I was invited up to NED for Saturday and said screw it going for broke! And glad I did! MPH went back to normal at NED despite not as good of air. Track wasnt as sticky at its best but held out the entire day, much more consistent.

Race weight was 3530#

1000 Foot Time: 9.635
1/4 Mile Time: 11.549
1/4 Mile MPH: 117.68

Very pleased with this, there is more left in this car, it needs rear suspension, its out of square which is hurting it with the spool. got a dragging rear caliper and all four rotors are warped to hell. The 60 foots are very impressive and can only get better with a drag bar, double adjustable rear shocks, tubular torque arm, LCAs & PHB, plus consistency! I can only imagine but im thinking mid to low 1.5 60s all out.

Ill be back at NED wednesday shooting for a 49. I refuse to take anything else out of it and considering putting the seats back in because i prefer street trim.

Yeah I did, honestly im dissapointed with the time. it went 11.549 @ 117.68 saturday -283 DA. last night it went 11.508 @ 117.91 -1900 DA. I couldnt set my tire pressure because the air compressor at the track was removed and the 2 step is also cutting fuel on the shifts. Live and learn.

She comes off the line hard! I agree some suspension will help a lot. Nice work!
