Default 1st 1/4 mile pass' in the low 12s

Went to Zmax tnt in Charlotte last night and didn't do too bad. I knew I would be in the 12s from my lackluster 8.0 (run out of gear) 1/8th mile times. My clutch was slipping just a bit in each gear and my friend said I was spinning, but a 3 grand launch netted me a 1.8 60'. Here's the rest:

1st pass 1.836 60' 7.908 1/8th 12.221 1/4 @ 114.53

My second pass was in a lot colder weather and I believe the track was going away. I launched @ 4500 but the tires couldn't hold on to the track(which I hear wasn't prepped that great). I had to feather it, got a little sideways, and still picked up on the back end.

2nd pass 2.139 60' 8.169 1/8th 12.470 1/4 @ 114.68

Both of these passes were side step drops on a stock clutch and of course powershifts. I went thru the lights at 6100 in 4th.

Hopefully I'll be getting a cam and clutch in the next few months with accompanying mods but I won't have enough for a 9" so guess the dragstrip runs will be limited or obselete.

looks like you were wearing slicks that day...I was so excited it was my 1st time running the 1/4, I forgot to pull out of the water box before I did my burnouts. I'm sure there's more left with dry tires...Doh!!!
