Default 12.2 @ 118mph

well i ran a 12.2 last night with bad traction problems through second gear
60FT- 2.050 {best of night}
330ft- 5.383
1/8 - 8.079
mph - 92.66
1000ft - 10.374
1/4 - 12.2
mph - 118
Also this track is known to be 1-2 tenth's slow but i still think if i could get some bite i would be deep in 11's. What do ya think???

Our times are very similar and traction is not our friend... bfg drag radials..275-40-17's... trapping out at 118 is flying at low 12's.... your 60 ft needs some work...practice your clutch dumps and redlight it a couple times... thats how i got it a little better.. 2 cents...frank

Cool, you finally got some #s Shawn. Nice mph, but I'm sure there's more. This was at Island? Why is it said to be slow ? I plan to go Oct 8th- I want to run 7.7 or better @ 92+ in the 1/8th and I'll be all satisfied with my setup. Casey set me up with switching out my cats and Magnaflow to a dual/dual. Check out the pics of my new wheels:

You're a similar set up as me. Have you met Paul and them at OCC? They seem funny as hell. Are you on Nitto DRs?

I was hauling on the brakes to try to break 14 too bad (convertible and no roll bar). Earlier in the year I ran one 12.5 with a 8.13 1/8th... so -0.5 1/8th, sb 11.9-12.0 1/4... I would guestimate 113-113.5 mph....

You've got the power no doubt, got to get it to the ground..
