Default Finally 12s

Haven't been to the strip in 2+ years, 1st time running the car after installing the cam. Hot weather (Temp was in the 90s), track was a bit slippery and I was on street tires, but still had a blast!

Ran consistently at the end of the day (12.89 - .85 - .79) and this was my last and best run of the day:

60' - 2.245
330 - 5.719
1/8 - 8.486
MPH - 88.88
1000 - 10.837
1/4 - 12.798
MPH - 120.33

Need to work on traction now...

You trapped 120 mph with only 88.88 mph at 1/8th mile? Strange.

I think it may be your shift points Stark... I was shortshifting her earlier in the day and trapping ~112... When I got down to business, traps jumped to 118-120

Your right, i was shortshifting most of the day as it was my first time at the track. On my last pass, i gained a full second by not going into 4th. Your runs against Jason was FUN AS HELL to watch tho!!

Hahah, yeah they were fun! When I saw him miss 3rd, I thought I was finally gonna get him! I saw how fast I started reeling him in... close though, missed him by .07 and trapped 34mph more than him!

Cool, just seemed strange with drastic difference between 1/8th mph vs 1/4.
