Default wohoo 12's

woohooo i hit my 12 for the second time ...i usually dont race my car much and since our local dragstrip had been closed for renovations,it had been a while since i had raced my car at a track....well i borrowed some 26x10.5 slicks from a friend and well my car hooked up pretty good with them ...at first i was skeptical cause i didnt want to get great traction cause i was afraid of breaking something ...but then i said **** it!!! ...and i launched at 5000rpm ...and boom there came the 12.95@106.58 with a 1.90 60ft

here are some pics of the slip below,sorry for the quality it is like 2am and all i had was my camera phone

several A4 guys have hit 12.9X with a lid only, and even one M6 guy that I've seen. I'm assuming the slicks were a big help. Nice times.

yeah I agree. 5,000 rpm launch on a stocker 10 bolt. I'd start saving up for a new rear end if you do launches like that very often.
