Back from Cecil County Dragway
So there were too many ricers there tonight. Tons of CRX and Civic Hatches, ugh. Some club I am sure. A few decent rides, though. Every Gen F-body was covered! Some nice 'Vettes, a new Skyline, two of those new V8 Lexus', two of those rotary powered loud Mazda's? I raced one of 'em and beat him. The next run wasn't against me but he ran an 8.37 or something and smashed into the wall lol.... driver was okay.. I only got 3 runs in.
Best run was this (on street tires, 20.5 psi):
60': 1.966
R/T: .600
1/8 Mile ET: 8.685
1/8 Mile MPH: 80.40
1/4 Mile ET: 13.508
1/4 Mile MPH: 102.73
Some photos here:
So new o2 sensors (running rich as hell), re-tune at JS Performance, new suspension.. and I should hit the 12's at that point (I like to think/hope).

I used to go a few times per summer, but this was only the 2nd time in as many years that I've gone. Always too busy! I need to fix my damn suspension, get new brakes, o2's, retune and we'll go from there. I didn't have an issue hooking, but I couldn't launch more than 2000 RPM max 'cause of my brakes.

I think I have a video of you running! I have a vid of a white WS6. Let me see if I can find/upload it. After review, the video looks like a silver T/A, can't tell if it's a WS6 or not.. But I'll upload anyway.
And yes, that little rotary (white I think) that smacked the wall... I was 3 behind him, just about to get into the burnout box when it happened. I raced him on one of my runs and beat him.
