Default New PB for my 01 SS

Well, on my first pass (11-9 @ Steele, AL) I got a new best (previous pb was a 13.21/107.9) and then bettered that one with the last one. I love racing in cooler weather Here's a breakdown of the runs

1st pass - against an 05+ Mustang GT (sounded awesome btw)
----- him ---- me
r/t - .328 ------ .407
60' - 2.040 ----- 2.108
330 - 5.736 ----- 5.697
1/8 - 8.884 ----- 8.581
mph - 79.87 ----- 86.04
1/4 - 13.733 ---- 13.087
mph - 103.38 --- 109.54

2nd pass - bye run (missed 4th and let out after that ) New best 1/8th though. Probably missed my 12sec run on this one.
----- me
r/t - .508
60' - 2.065
330 - 5.616
1/8 - 8.469
mph - 86.93
1/4 - 13.264
mph - 91.64

3rd pass - ran against a turbo civic hatch (this one sucked bad )
----- me ------- him
r/t - .084 ------ .172
60' - 2.234 ----- 2.195
330 - 5.804 ----- 5.861
1/8 - 8.864 ----- 8.759
mph - 81.28 ----- 82.37
1/4 - 13.653 ---- 13.359
mph - 95.16 ---- 106.55
I missed 3rd and 4th on this run. I was pulling on him in 1 and 2nd and started pulling back up on him when I got it in 3rd. Then missed 4th and kinda gave up after that. After this run I saw him run up to some of his buddies in front of me (of course kicking myself and went right back to the staging lanes) and I could see him bragging to them about his slip. Hopefully nobody was running tape on that one. If it does make it on the net, you'll definitely hear my car rev going into 3rd and rev going into 4th. Oh well, you win some and then sometimes you beat yourself

4th pass - against Cayenne Red 98 Z28 w/ lt's a catback, nittos etc. (Shaunls1)
----- me ------- him
r/t - .197 ------ .488
60' - 2.133 ----- 1.894
330 - xxx ------- 5.383
1/8 - 8.556 ----- 8.184
mph - 86.46 ----- 88.22
1/4 - 13.049 ---- 12.682
mph - 109.38 --- 108.89

The stock clutch was acting up was why I missed the gears.

Good runs! Looks like when I was trying to hit a 12 on the stock tires with bolt-ons. I ended up hitting a 13.01 @ 110 but could never quite get my 12 second pass until I threw some Nittos on there, lol.

Good job, cooler weather is definately a good thing (why I love this time of year)! Get some traction and the 12s are yours.

Traps seem a bit down for your dyno numbers but good runs regardless.. you might have more clutch slip than you realize or your launch is holding you back. Do you know what the DA was or track elevation?

The track elevation was about 580 according to online topo maps of the area. I looked on the tracks website and didn't find it exactly. I haven't estimated the da for that day, but it was probably pretty low. It wasn't humid at all and the wind was anywhere from 5-10mph at times.
