Default New Personal Best of 1.30 and 9.58

After breaking my diff and trans case at Memphis, RPM transmissions got everything back together and I have been itching to test it out. I went to South Georgia Motorsports Park yesterday for some test and tune. The first two passes were pretty typical with a 9.757@138.66 and 9.746@138.66. Then I made some tuning changes and set a new personal best 60' time of 1.307, 1/8 mile time of 6.083@110.24 and 1/4 mile time of 9.584@142.22. I made 3 more runs while trying different set ups and went 9.598, 9.587, and 9.585 all at over 142 mph. I still have more tuning issues to work on and there is certainly more ET and MPH left in this new set up. Only time will tell. BTW, the DA was -300 all day.

I can run it on pump gas but don't at the track.

No vids yet. I plan to run again in about four weeks if the weather is good. I will have vids then, hopefully with some better numbers too.

Yep, I think that you are correct. Rob ran 9.33 in his 6-spd. I believe that I am the fastest N/A auto vette.

This is from last year when I went 9.70. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4rBVdM7yjY I will have new videos in about a month when I go back to SGMP as a racing friend will also be taking his car and his wife films for us.

Congrats DBN! Oh by the way the wife said the videos are going to cost you big time!!

You have made the trip to SGMP twice and your third time will be my first with the Formula and I am really looking forward to the trip! I really enjoyed filming those 9.70 runs last year!

I just wish I would have been there Saturday to video your 9.58 runs!!

It looks like myself, N2RacingLS1's, and several other racers from here are planning to come back to SGMP on Jan 30th for more testing. Hope to see you then.
