Thumbs up New Best!!

Finally got the MTI Stage 2E & X1 cam out in some good air and got a new best!

60 .000 <--<< (broke timer)
330 4.397
1/8 6.873
mph 99.16
1000 9.020
1/4 10.853
mph 122.47

60 1.476
330 4.413
1/8 6.894
mph 99.07
1000 9.036
1/4 10.846
mph 124.53

60 1.491
330 4.419
1/8 6.891
mph 99.33
1000 9.028
1/4 10.833
mph 124.76

60 1.475
330 4.409
1/8 6.882
mph 99.41
1000 9.019
1/4 10.826
mph 124.84

60 .000 <--<< (broke timer)
330 4.388
1/8 6.846
mph 99.97
1000 8.974
1/4 10.774
mph 125.35

Raceweight was ~3390

I'm betting the 10.77 pass was at least a 1.46 60ft, too bad the f'ing timer wasn't working on that pass.

Difference between this and my previous best 10.92 runs back in March-April is mileage on the combo (5K), Randum Tech TA and a SLP Dual/Dual catback.. but I run a cutout at the track, so that doesn't get much use there

Weather was very good, track was hooking great!, what more could you ask for?!

Phil, was hoping to see the pewter bullet today, too bad you didn't have your car. It certainly would have loved the weather!

Great run John - congrats! I have a pic of your first launch that I'll post this afternoon.

FYI....my tranny loosened up some. I have all the gears, it just doesn't want to go into and out of a few of them without some extra persuasion. Going to the dealer today. Thankfully, the car is 100% bone stock.

First time trying to powershift the silly thing and it breaks. Guess I'm hard on trannies.
