Jen is in the 10s !!!

We took the car out to our high elevation (DA=5800'), unprepped track ... LACR, to see how the car likes a wet 130 shot. Wow, was I amazed at the improvement. Here is how her runs played out:

Best MPH:
Video
.273
1.579
4.421
6.805
102.527

8.824
10.643
130.186

Shift points were at 6300 and left off of the transbrake

Best ET:
Video
.332
1.498
4.319
6.733
100.410
8.759
10.595

125.053
Left off of the foot brake and lowered shift points to 5300

Best 60':
Video
.097
1.477

.000
6.784
100.929
8.829
10.669
126.606
Left off of the transbrake and lowered shift points to 5300

You can see in the videos this is not the best hooking kind of track, but you do what you can with what you have. Correcting for the weather, these runs would have been in the 9s easily at a lower elevation, better weather track ... or is there was more rubber on the ground we could have got really close.

Plus she also got another 2nd place trophy while playing around with the nitrous.

Thanks go out to Rob of Strictly Performance Motorsports for his on-site assistance!

BTW, Gainesville Raceway is only a 3 day drive, and in Jan-Feb we get close to 0 DA...

DAMN! That's hauling in hot weather!

Of course with the altitude up there, it makes sense to bring your own atmosphere

I was at Pomona for the swap meet over the weekend. it was H O T ! ! ! !

Yea, it was quite a rush!! I got the time slip and could not believe that it said I ran 130 @10.6!!! I just could not believe it, I was in shock. I did not think NOS would make me go this fast. I am hooked now. Anyone have any cheap NOS???
Hope everyone saw the video on my website. I love staring at the 130mph come up in my lane. Thanks everyone
