Default sooo close to 10's on motor! day was cut short.

11.01 @ 123.19mph, 1.52 60'

11.080 @123.69mph, and another 11.087 @ 122.60mph

first round of elims i broke the adjuster on the torque arm, unfortunately the 28" et drag became a 28" et street....... the rear axle shifted on me and well i am sure you can figure out the rest.
i'll have it fixed up soon enough!

thanks to Roman, Rob, and Steve for all of help today, oh and of course the wife congrats to Loots99TA for winning the Toronto F body meet, and Penthos for finishing 2nd!

no spray today my electric fuel pump took a dump last week, so we swapped all of the plugs, in like 20 minutes so i could run the car on motor. the new stock MAF sensor really made a difference in the way the car was running!!!

Awesome runs man, it was great talking to you guys yesterday.

The car was hauling *** especially considering you had the nitrous setup on the car (28's and 3.73s!!)

cheers,
Chris

thanks!!

chris, sorry you had issues with the trans mount! well i have a pump to put in the car (thanks Roman!) and a spare "cryo'ed" adjuster
i'll get crackin' on it tomorrow night! oh and the gear is 4.11. perfect compromise for motor and spray. i really want to spray the car, the season is almost over and i want to get out there one more time with this great colder air! i think there might be better numbers in the car for the fall!

adding a bit of air to the tires allowed me to skate out quite nicely!

Good runs Taner, glad to see those great times... Get out in that good air and run some 10's N/A and might as well lay down some 9.50's

Watching you run N/A is still fun to watch.

Hopefully I'll be doin more than watching soon.

It was awesome watching you getting some new pb's and those forth gear scratches.
