Thumbs up New Best!!

New "Street Mode" best:

60' 1.590
330 4.759
1/8 7.500
MPH 89.46
1000 9.866
1/4 11.865
MPH 112.93

Raceweight ~3460

Stock Internals on 17" Nitto 555 275/40's (front) and 555R 315/35 Drag Radials (rear).

Those that were at Bristol, same setup that went 12.07 @ 109 (1.60) there.

Full interior minus rear seat (never in the car) Basically the way I drive the car to work everyday minus the rear speaker panels.

My previous best with this setup was 11.987 @ 111.22 (1.59) in the heat of the summer.

Wanted to see what I could pull off on the radials in decent weather. I believe it would go deeper in killer DA, but I'd rather run in full kill mode in those conditions.

Track wasn't hooking well early, but after some slick tire cars got out there, it came around nicely.

I'd kill for a 60' like that. Gotta like running behind the big tire guys. Nice run Wilwaxu.

Nice times Wax - that is what I'm shooting for! We'll see in a week or so when the rear/stall/tranny are done!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks Guys!

It wasn't much fun earlier in the day. MIR was the worst I've ever seen it. But, like Unit said, I started following big tire cars and finally got a few decent passes.

Damn that car is a sleeper, unless you forget to leave the cutout open

I like the way your converter hits when I rode in the car. Wish I had snagged a pass down the track at Bristol, they allowed passengers too.

Hehe, yeah. Not too bad for a "un-streetable" Yank Thruster Pro-4200

With H/C it should be a low 11 second sleeper and high 10 second strip car

sure will miss you, Priscilla and Hawkn01 at Thunder, we could have a really good class if everyone was able to show up. Good run though, I'm sure we will see more from you in the near future.
