New best even when spinning

I couldn't get the tires to bite today...I think they are done (wore out and old)

but nonetheless...here is the breakdown

60': 1.668 Spun all the way thru first <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
330: 4.867
660: 7.506
MPH: 93.10
1000 9.766
1/4: 11.663 New best!!
MPH: 119.08 New Best <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Unfortunately, 2 runs later I snapped my Chassis engineering Torque arm at the heim joint <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Any Good arms out there for a violent M6?

I'm thinking

Had the car Hooked I see a 11.4x with the current combo <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

New tires and torque arm are next on my list I guess <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: New best even when spinning

It's always awesome to set a new best in worse weather. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> All your car needs (besides a new tq. arm & tires) is a sticky track, and 11.4's will definitely be possible. I've seen the BMR arm that you have pictured installed, and it looks really good. The owner of the car said it made a considerable difference; he's running high 6's in the 1/8th on N2O.
Congrats on the new best!

Like Brian said, Cecil was little bit of a mess today. I was out on Hoosier slicks, and spinning. Still managed to run a 7.43 1/8 mile.. lifted at 1000ft, pushing my luck.. I then ran a sting of 11.80 to 11.88's before I was told to slow it down or go home (no bar)

Congrats on the nice runs, they are nearly identical to mine. Isn't this the second time you have broken a Chassis Engineering torque arm?

Re: New best even when spinning

Congrats on your new best Brian, I've done in three torque arms myself with my M6, but this latest one from Spohn has held up real well. It's much beefier than the previous model.

It was fun racing you during that run. I was crazy to see on your shifts the car bouncing off the ground <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Get a Spohn TA. I havent broken it. And i break everything.
