Default Finally went back to the track

Well it looks like the car is still running good after 15k on the set up. A few friends and I rented the track tonite and had between 5 of us for 5 hrs I couldnt believe the car traped a best of 122.96 N/A in 85 degree weather.
Here were a few passes
R/T 5.28
60 1.732
1/8 7.608
MPH 91.86
1/4 11.767
MPH 122.16

R/T 1.011

60 1.794
1/8 7.747
MPH 92.25
1/4 11.771
MPH 122.33

R/T .941

60 1.784
1/8 7.619
MPH 92.89
1/4 11.745
MPH 122.96

I had 11 passes in the 11.7's tonite <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I had one run with a 1.64 but missed third I feel it would have been low 11.6's maybe 11.5's. We got rained out about 1 hour before the track rental was up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Those are some pretty impressive times.. You have to tell us the specifics.. Race weight, tires, gears, dyno #'s, engine setup..

Great trap speeds! With trap speeds that high you have the potential to go low 11s for sure!

I need to work on my 60's they were way off last nite <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> I am shooting for 11.4's with the T1. My car is fixing to loose another 100 lbs by October and I may pick up a Meziere EWP for it as well. I am hoping it will go 124's as well in the cooler months to come this 90 degree weather is a mother <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
