hELP ME VERIFY THIS TIME SLIP PLEASE.. I posted this aty the other site too.
Performance mods: SLP lid, GMMG cat-back exhaust, Nitto DRs.
Please help me decide if this seems possible. This past Thursday I went to the local track ,as it was a little cooler (70s). My best previous run was 13.01 @107.41 (~85 degrees/high humidity).
Well, Thursday I made this run:
<img src="http://www.onehotz.com/Time_Slips/9-12b.jpg" alt=" - " />
I did not powershift. Shifting has been a big issue for me (slow, unsure, even wth pro 5.0)
The run "felt" right. I launched the best I had ever done, and when I shifted into 4th, I was about 20-30 ft further away from the end of the run than normal (I shifted much better, an issue for me).
I just find it hard to believe I could actually run that time. I asked the guy working the tree/start line if the tree/timer was ok on the run and he said all was fine.
Basically, I am asking if there is anything on the slip that indicates a problem with the timing etc. It was a great run by the butt-o-meter, but I was shocked at the time.
I made one other run that night where I dipped into the 12's. I run 12.988 @107.13. This also "felt" like a good run except for a little excess wheel spin on launch.
You opinions on the freak 12.6 run are appreciated. I wonder if I just had a run where everything just fell into place?

Re: hELP ME VERIFY THIS TIME SLIP PLEASE.. Your eighth mile looks about right.sometimes when you power shift you spin a little without even knowing it.I started lift throttle shifting a while back and my et,s became better and more consistant.Nice time slip.

Re: hELP ME VERIFY THIS TIME SLIP PLEASE.. The 60ft time on my 13.01 pass was 1.928.
The 60 ft on the 12.988 pass (the same night as the 12.6 pass was 1.902.
You can see all of my "best" time slips at the following website to compare the points:

And deep staging won't help 60's.
When you deep stage, you lose that extra 6-8" or so of rolling before your front tire leaves the beams. By shallow staging, you get a "rolling start" before the timer starts counting.
Go to the track and watch the all out race cars. You'll notice that the just barely trip the 2nd beam, sometimes it will even flicker on and off for a second.

Re: hELP ME VERIFY THIS TIME SLIP PLEASE.. Yep, the big improvement was all found in the 60' time... Did you have the same tires on the car? Whatever you did on the 12.6 pass, you did it right.
Maybe the track was well prepped that night, maybe you had new/better tires, maybe you drove a lot better... Regardless, the 60' made all the difference.

Re: hELP ME VERIFY THIS TIME SLIP PLEASE.. Thanks for the replys guys. I was on my Nittos and had the best launch I have ever had (no bogging and little to no wheelspin). I just wanted to be sure there apeared to be no apparent problems with the timing as it appeared on the slip. I was just having a hard time believing I turned out a 12.6. Now if I can just do it again!

Re: hELP ME VERIFY THIS TIME SLIP PLEASE.. Everything looks very realistic as far as the ET's for the 60', and MPH for your mods <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Now you just have to learn how to do it every pass <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: hELP ME VERIFY THIS TIME SLIP PLEASE.. a 1.69 60' on DR's in a M6? jesus chr!st, I gotta let you drive MY car, lol. If indeed you got a 1.69 short time then the 12.6 is accurate. For a rule of thumb, each .1 you lower your 60' by is equal to a .15 reduction in ET. So if you got a 1.9 and ran a 12.99, than getting a 1.69 would indeed net you a 12.6XX, great driving! Now Im jealous <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
