Default Slightly new best

Went out last night to enjoy some good weather racing and got a new best and some better 1\8 mile times.Had a mental block with shifting into 4th for some damn reason <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> which keep me from running some 10.80's.It was a bad night for some people,I feel for the family of the man that died,one of his son's worked for a local machine shop.

1st pass: 60' 1.507
330' 4.517
1\8 6.996
MPH 98.65
1000' 9.146
1\4 10.937
MPH 126.38

2nd pass:left around 6300,but fubbed 4th pretty bad and the chance for a 10.8x pass.
60' 1.471
330' 4.468
1\8 6.951
MPH 98.84
1000' 9.109
1\4 10.907
MPH 125.81

3rd pass: left at 6300 again,totally missed 4th-doh <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> there went the 10.8x pass again-but best 1\8 mile so far <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
60' 1.474
330' 4.436
1\8 6.935
MPH 99.62
1000' 9.394
1\4 11.773
MPH 89.13 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Had a special clutch disc made to suit my driving style to try next week,and tinker with some other ideas to get ready for the Thunder event.

The 1.47 60' looked sweet!! Both tires were WAY off the ground. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It's about time my car starts 60'ing like that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Congrats on the new best. You were starting to sound like Gordon shifting on your 3-4. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> j/k
