Some fun today... Here's a pic of my car today taken by an EFA member's wife (Knightfire). No new best for me, but ran 7 11.0x in a row with full interior, through the muffler exhaust. It was humid, to say the least (it was drizzling rain).
As I was leaving, I decided to see what I could do in true street form. Even though I normally run Nittos on the street, today I had my orig slick Goodyear F1's, and I ran a 11.66 @ 118.x.
Renting the tracks out is the only way to go....

Re: Some fun today... KILLER PIC DAVE!!!
What MPH did u run on most of the runs?
I cant seem to get more than 121 outta my car?
Did u by chance weigh your car?I know u are light yourself,And that new exhaust u put on is light too.
The DA was fair at best today
Probably somewhere around -50 to - 600.
U know I read your post over at EFA and I couldnt agree more with u.I was thinking of adding a 3200 to my car and running 17's/DR"s with a 100 shot.It would still run 10's and be VERY STREETABLE.Good luck with whatever u decide,God that pic is badass <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Some fun today... Thats a sweet photo! Looks like you might need a right/rear airbag at 20 psi though, Mr Twist <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Some fun today... Joel, scales weren't open. But I added some weight with the interior and I closed my exhaust (no cutouts anymore). I'll guess 3450. Don't know how to calculate DA exactly, but it was RAINING. Is that negative DA today?
Tony, I definately could benefit from an airbag. Don't know that I'll go there or not. We rented the track out, and they prepped it pretty well. We had lots of fun.

Re: Some fun today... The landing was bouncy, as I had my front Hals set on 2 in this pic. I later firmed them up, which lessoned the air and made the landing better.
I'm currently running a TCS (one of our new sponsors) 4500 stall. Converter hits hard off the line. My 60's were consistently between 1.47 and 1.49 all day.

Great job today, the rain scared me away...

Re: Some fun today... Mike, my landing was hard enough for me. I can't even imagine landing from your now famous wheelstand.
Maybe Cessna could fabricate a custom landing gear for your car.......

Re: Some fun today... Humidity doesnt effect the DA too bad Dave..
Temp and a bad Baro does,If it was raining then the Baro wasnt too good....
FWIW at 3PM the DA was -753
Actually not too bad.
I know u dont run threw a cutout but your exhaust (4in race magnum and turndown) is equal to a cutout <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
U had some killer air under those fronts,Car looks BADASS!!!

Re: Some fun today... DA was -625 at around 1030 am. Dave made most of his passes before noon and consistantly pulled both wheels off the ground. It was cool to watch. What was more awesome was his 1.8x 60' on F1's with an 11.6x pass. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Re: Some fun today... -600DA's are what I figured.I agree Dan,spinning to a 11.6 pass mustve been a rush.I heard u had a good day too,Dan.
Dave your car is impressive for sure...
