Default 11s@122mph in street trim with GTP/TR230

I went to SCD tonight to finally get some passes with the new setup. I ran in full street trim. I was running on all 17" wheels ( nittos DRs ), no shortbelt, airfilter in etc. All I did was pull up and dump in some 104.

I only got to make one pass before getting the boot. I did a good burnout on the Nittos, left @ 3K and got a ton of wheel hop, hit second, still hopping, finally stopped when I hit third, hit fourth and ran out of gear. I hit the 6800 revlimiter a good 3 or four times before I crossed the line. I was shifting at 6500rpm

This resulted in:
1.85 60'
11.80 1/4 ET
122mph 1/4 MPH

I was VERY happy with this as this is how I drive it on the street. And there is a ton more in it when I put the slicks/skinnies, shortbelt, take some weight out, and shift it higher. I don't know when that will be as my 12bolt is making some funny noises.

The car felt so good on the top end, it really felt strong. I can see 124+ mph once I get it sorted out.

Congrat's Justin <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> I know you have to feel good about this, especially on your first pass! How much does your car weigh now?

Hopefully next season I can have the honor of being thrown out of the track for running 11's in street trim when I try some ET Streets instead of my standard street tires <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Congrats. My track is weird at times. That's bad cause I never know when they'll say leave or let me race. I got kicked out once because my seatbelts were outta date... LAME! Raced another time without a battery shutoff switch and they let me run all night, KNOWING it wasn't connected (it was installed). The following week, they told me I couldn't run till my shutoff switch STICKER was placed properly... JERKS! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I took my brothers truck into the mid 11's and it has no cage... They let me. As I said, weird. I hope YOUR track officials are at least consistent. Just in case they aren't, set it up for a best pass and give it a shot! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks guys. I have no idea what my raceweight is, one day I will weigh it but I am not to concerned. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Verbs, the 104 is just a safety measure. My knock sensors are turned off, and my CR is ~11.3:1. I don't think you are going to make it through the traps with 4.30s if you ever race at a sea level track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I popped the limiter several times before I crossed the line and this is with 4.10s. With the ET Drags I will cross just about perfectly, but I think your ET Streets will not grow as much.

The weather was fair, about 50*/50% humidity.

Can't wait to see some 1.5s and low 11s once I put the big 'n littles on it.

For the locals, SCD is consistently hooking on Friday nights from all the people I talked to. I have to put a roll bar before I go back, I've been kicked 3 times. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Justin, nice times for being in street trim. I know you have been wondering what it ran in that trim for awhile.

Glad to hear SCD is hooking again. I'll definitely be making a trip back there since I now have the rollbar. Just waiting on someone to ship back my heads. Craig... you reading this?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Did not get to run at Hub City yesterday, they were running an event, not the normal TNT. Will have to wait a week or so do see what it does on slicks. Hope the air is good.

Justin, the air is going to be really good Friday. Maybe make a trip to NPR since they allow 11.49 or slower w/o a cage. However, if you put the slicks on, I can see you getting kicked out real quick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> Maybe go make a few passes on slicks and then put the DRs on.

NPR on Wedensday or Friday? I can get out of work early to go either day. I hope the 12bolt doesn't break cause it is making some funky noises. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Maybe some 1/8th miles passes to get the launch down then go for the 1/4. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Justin, Friday would be better I think. The weather looks to be clear with temps 57°/37°. Wed. there is a 70% chance of rain.

Got time to put the new clutch in? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I can help anyday but Tuesday.
