Default Another new best

Well the weather was a little warmer today, and the track was hooking a bit better than last weekend, so I came home with a new personal best.

12.918 @ 109.66 w/ a 1.95 60'

That was my first sub 2.0 60'.

DA was 421

Raceweight was a very piggish 3600.

I think the thing holding me back now is my stock LS1 clutch, and my launch could use a little more work. I jump out of the hole really well, but then I bog just enough to nose-over. I got up to about a 4K rpm launch on my last run, still hooked, still bogged.

All in all, a great day. LOnSLO also posted a new best with his stock headed F1 cammed car, but I'll let him post that up himself.

How did you figure that DA?? That would be kinda handy for us non-engineering types. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I think I'm done with the track until I put my headers and subframes on. Hopefully I can come up with enough cash to buy myself a clutch in the next month or so as well. You should have come out today instead of woring about that un-important stuff you had to do <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
