So I went down stairs swapped out the wheels, checked the fuel level and through the miss in the car and drove to cecil behind every slow poke I could find. Arrived at Cecil at 9:45am. Made my first pass at 9:57am. I planned for running 1/8mi till I figured the car out and make a full pass or so till kicked if not keep at it. Set tire pressures in the rear tires at 16psi. Fronts were at 32psi. Coolant temp at approx 190deg's. Well first pass was a new best 1/8mi: Launch RPM 3500rpm

R/T-.030
60ft-1.667-Car bogged pretty bad
330ft-4.631
1/8mi-7.030
1/8mph-103.16-shut the car down
1000ft-9.603
1/4mi-12.737
1/4mph-64.80mph


So I went in the pits, aired up the front tires to 42psi, rear tires 20psi in hopes of saving the stocker clutch getting the rear tires to lightly haze on the launch. 2nd pass after letting the car tool to 160deg's coolant temp. Launch RPM approx 3800rpm

R/T-.410
60ft-1.627-new best light haze of clutch not tires
330ft-4.563
1/8mi-6.961
1/8mph-103.57-shut the car down
1000ft-9.254
1/4mi-12.099
1/4mph-68.71mph

After this pass I was killing myself saying OMG I should've kept into it crap its not gonna get better than that. So I let the car cool and worry about making another clean pass and its only getting hotter thoughout the day. Last pass at 10.39am and car cooled to approx 160*deg coolant temp. Launch RPM approx 3800-3900rpm

R/T-.212
60ft-1.631
330ft-4.560
1/8mi-6.953
1/8mph-103.79
1000ft-8.992
1/4mi-10.710
1/4mph-131.93mph

I was extremely pleased when I got the slip and shocked all at the same time. I went up into the lanes and parked off to the side. Figuring I was in trouble but gonna ride it out and see. Shortly there after the Same tech who kicked me out last time telling me dont come back will I get the bar etc... the same one that teched me in today and didnt remember me and acted like my best friend comes up and says. "I'm guessing you know what was your last pass right?". I politely said yup and joked with him and said thank you and we both went about our ways. Very happy to have these ET's w/o raising the car up from its lowered stance for better weight transfer, floor mats etc all still in the car.

Future mods:
CLUTCH!!!!!
Electric waterpump
Light weight aluminum hatted front rotors
Remove the passenger seat
light weight battery
Driver
Roll bar??? MAYBE!

A good mention first thing I saw after pulling in was Diablowme coming up through the lanes. While I'm setting the tire pressures I watch Diablowme go up to the line 2step and wheel hop BANG! Breaks his driveshaft and hopefully didnt hurt the rear but didnt sound good
