Default less than a tenth...

That is all that stands between me and Shon's record...

I went out for some testing last night and it went rather well...

First pass 11.945 @ 114.43, with a headwind
1.640 60'
7.616 1/8
89.38 MPH
11.945 1/4
114.43 MPH

Second pass 11.947 @ 114.83, with the same headwind
1.637 60'
7.633 1/8
89.75 MPH
11.947 1/4
114.83 MPH

Third pass 11.912 @ 114.98, with the wind letting up and slower 60'
1.694 60'
7.610 1/8
90.10 MPH
11.912 1/4
114.98 MPH

Final pass of the night 11.860 @ 115.09, after it cooled off a little
1.639 60'
7.562 1/8
90.19 MPH
11.860 1/4
115.09 MPH

I will post up the slips after I get camera batteries, I was hoping to have vids of it but the camera died when my wife started recording the first pass...

Damn, those are some impressive numbers, dude! How many people at the track don't believe you when you tell them what you've got done? LOL, that must be quite a fun conversation!

yeah I was getting a kick out of it, but most of the time I am there with guys that know me and the car, so it is only the kids/ricers that don't believe me...

yeah but you can probably drive comfortably on the street, and have a heavier car... With no PS, HVAC, Stereo, and only a racing seat on the interior, mine rarely sees the street any more...

Actually I was at 12.5 with all that stuff to, minus the stall I've had that for a while, until mid summer of last year. Then when I pulled all the weight and crap out I dropped quite a bit of time off...

I think I told you this before, but right before the race I'd put a new fuel filter in. Maybe while you're in-between track trips, make a bar that can go in place of the outer most part of the T-Tops (just to keep rigidity) so you can remove them at the track and save 20~lbs more.

Just get some Scorpion 1.7rr's and swap the 3.73's for 4.10's and you've got the record.

LOL, thanks Tony...

tspence45 - that would be too easy, I have to do everything the hard way, plus I have no time to mess with adding a new set of rockers and tuning it with my racing schedule this season. It is a simple job to swap, but getting everything fine tuned for consistant racing takes time...
