12.9 at 112 is my best! But that was with a 2.2 60ft time and a tip missing off my sparkplug!

IT was a 1.8 60ft. I don't like using anything more than drag radials for the mr2. Since we already have a mid engine setup, I don't want to risk breaking anything. O the 50shot helped to.

bronco = no timeslips. when i got the slip from the booth, it said "we do not have a sun dial to record your time"

Mustang = hoping for high 12 N/A and a good low 12 when on Juice!

Believe it or not it was the stock F1's. I only got it hooked up one good time. The other times were around 12.7x to 12.8x with a lot of spinning.
