Gave me a chance to practice my launches on street tires, ignore the reaction times.

It was nice being able to get out to the track for a change and not get rained out. I just wish it was a 1/4 mile track but I had a lot of fun.

I am car TM1 on all slips. On the 2nd slip with my worst 60' i tried to launch a little harder but spun really bad and had to let completely off the gas to get it straight again which really screwed up my run.

Good runs ! What kind of car were you up against that pulled a 6.4491?

 

i think it was a 69 corvette dragster on that run

 

Nice times and traps.........your car is right on par with mine at the 1/8 mark. Here's my 1/8th info on my best run(yesterday) .................

7.811 @ 90.07mph which netted a 12.10@115.17mph

 

thanks for posting that up, i was wondering what your times were.

i hope to make it to the 1/4 mile track at least 2 times this month if the weather holds out. we already had a few 30 degree nights here lol.

 

I wish I could pull off 60' times like that! For some reason, my SLK on street tires is 2.0-2.4 , Which has a serious affect on 1/4 mile times. I dyno'ed at 323 RWHP and still only managed a best of 13.08 @ 107 due to my horrible 60'...

It is fun though!

 

Big difference is that he was probably running in 4000 plus DA. Ouch that smokes me too. I lost 1st rd today by breaking out. I ran in the 1/8th 8.039 at 87.29 for an ET of 12.496@111.20mph. Unfortunately I dialed a 12.58. My DA was 3900' this morning, but only managed a 12.43 yesterday in 3150'DA.

Those are great 60's with any tires.

 

DA was 4456 in vegas on my quickest run.

 

Your MPH is pretty good for the 1/8. If you can get that 60ft down into the 1.7's you'll be right there.

 

lol i know, i am working on it!

what mph do you usually see in the 1/8?

 

you will have a chance to work on that launch on the 23!!!

 

My highest in the 1/8 was 90 and change. Usually right around 88-89.

 

That very well could have been a sub 11.7 pass. Time for you to come down to az.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

My 1/8th is quick but it goes to crap after that.

 

That's an easy fix....Only race at 1/8 mile tracks and you be da man

 

That or get a tune that doesn't lean out after the 1/8th.

 

Sorry not gonna allow that. Then you'll be faster than me. Plus you'll have it on HD video with sound effects to boot.

 

I don't know I'd be happy for an 11.9 @ 115-117. Only need to pick up 2/10ths in ET and 2-5 mph..... lol "only". Easier said than done.
