Today I met up with some friends (Steve, Don, David and his wife Jessica, and Zac) for some 1/4 mile fun.

For the heck of it I decided to make my first run on street tires. As expected I spun a bit but still ran a street tire PB of 12.2 @ 117. Immediately after that run I swapped the tires and went back out and ran a 11.98.

After letting it cool down for an hour I went back out and ran a 11.89, which was a PB. I let it cool down another hour and ran a new PB of 11.86 @ 116. After that I ran a 11.89 and a 11.92. I'm pretty happy to see all my runs with slicks in the 11's.

David and Jessica took some HD videos of my two fastest ET's, so I'll post them up once they're uploaded to Youtube.

For what it's worth, the DA on the 11.86 run was 697'.

Steve is working out some bugs, but he still ran a new PB of 12.11. His highest trap was 121!!! His car is going to scream when he gets it figured out.
