Talking New personal best today!!!

Went racing in Steele Alabama with Steve (32krazy!) today. Weather wasn't the best, it was near a record high and was rather balmy, 10 mph wind and storms popping up all around. It was 83° at race time

My first run, with a roll-in from 1,000 rpm launch was as follows:

R/T = .429
60' = 1.880
330' = n/a (timer was broken on first run)
1/8 mile = 8.039 @ 89.12
1/4 mile = 12.445 @ 111.59

Second run, I tried a 1400/1500 rpm (50% throttle launch with gradual roll-in to WOT)... and ran my best:

R/T = .340
60' = 1.825
330' = 5.181
1/8 mile = 7.953 @ 88.64
1/4 mile = 12.351 @ 111.91

Mods are in my sig, and I ran on street tires (BFG 275's) with my Mandrus wheels. The wheel/tire combo in the rear weighs-in at a staggering 56 pounds (29# wheel, 27# tire). Race weight was ~3,600 pounds (3,300 lb car, 215 lb driver, half tank of gas) and was on pump gas (93).

Best of all, I observed 24mpg on the trip, 600 miles round-trip averaging 80mph on the highway and that included my three runs.

My third run was horrid, I got ballsy and tried a 2,000 RPM launch (stoopid) and smoked the tires immediately. I had a 2.4 60' time on that run. Final time was 25.039 @ 43.86. Booyah.
