Ran the 1/4 today and set a new PB.
1 Attachment(s)
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'. 12.28 @ 117.3 - Street tires w/ air filter 11.98 @ 115.1 - w/ air filter 11.89 @ 115.9 - No air filter 11.86 @ 116.1 - No air filter 11.89 @ 115.5 - No air filter 11.92 @ 117.5 - w/ air filter Best sixty foot: 1.77 Best 1/8 ET: 7.66 Best 1/8 Trap: 92.86 Me - 11.86 @ 116 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXIvxrITN0o Me - 11.92 @ 117 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06k7qSo7kxQ Me - 11.89 @ 115 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE9a2FvcjCc Me - 11.89 @ 115 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb8OwKDMg8Y Steve is working out some bugs, but he still ran a new PB of 12.11.

Re: Ran the 1/4 today and set a new PB.
Tell Steve to load up on fuel...he has to be doing something wrong to have that kind of MPH, and still in the 12's...you guys are dialing those cars in. Great times, and great numbers. Steve, you aren't in the big rig with a load on, pal....launch that puppy...put some weight in the back of that go cart...

Re: Ran the 1/4 today and set a new PB.
that is crazy...I would love to have that kind of mph at the end of the run. My little roadster was quick off the line, but fell short at the end. Now the coupe isn't acting that way at all...well, one car at a time for me. I have to finish the coupe, and we will go fix the roadster later. You both had great numbers....need to plan on a trip down next spring to play...should have both cars figured out by then. This track you are at will let the roadster run won't they?.....you are close my friend...:cool:
OH, you need to be in the 1..7X's with drag radials... |
Re: Ran the 1/4 today and set a new PB.

Re: Ran the 1/4 today and set a new PB.
A few weeks ago I saw a guy at the track (Beech Bend) in a convertible S2000. I spoke with him and he stated that he'd been running it there for years and they'd never said anything about it. I wouldn't try running it with the top down though.

Grip, did I read correctly, the 11.8x was without an air filter at all??
What intake system are you running? |

What intake system are you running? Yes, the filter was removed along with the elbow and grille. I'm running a Needswings single. |
