I see where the Porsche caught and passed you, so how did you get a better time than him? Nice vids and thanks for sharing.

thanx nick. as always i have the best times at beech bend. even red lighting , running slower than my 32 ever ran it was still great. trapped 119mph on a 12.4 run with the psm engaged. forum tells me ill cut close to .4 off the 60ft if i turn it off. hopefully i can keep in a straight line!!
mimi trust me beating grip is no easy task. i have tied blocks to his bumper painted his windsheld black and drugged him. i still have yet to beat him with a faster time at the traps!

Steve, you actually trapped a 118 to my sad 112. My research leads me to believe that when you drop that 2.2 60' to a 1.7 or 1.8, you'll cut approximately 3/4 second off your ET.

As for me, I repaired my ugly boost leak this evening, so no more whistling engine at 7psi and above. I mentioned that in case anyone is wondering why my ET was so high and trap so low. That Porsche was lucky I wasn't in full form, or maybe I'm the lucky one considering Steve's trap.

Next time I'm sure I'll be seeing those exhaust pipes the entire run, but I don't mind.
