Finally, everything went perfect and I accomplished my goal. 11.992 @ 115.84 on Hankook Ventus evo110 tires that are 4 years old with over 70 passes and 14K miles. I think that's the fastest street tire time unless I'm mistaken. Video will be uploaded soon!

 

Here's the evidence....

 

Another run against another Mustang, this one a new GT350....

 

Way to go Chuck! It's funny how some people won't "play" if they can't win ……

Very impressive!

 

excellent! welcome to the club!

 

GREAT !!!
Probably would have been even faster with the top down ;

EDIT : Nevermind. I looked again and I was wrong. Just looked like a roadster the first time I watched .......

 

Congrat.'s from the left Coast here Chuck. Well done!

 

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s !!

 

did I say your the man,

Congrats Chuk. I noticed in the Vid of your new PB run that there is a fair bit of condensation emitting from your exhaust tips after the burnout while sitting at the line. Was your car 'almost cold'? Could this be the reason for the great time....no heat soak?

 

Good eye! I shut down after every run and lift the hood to 90 to let all the heat out ASAP. From there I push the car all the way back through the staging lanes until I'm two cars out. That's where I restart the motor and have never had serious heat soak issues.

 

Well, I pulled the trigger on the wheel/tire combo I've wanted since 2012. Mercedes Toliman wheels (12-13 lbs. ea) with MT ET Street tires. The wheels actually belonged to Jim at one point, go figure! Now it's time to see how far into the 11s we can go before I can convince Kim nitrous can be done safely and in moderation.

 

16psi will do it but i think you will only get a little better 60' because YOU my friend have a world's record on street tires,,, you don't need nitrus ,,,You are going to be the fastest srt6 (V6) without nitrus good luck jim

p.s. after my treatment, late March or early April,, i will come up to Orlando Speed World
and we can go play.

 

Looking forward to seeing you again Jim! Take care of yourself.

 

I don't know how much quicker you can go with drag radials. Looking at your mph your already getting almost everything with street tires. Just incredible. My best drag radial 60' is worse than your street tire 60'. I hate/admire you!

Look at my MySlips.com page and you'll see it's been because of practice. It's taken over 100 runs for me to get everything down to a routine. I guarantee you would make me look foolish on a road course! But it's nice to know our best 1/4 times are so close (same actually) with such a difference in mods.

 

Wow!!! I wished I could do that. Squirrel Crusher

 

And Chuck doesn't even have a Wavetrac! (at least, I don't think he does)?
