Well, I didn't even plan on racing tonight, due to the fact that one of my slicks has a hole in it from last week. But sense it was Mustang night I figured what the hell, might as well go see what she can do on the street tires.

I had a few bests tonight. My previous best 60ft on street tires was a 2.1 something. Well the first pass killed that, with a 2.013. And the MPH was higher than it had been in a while, (107.5). This is total street trim, (no short belt, ice, etc). The next pass I went 109.1 MPH! I was shocked, seeing as my previous best MPH was a 107.9.....lol Oh well, I wasn't able to hit 109 again tonight, so maybe it was a fluke [Wink]

13.0, but it wasn't about ET tonight. Just MPH [patriot]

the only thing i can think of for those trap speeds was the tail wind. i dunno. the only other thing was that some one took out the very last cone witch is the ET/speed timer stop cone. so i dont know [Confused]

After that happend it seemed like the MPH went down a little bit. Not sure if It was due to that or not though. It was weird, half track MPH was still up but, 1/4 MPH went down...hummm

It was cool to meet you at the track last night, Drew. I've been wanting to see your car for a little while now.

I was pretty stoked with a new best of 14.11@97.5, and taking home the runner-up trophy for the first time.

Maybe I'll see you out there again sometime.

Take it easy,

It was the tail wind. It was gusting up to 25. Everyones MPH was up. All the LS1 guys were trapping 110 when they usually trap 108. As soon as the sun went down the wind stopped and everyones MPH went down.

I got some major clutch issues again. So wind or no wind, I sucked. Mastering a completely shitty 13.6 106 mph with the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. [Mad] [Mad] [Mad] I hate my car!!

It was nice meeting ou too bro.

Congradulations on the runner up trophy and the new best ET! You should come out more often.

Later, Drew

the tail wind was the factor but later in the night it went away and i was still hitting 110

My MPH dropped later that night also, but my et went down (but thats cause i figured out how to launch with the blower lol)
