Default runs on sunday, alllllllmost in the 10's

Went to the track yesterday with a few friends and did ok. Was hoping for a solid 10 but I need more seat time to get the thing to launch better. I only got 2 decent runs and both times it bogged off the line(dropped the clutch at 4k then at ~5k).

My 2 times were an 11.17 @ 129 then an 11.05 @ 126. with a 1.66 and 1.67 60'. I'm hoping with a cleaner launch resulting in a 1.5x 60 along with cleaner shifting on my end I can get it down to my goal of a solid 10 at 130-132. Next track day is the 10th and it's my works rental so I'll be able to get a few more runs in there. I got a vid I can update later for everyone! Tcstanger ran some great times as well even with bad 60's that I'll let him mention.

Very cool man! You never did get a clean run on the spray right? I'd love to have seen how that would've compared

LOL I predicted a high 10 with a very high trap speed. Which you'll get no problem next time out.The sixty is good I think. Real hard to get a manual street car to sixty. Thank god I went with a stalled auto! Nothing is going to beat you on the street with that kinda trap speed.

Whew, bogged at those launch RPMs and got those times. When you get things dialed in it's going to be very nice.

Horrible 60ft's.. best 60ft I had was a 1.89... trapped amazing though. The car has a lot left in her, But it's time for a trans brake, 2 step, and some 3.31 gears.
Here's one of the runs.
