Went to track today! timeslips inside!
i went to byron dragway today.. weather was kinda cold.. my tires are pretty bald and because of weather, i took easy ot the tree so my 60's are not that good. i was like a chicken at tree, i couldnt laucnh my car the way i wanted too.. i prefered to bog the car instead of spinning cuz bogging gives me better 60'. so, i ran 4 times today and i didnt spin of the line at all except one run. i went to track to get 13.5s but i am back with very dissapointing 13.7
here are my time slips.. and my car is stone stock to air filter..
first Run.. ( crappy 60' but ET is ok)
second Run: ( 1.99 60' foot on my bald tires
)
third run (missed 3rd )
last run:
and here is a couple pics. of my car waiting at the line..

RE: Went to track today! timeslips inside!
Looks cold there! Your trap speeds are more inconsistent than mine. last time at the track all my trap speeds were 105mph and my best run was 106, but all within less than 2mph of each other. Even my worst run when I spun the hell out of 1st was 14.2@ 104.79. Ok that one wasn't 105, but close.
Man I hope it get's cold here, like they say it will the beginning of this week. I can't wait to try the car in the cold without all this humidity.
I wish I had a spare set of rims so I could mount my old 235/45/17 kumho tires off my 99 ranger. They might be a little better than the pirellis, but even if they're not I could smoke the hell out of them with my new linelocks!
Your ET's were pretty consistent, but your trap speeds seemed to differ more. I bet if I shift to 4th I could get a faster trap speed than 106, i'm trying it this Wed.

I'm not stock, my mods are in my sig, except for my ford racing exhaust which i'm told doesn't really do much besides drop weight.
You've seen my timeslip in the Gt forum.

My car pulls pretty good in 4th, better than it does in 3rd nearing the rev limiter. It probably won't help my ET's, but I might be able to squeeze out a few more mph.

Would the stick trap at higher speeds than the auto because mine seem to be significantly lower than yalls.... I get a pretty consistant 102...
