Default New best ETs. Pics included.

Great day for racing. Not too hot, very cool breeze. A bit of light misting a few times. All 3 of us hit our best times ever. Aimee's dad was basically done, but then I hit that 13.273 and he had to go try to beat me (and succeeded).

Best time for 2007:
13.273@105.48 (Me driving)

Best time for 2005:
13.236@106 (Aimee's dad driving)
13.643@105.19 (Aimee driving)

On my 2007, I've been averaging just under 13.5. So what was the difference today? Loaded up my old Bamachips tune. I'd never used it since Doug had sent me a revised one. But I remember in a post a few weeks back, someone wanted to know the difference between the two. Now you know. About .2 tenths between the Brenspeed 93 tune and Bamachips 93 race tune. I'm still bogging (due to 28" tires and 3.31 gears), but I should be able to break 12's once I get some MT drag radials (about 2" shorter). I'm pretty happy considering I'm running 3.31's and Aimee is running 4.10's. I think with a shorter drag radial, 12's will be in my future. And I'm very happy with that, because my goal this year was to hit 12's without changing the gears or adding any FI. Once I hit that, the Zex goes in. :nice:

Here's a few pictures. None of me driving (as I took the pics), so it's Aimee and her dad driving.

Looks like a good day with some nice pics. Like you said, not bad for running 3:31s.

I'll get some photos for you next time. Didn't know you were on the board.

Here's our video from last time. If you watch closely, you're in the first and last races (killing us, of course)

This one shows you a bit more lol.

Rebel XT. I didn't pay attention, though. Usually I run in aperture priority. I'd turned it on full manual this time and didn't pay attention to the light, so the first couple of sets turned out a bit over exposed.

Can't wait to get my MTs and finally hit 12's.
