Honestly?

That's probably a better ET than I'll manage on my first trip with the new car. Pretty impressive considering *if I didn't misinterpret* your first trip down the strip with the S/C.

Did you have the track to yourself or what? It looks like a ghost town and has an old song playing in the background like jeepers creepers or something.

Technically it was my second trip, first trip was Pir and they had 0 track prep so no traction through the 1/8 but my first run at this track was a 12.6 because I was unsure of traction I didn't really push the car. Once I got a few passes solid I started power shifting and letting the sc cool. This was right after a 45 min cool down and yes power shifting the crap out of it bang on shifts at 5800 launch around 3300 ran a 1.903 60 foot the second run was a hot pass which is why it was a little slower. I wasn't by myself but it was about 30 mins before they closed a lot of the drivers went home like an hour before that. The only people left where the ones like me letting a long cool down time.

Only been once and that was when the car was about 340rwhp. Best I could muster was a 13.9 at 106. Poor traction and tires. Have not been since with the added ponies since the track is now closed down. I am sure with a better driver and tires it could have done better.

yea when i went to pir i had no traction tires mattered little. still trapped 110-112 but just couldn't get my times down. low to mid 13s was what i was doing. traction makes a huge difference.
