A day at the track...... new best!!
Today was a local private track rental for a local Mustang club. So after much anticipation, a new set of 4.10's, (thanks Mike) and a tad bit taller tire I gave it my best. Last years one and only outing yielded a very disappointing 12.34@115.08 for my fastest run.
So my first 2 runs were kinda carbon copies of last years, 1.9 60's, and a pair of 12.4's. My trap speed was back up at 117.78 and 118.41 respectively. I was trying coming out a lil softer by slipping the clutch. Didn't seem to be working out like I hoped.
The third run, I went back to high rpm launch which got me a nice 1.630 60' and a 12.171@116.22. Finally heading back in the right direction
Forth run, dropped the hammer, 1.522 60' for an 11.798@117.36
Fifth run, 1.586 60' for an 11.761@116.81
Sixth and last run, 1.655 60' for a 12.277@102.56 I ran out of gas the last run. By the 1000' mark the car was sputtering like crazy.
Here's the vids!! I finally broke into the 11's!!!

Had some coaching form the sidelines to help me get on track. Thanks Mike!!! It's def easier when someone is watching that can tell you what's going on w/ your car from the outside about things you can't see from the inside.

I knew your car had it in it, when we were standing there and saw you finally hammer it hard outta the hole and the rpm didn't drop and no noticible shift lags, I knew it had to be close to an 11 expecially when we saw plenty of day light under the front tires!!! Congrats!!! good job!!!
...My only regret is I didn't have my ride there to run also...oh well there's next time
