I think you had the MPH for an 11 before, my bet is that your 60 foot was holding you back some. Post up your results. I am going to the track on October 7th and I am hoping for a new best as well.

my 60' on that run was 1.93 i believe maybe 1.92 but something right about there. i know i have the power to get the eleven i was slipping a bit in second on alot of the runs too. the track got better as the day went on but i was only hoping for a low 12 so once i got it i didn't make many more passes as not to beat the car too badly. one of my friends with almost idetical everything as what i have now did break into 11's but he was on dr's. nittos.

Nice kill. It's obvious the guy was "guesstimating" his HP output at the flywheel or he would have hung a little better. It happens alot when people start "adding up" their mods rather than paying for some dyno time. The problem with his transmission is most likely his left foot and right arm...

Nice cobra. At least the guy was willing to participate and wasn't a dick about losing, other than the excuses. There was no shame in his loss to a cobra.
