I'm impressed with what ETs these cars are running with a given trap speed. I was trapping higher than 104 when my car was stock but the ETs were 13.5-13.6.
Nice runs!

Depressing isn't it? I would have been running 12.6 with 60fts like that!!!

Got better but not enough. Heres the newest accomplishments from Orlando Speedworld


1st. 13.076 @ 104.82 w/ a 1.849 60' F'ing Close damn it
2nd. 13.118 @ 104.54 w/ a 1.908 60'
3rd. 13.167 @ 104.19 w/ a 1.891 60'

Took out over 110+ lbs, shifted at 6200. Can't make it across the line in 3rd. I tried every time and it falls right on its *** before the line. Oh well, I wanted to get 12's before the 4.10s. But its not gonna happen. They are going on this weekend.

I did ok, best of the night was a 13.04 w/ a 1.95 60' @ 106.7. Wasn't too crowded and was going pretty well as far as people not screwing up the track. Towards the end of the night, some kid over reved his turbo eclipse on his launch (really old box shaped style, not sure what year) and popped his motor spilling fluid all over the track. Took forever to clean and by the time they were done, it was extremely foggy and they shortened to the 1/8 mile. I decided to goafter thatin fear of pulling my best all-time 60' not being able toknowwhat my 1/4 mile time would have been (that would suck!). I may possibly head up tomorrow. When do you think you are heading up again?

The funny part about the eclipse is that guy is on our local mustang forum. lol. He was posting about it today. He really didn't pop his motor. I guess the gasket between his oil cooler and filter split or something like that.

I probably will not make it till next week. I am waiting on the sway bar eliminator. Got it for $55 shipped. If I can get the front up a little more and the added acceleration from the 4.10's. Hopefully will see a 1.7 which will put me into the 12's. We shall see.

I have no doubts that you will get it. We should definently line up together next time and have a friendly race. LOL about the guy with the eclipse, if you are reading this, sorry about your bad luck, that sucks. Let me know when you are heading up.
