Went to the track again last night, and let my car cool for about an hour hoping that I'd be able to cut a 12.5, maybe even a 12.4. Made consistent 12.6 passes after that, but I knew I still wasn't launching right. I kept cutting 2.0x 60ft's on my m/t e/t streets! (****ty, I know) So after 1 1/2 hours of waiting for them to clean up something off the track, I went again. Failed and missed 2nd!! Pulled a 12.8. They started closing up the track and I begged for another pass. They said ok and let me go one more time. Did a nice burnout, raised the rpm's to about 5000 and slipped the clutch. Nice launch, cut a 1.96 and nailed every shift. I knew I had a good run. As I made the turn to go get my slip, my gf called me up. At first I didn't understand what she was saying, but than I heard "F*ck yea! 12.3!!!" I was extremely happy because I knew I had gotten a much better launch and timed it right. I know my car can do 11's, but I'm still working on seat time. So far, every time I've gone out I've gotten better and improved my times. Anyway, here's the slip. Sorry for the long story!



I have a video, but my video camera runs off a tape and I don't know how to get it on the computer. So, this will have to do for now

 

Congratulations! Thats a really good ET, and you're obviously improving, so like you said, there should be 11s in your future. Keep up the good work!

 

You have a cool gf. My wife could care less about going to the track, much less get excited about it.

 

lol my GF get's excited at the track... and horny... something about all those loud engines lol

She even talks **** about some of the cars lol And when she hears the loud buzzy fart cannons on riced out imports... she goes "ewwwwww!" I'm so proud.

 

Mine went once. Said she had an ok time. Then later called me a redneck cuz I enjoy it so much.

 

Thanks man. Practice makes perfect and I'll be in the 11's soon enough.

 

Yea, my gf loves it. She wanted to make a sign saying "Make it happen baby!! 11's!!". Actually, last time I was out, she was taping from the stands and some douches were talking smack about my slowstang after I ran and she went up to, cursed them out, and said that she'll beat there asses if they talk again. 8 years in karate and counting I wouldn't doubt it lol.

 

Getting better every time you go. Get the launch down a bit and you'll have your milestone. Congrats.

 

Congrats! I want to cut 12's I need some stuff though, a lot of stuff

 

I'm gunna get 11's next wednesday. I feel it
