Default New PB

Finally after a year away from the track, managed to make it back this past Sunday after a day of tunning at AED. Ran 11.56, 11.46, and 11.45 (on video). Not bad for stock block.

Congrats on new best. Funny you gave him a 4 second head start and still killed him. I know that wasn't your intention but it's still awesome to watch.

I keep telling him to disconnect the front sway bar and he'll get those 10/ths easy. Plus lifting the tires will be bad azz.

Thanks everyone!

Car is around 3800lbs stock I think, I is probably a little heavier than that with me in it.

Running Bogart Racing Wheels GT 1pc Bolted. 15x4's up front 15x10's in the back with M&H 26x4x15 tires up front and MT ET's 26x11.5x15 in the back both front and back are bias ply.

Think the car probably has a high 11.1 or low 11.2 in it.

Let the ricer run out, I was trying to launch the car correctly, that was my first run on the new rims and tires.

Good job Sactown, hopefully you grow a set and pull a low 1.5 60'.

I was just looking at the forecasted Air Density for tomorrow night:

04/09 05:00 PM6421%29.25 Hg2318.996.60 %1180 ft.

04/09 08:00 PM5438%29.25 Hg2923.998.37 %563 ft.

04/09 11:00 PM4762%29.25 Hg3530.199.58 %143 ft.

It's going to be much better air than what I was racing in last Saturday. Hopefully it will give me the few .10ths I need.

Now only if they prep the track LOL.
