Posted this in the A/C forum, but no one really cares about how fast cars are in that forum.

Best E.T. of the day was 8.56 @ 80mph (1/8th mile track, very very crappy track, BTW...)

Here's the rundown.

First pass, I bogged the crap out of it, and shifted WAY too early.

Take a look.

60 Foot --- 2.0899 (See, I told you.)
ET @ 594 ft --- 8.3768
1/8th ET --- 8.9469
1/8th MPH --- 78.93

Told you I sucked the first pass.

The second pass ended up being the best, and damn-near perfect, with the exception of not winding second out to shift light. :-/

60 Foot --- 1.8402
ET @ 594 ft --- 7.9999
1/8th ET --- 8.5622
1/8th MPH --- 80.02

Finally, after like 5 cars blew up, I got my chance to run a final time. This time, I didn't really heat up the slicks real well, and ended up missing third real bad, so I just gave up.

60 Foot --- 1.8819
ET @ 594 ft --- 8.2209
1/8th ET --- 8.8090
1/8th MPH --- 76.51

Well, that was it. After the last run, I decided it was time to go home for the evening.

And now some pics.






(That picture was taken just before I got the driver's side wheel spinning. Damn open diffs. )







Also at the track today was this dragster, powered by a GM Ecotec.

He never really got a clean pass, but the last I heard was something along the lines of 6.41 @ 109mph?

Thanks.

Nice looking car man. That should be good for some low 13 sec passes.

 

Well, considering I've already run 13.1 I sure hope so.

I'm going to a much nicer and better prepared track (Cecil County) on Saturday, shooting for some 12's.

 

Nice times.

What size tires?

Who built the motor?

Specs?

 

Nevermind, I saw the link in your sig.

195 whp... 13xish wtq. Pretty strong engine. Probably making more power than that but the dyno seems to read a bit low.

 

Nice.

 

Representing Carlisle, PA like it should be! Nice car man.
