What more can I say. With so many limited days left in the racing season, I decided to go today. It was for a good cause. I only wanted to test and tune., and got in 5 runs.
So, just how do you get your 60's to drop .5 tenths? Cant be done, right? Since last week, I put door panels back on, the rest of the carpet, the passenger seat in, and I changed the tired ET streets to Et Drags I bought last year, only had 3 runs on them, oh ya, I left the full exhaust on, not the bullets, the Eldebrock 2.5" mufflers. I estimate the raceweight to easily be 3500 (I will weigh the car Mon.) At M7, the RW was 3450.
I do a small burnout (smaller than normal) stage, and imagine my surprise when the fronts lift AT LEAST 1 foot!!
Best time was my first run (ran outa juice after this run :D ) or started to:
1.449- 4.315- 6.765- 100.21- 8.894 = 10.695@124.94!!
:D :cool: :D :cool: :bow:
So 60' times from the last week of tire testing:
Tired ET Streets, on 7.5 Convo Pro= 1.59
Derty's Nice Hoosier QTP, on 8.5 Convo pro= 1.50
Harold nice almost new ET Drags on 7.5 CP= 1.44 :bow:
I did run out of juice, so only got 2 runs on juice, the other run was a 1.45 60'. I wasn't prepared with the bottles, because I wasn't sure if I was going to run or not today. I'm glad I went, and had a good time with AL and Rod, even though Rod slept in the car most of the time:rolleyes:
9's next year baby!!
