Man last night was awesome I ran 12's all night long, and long trail of 12.9@103 & 104mph. I was cutting non stop 1.7 60's. All it took was stalling it up much higher, and dropping the pressure in my DR's a lot. Needless to say I was so happy I reached my 12 sec goal, but the best run of the night was this:

R/T:.092
60': 1.421
330: 4.970
1/8: 7.923
mph: 82.98
1000: 10.491
1/4:12.663
mph: 103.86

I was stunned, and very pleased. The car hooked HARD, I could definitely tell a difference between it and all the 1.7s I ran before it. I gave my car a well deserved rest after that. It was a very very good night.

 

You shouldnt have put it to rest, more like try to back that crazy 1.4 60ft up.
The 12.9 is impressive alone. Good job man

 

What tires are you running?

 

I did go and run again that night, and run a few more 1.7s and 12.9s. I couldn't stall up like I did on the 1.4 60' run.

You see Montgomery Motorsports Park lets people stand down by the burnout box even if they arent crew. Thus cars dont have enough room to drive around the water box so the box gets bigger and bigger. I dont use skinnys so I have to drive through this huge water box so after that you can see hooking becomes an issue. Not to mention I stalled the hell out of my car that run, but when I went to back it up I couldnt stall as high since I had wet front tires, so stalling so high would push me through the lights.

I almost ran somepeople over cause they were in my way. They **** me off to no end, and are so thoughtlessly rude. We have huge bleacher stands in place, but where do they wanna stand? Right in the way. So the tower asked everyone to move back, but it was to late by then, water was everywhere and there is no way around it. They started to creep back up a few runs later. The track is awesome, the staff is great, but the spectators suck, and the security sucks they need to move those people. Anyway to end my rant I did run again but the track wasnt there anymore.

I love my Fuddle Stall

I don't mean to sound pissimistic but, I think it's possible that you staged with your back tires. I can't see a 1.4 60' being possible with the mods you have listed...especially considering that your other passes were consistent 1.7 60'.

 

No offense taken, I don't know if it is possible or not. I do know it is very uncommon though. I checked my slip, and with the exception of my 1/4 mile ET, and 60' it is pretty consistant to my other runs. Just slightly faster, but I traped the same speeds in the 1/8th and 1/4th on a couple other runs. It did hook very hard that run, and have never stalled my car that hard either.

 

Yeah the 1.42 is a misprint or clock error, so what. Great runs and usage of advice given in earlier threads.
What exactly to the second decimal place were all your other 60's?

 

Yeah AL SS590 M6 I took what you said and put it to use on my first run and ran in the 12s all night long. I cannot thank you, and the other members enough for all your help, and support. Apparantly I was to easy on it last week, the additional stalling, and lower psi REALLY changed how hard I could leave the line.

1.75 is what the vast majority of what my 60's averaged before the water box got out of control. I hit them consistantly with 12.9 sec ETs about 5-6 times in a row excluding that 12.6 run.

The 60' was great and all on that 12.6 run, and I am sure I ran something good in the 60' but that was not what I was most impressed about. The mid 12 sec ET and higher trap was really what I liked. It told me I had more in the car with its current set up and that all I wanted to know.

Is it wrong for me to use my 12.6 et in my sig?

 

It's not "wrong" but some believe that without a near backup run that it shouldn't be held as your best. To solve that just go out and run another one.
If you were running 1.75s to get 12.9s then the 60 for the 12.66 would have been maybe a 1.62.
If you take your slips and compare each time break side by side you can how much faster your 330 is and 660 and 1000 then you can tell whether it's a good time slip or not.

 

Well of course Ill try and run it again, but I will take your advice I change my signature. I dont wanna come off as something I am not. I still havent dropped the sway bar off, do you think it will help enough to drop my 1.75's to 1.60s? How did it work for you? Also once I take it off can I leave it off? Is it not recommended? I know when "Hard" corrning you need it, but thats very subjective.

 

the removal of the sway bar helps a decent bit with weight transfer. i think youll get closer to a low 1.7. I dont have one and never really felt that big of a difference to make me wanna put it back on. Everyone is different though, some say dont leave it off some say its ok. All up to you.

 

i drove around without one for about a year with zero problems

 

Do you race in a straight line? or around corners? Take it off. IMHO, I couldnt tell a difference driving the car on the street.

 

What nitrous set up do you use camz? how big a shot did it take to get you from 13.0 to 11.9?

 

I’m also somewhat skeptical about that 1.42 60ft time (and only once), sounds too good to be true. Considering your current set-up and both the 330 and 660 ft times, the 1.42 is out-of-bounds for those times. For example; my friend’s bracket car runs 10.10s to 10 flat and it has consistent 1.41 60ft times.
