New Best Today!

We had a track rental today at Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD...55-60 degrees...great weather for racing...I think I've finally got everything working as it should...Now we'll try some QA1s and a roll bar...

60' 1.55
1/8 7.21
MPH 94.05
1/4 11.36
MPH 119.75

...and backed it up with an identical run. All runs were N/A on 275 50 R15 M/T radials at 13.5 lbs with an off idle launch...

Re: New Best Today!

Nice job Alan, but I can't remember, what was your previous best? And on a side note, now that everything is one with the world and you probably said to yourself once I do these last few things to reach a new PB I'll stop the mods and just enjoy, what's next?

My previous best with shorties and stock wp with 16x8s and 255 M/T radials was 11.51 @ 118.18...

I know I said I was done, but now I'm thinking about QA1s and coil over rears, maybe true duals, maybe 3.90 gears, and definitely a 6 point bar..So much for being done...

...and Floorin04, you is too funny!!
