Angry Still didn't get into the 11s

Got a best time of 12.08@115.1 on a 1.72 60'. I made my runs at Tri-State Raceway in IA and the DA was 3390'. I think I will be going to the track again this weekend (another 400 miles roundtrip) to try to get my slip.
The only thing that changed was the addition of 4.10 gears over the 3.73s and a new Eaton posi.
On the way down to the track it was pouring rain and my Nittos decided they wanted to go off roading. The car hydroplaned and went into a ditch. There was no damage to the car or myself. I was hoping to become the first car to ever get pulled out of a ditch and run 11s within the same weekend but only got close.

Get that vig stalled to 3400 to 3600 and you will be well into the 11s. I loved mine. 1.51s all day long in 90 degree weather

That DA is killing your time, sounds like the weather wasnt great either. Any case becarefull and good luck, any where else you would have hit deep 11s by now

Yeah, I'd love to bring the car down to somewhere like Houston during the winter when they get like -1500 DAs.
I need to start changing stuff in my suspension to make it more drag oriented (still has stock shocks, and lowering springs) and get some skinnies for the front and stickier tires out back. Then I think an 11.8 would be achievable with a low 1.6 60'.

That ole CC306 is a ******! I am sure you will get into the 11's soon. I could get into the 10's N/A if I tried some more gear/converter combo but I like n2o too much.
