Woot! First 1/4 times!

All I've been able to run is the 1/8 around here so I finally made my way down to a 1/4 track. I was hoping for a 13.9 at the best really. Well, I was quite surprised.

Best run:
RT: .744 (I was sleeping)
60: 1.951
330: 5.705
1/8: 8.808
MPH: 79.00
1000: 11.492
1/4 13.736
MPH: 100.07

Made a total of 3 passes. Third run I broke my tranny mount....again. 60's were nice to me all day in the 1.9 area on street tires. Pulled off two other 13.7s at 100.xx.

Wow I'm really excited about this. Car just surprised me today. 137k everything is stock except what's listed in the sig.

Good runs man. I have a friend with a 77 Camaro that has a midly built 355 in it and he runs some 1.7 60ft on street tires. These are the big mickey thompson street tires with a tread with of like 13 inches. He tried some 10 inch slicks but he didn't pick his 60fts up any. His car hooks good off the line and runs 8.10s in the 1/8 normally and has made a 7.99 run in the 1/8 with street tires 1 time. Keep up and get the tranny mount fixed.
