North East SSoM Members!!!

got the car ready, mounted the new prostars (big and littles) headed to the track!

i made it 5 miles from my house and blew a rear tire. So brand new ET Street destroyed as well as the wheel..WTF??? so Fred and i swap on my Nitto DRs and leave the skinnies on and keep headed to the track. I get there and my Fuel pres guage dies!!!! i quickly fixed that and then the window won't go up!!! ARRRRGGGGGHHH!! i pull the SVTperf patented door trick and up the window goes

i made 2 passes...and both sucked on the crappy Nitto DRs

12.31 @ 116 with a 1.91 60

12.33 @ 117 with a 2.01 60

spinning with a hint of hop through 1st and 2nd and part of 3rd on both runs

Ambient temp was 92F, HIGH humidity + a headwind. Last time i raced at BMP i went 12.02 @ 120

3ths and a 3MPH loss with way more heat and humidity isn't too bad considering last time i ran it 50F outside and had a tailwind, but damn i wanted to test out my new ET Streets!

oh well, i'll get the yellow slowness in the 11s yet dammit! today just sucked from the start Lol...and i drove the bitch home so it wasn't that bad of a day

heres a pic of my first launch...1.9 60

launched at 3k

How is Fred doing?
That sucks to blow a brand new tire and mess up the rim. That really hurts.
Took my car out for the first spin of the season. I missed that power and hearing the wastegate open up. I think I startled some Harley riders on the side of the road while they were taking a break. They turned around quick to see what was making all the noise when the wastegate opened up.
Love the acceleration, gets the heart thumping.:D
 
If you had not blown your MT's you prob could have gotten 11's. My goal is to hit low 12's this year on Motor :D

Just got off the phone w/ Chris the car is going on the shop next friday for the parts install, cant wait !!!!


Guess your blown Cobra and my N/A cobra both run 12's :D
 
He said its been very busy latley so thats a good thing. Hes hoping to be getting done the rail road at some point. Im pretty sure hes got enough to keep him busy at the shop. Im going to go to the Bony Eagle car show but I dont know if the car will be done or not, depends on how much he gets done by saturday, wish I could get it done before the weekend but Id rather have him take his time on it anyway.

no doubt..all i needed was a 1.7 60 and a clean run

it was sooooo damn hot!

i was 3mph down, the nitrous cars were running 4-5mph down. Havocs car was running 10.0s when it usually runs 9.70s

way to much heat and humidty and no VHT lol
 
I'm sure he will make sure its done right.
I hope the weather is good for the show. I still have to take off my bumper cover and put the other one on. Got the high speed side of the radiator fan hooked up to a relay and switch.
I was thinking about it today and realized I didn't do anything to the car over the winter. I didn't crawl underneath it once.

yeah thats damn hot to be running anyway. Why no VHT? I thought they bathed that track in it? Sounds more like Epping to me :rlaugh: I should be able to get 1.7 60FT this year, has not gone well so far but I think the car needs a basic tune up. Good luck with your 11's, you should be able to get it, other then Shaw has anyone else gotten 11's? I know dan was really close but not sure if he ever did, and Im not sure about bryan either. I know mike was at 11.7
