Saw Ryan, his dad, and Runs10s at the track with a few others... nice to see everyone. PIR was really slow tonight, even after we had to watch the Pro Ralley guys show us how bad their cars are at drag racing.
So here's the meat:
1.655 60'
5.218 330'
8.195 1/8
82.14 mph
10.766 1000'
12.945 @ 103.03 1/4
1.658 60
5.204 330'
8.179 1/8
82.30 mph
10.751 1000'
12.932 @ 102.95 1/4
1.692 60'
5.194 330'
8.165 1/8
82.34 mph
10.733 1000'
12.911 @ 102.99 1/4
I had one more run, a 13.02 with a 1.697 against a All Ford Hatch that ran 12.6. During this last run I heard a really loud BANG from the right rear at about 20' and again when I made the turn at the end of the track. I did drive home, but I dont know what happened. I figure either the upper control arm torque box is mashed, the diff is broken, or I was somehow able to drive and run fine on a broken axle (not likely).
Im really excited to have my 12s with the stock longblock... even if it took cracking Ryan up with my weed sprayer cooling methodology.
I also had a friend there photographing the launches, and I sky'ed the tires on all 3 runs. I look forward to showing those off.
The items I changed from last week are..
1. remembering to stiffen the rear suspension from off the street.
2. running on 8.5 inch wide slicks instead of 10.5 (thanks for the suggestion Chung).
These two items took .05-.07 off my 60' with little effect on the MPH, although is was a little lower than a couple weeks ago with the 10-15 mph head wind tonight.

I needed to have this one rebuilt anyways.
