I got two runs in tonight. First run was horrible, ran a 14.6@100.5mph with a 2.4 '60. I had NO time to revv up and get a proper launch, by the time I was staged the light turned green. I spun through second gear, so I let off the gas and shifted at 5500rpm. Obviously this and the fact I was discombobulated the entire time killed everything. I ran against an '03 Cobra that ran a 13.7@104 with a 2.1 '60....maybe he let off the gas at the end?
Anyways, so I went back and got a second run in before they closed the gates. I ran against a Trans Am with a LOUD exhaust. I got a horrible '60 once again, with no time to prepare a good launch. I ended up just revving up and slipping out the clutch, trying to modulate them. The Trans Am killed me off the line, but by the time I shifted into third I literally pulled him like he was standing still and beat him by about 9 cars. It was amazing how much I pulled after the 1/8th mile after I finally hooked up. I got a worse '60 than the first time, yet got my best run. I short shifted again, but at 6200rpm instead of 5500rpm. I spun horribly the entire 1/8th mile half way through 3rd. Anyways, here are the stats directly from my timeslip:
R/T --- 1.156
'60 --- 2.565
330 --- 6.493
1/8 --- 9.555
MPH --- 81.46
1000 --- 12.172
1/4 --- 14.368
MPH --- 101.15
If I got some drag radials, practice, and shifted at redline instead of short shifting before the peak power, I was told I could nail low 13's all night long. Both my runs were extremely sloppy, in every way possible.
So....there you have it. I had a blast and am going back first thing next wednessday, and will try to get at least 6 runs in. My brother said people in the crowd kept whispering about my Cobra and when the Trans Am killed me off the line they all said "wooo looks like that Cobras gonna get nailed" or something like that. Then as soon as I got traction and rocketed past him, they were all like Ohhh *****!! Anyways, great experience....its now in my blood.

But none of this mattered becuase the track was like Ice, and I have had a much easier time hooking on the freakin' street.
