Got back to the track for the first time in a couple of months. Didn't run a new best, but it did run pretty well for the trim it was in. I got 2 new 17x9 Cobra Rs to put my drag radials, so each wheel was roughly 8 pounds heavier than my old 17x8 wheels on which I ran my best pass. The DA was also about 500 feet worse than before, which normally accounts for around .1 and 1 mph on my car with the non-intercooled blower.
My best last night was a 12.72 @ 108 mph with a 1.89 60'. That's only .15 and 1.5 mph from my best, but with a worse 60', worse weather, about 30 pounds more rotationion weight, and more weight in the interior. So I was very happy with how it ran.
I only got a few videos from last night, none from outside the car because no one else went with me, but I did get to try out my new camera mount. It's basically just a bar with a slot cut in it to go in the headrest, and then a hole drilled at the other end for the camera to mount to. I was pretty happy with how well it worked, and I'll definitely be using it some more in the future.

On the 1st, 2nd, and 4th videos, I was running Bob (tank_567) with his turbo 4.6 GT. His car was a ton faster than mine, but between him missing a gear one one pass, and "giving me a head start" on another rolleyes: ), we had several really fun races. Maybe I can do a little better job keeping up next time I go. rubhands
