Well i set out today to break into the 14's because i knew i wasn't gonna do so well with 245 street tires....boy was i wrong!!! First pass i launch at 2 grand slipping the clutch and get very little spin resulting in a 1.99 60' time...i hit all the shifts perfect at 5300, and when i got my timeslip i almost **** myself!!! With just exhaust and a CAI for power mods, i ran 14.25@95!!! I'm still in shock
2nd pass I didn't slip the clutch enough and lit the tires up in 1st gear, with a 2.25 60' resulting in a 15.09@94...
3rd pass was the first round of eliminations and i dialed a 14.60 to be safe... I tried babying it outta the hole a lil bit and i didn't really slip, but i also didn't get a good jump outta the box which came out to a 14.68@95 with a 2.26 60'..
This doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of my day! Not only was that the first time i ever raced my car, but it was the first time my dad has ever driven the Nova also...in his 9 years of drag racing the chevelle, he has never made it past the 3rd round of eliminations....tonight, he made it to the FINAL!
Unfortunately, he red lit, and the race was over, but he cut a best time of the day at 10.25@130
Sorry for this being so long, but i'm very excited!!:SNSign: I'll post pics up tomorrow
