New Record Time!

[gasketmaster]

We went out to PIR last night and made a few passes

That 11.99 is REALLY making me work for it.......LOL!!!

Here were the results from my minivan

[Speedeuphoria]

So close, are you still spinning off the line?

You'll get it, so damn close.

It was hooking really good with a new personal best sixty foot of 1.80

I'm moving my shift chip up another 200 rpm tonight......maybe it will deliver the goods

You lost 2 mph.... hope that's not an indication of something to come.

Gus always used to say that when his mph went down, he would change his tranny fluid and it would go right back up.

Time for a flush?

Hey Steve.....I hope it's not either....LOL!!!

I've only ran 112 mph once on a very smooth track

I've ran 110-111(mostly 111) about 30 passes in a row now....LOL!!!

I made a major gear change along with a tire height change AND a shift point change....LOL!!!

I was working my way back up on shift rpm last night. I'm almost back to where I have been shifting it since it's been in the 12's

The trans fluid has 10 passes on it....I have a fairly strict service schedule on those types of things

Just another pound of boost. The weather is getting cooler so I'm sure you'll get it before the end of season.

he's hooking better, mph goes down, ET goes down.

spin the tires out off the line, mph goes up, et goes up.

Congrats Terry, especially on your new best 60'!

My brother called me on my cell right after your 12.065 pass and I started kicking myself for not going to the track. Will you be out next Friday night? It would be great to meet you and check out that fine machine.

Update? I take it from this post that you were going to run it last night again?

[Directconnection]

Looking at your 12.0 slip... both cars have al;most identical 1/8th mile ET and mph, and the same for the 1/4 mile...but look at the in between at the 1,000 foot mark. 1-1/2 second difference? That timer must have screwed up on that area somehow but got the other back on track. Either that, or you hit the nawz hard at the 1/8th and the tank ran out right after the 1000ft mark.

I went but I didn't run the minivan. It was raining off and on so I decided we would just run the Sundance

I saw that

There must have been a glitch in the 1000' timer in my lane but it didn't seem to effect any of the other measurements. If you look at the 12.08 slip everything but the 1000' time looks very similar

Nice Job Terry

One of the local guys went 12.004 with his Shadow a little while before running 11's now it is a solid 11.50s car tho

[Dave]

I just got to really looking and your R/Ts are as bad as mine.

Thanks

I just need good air with no wind and I think we'll have it

Everytime I've been to PIR lately the wind is blowing up the track towards the starting line at pretty good pace.........less than perfect conditions for a bus race....LOL!!!

When I'm going for my best ET I don't even watch the lights after the first amber.......LOL!!!

However.......I ran another Heads Up style race last weekend and nailed everybodys azz on the tree except the guy that red lit and gave me the round

I got down to the final 4 cars before a 68-69 Charger put a fender on me right at the stripe. He had an aluminum headed big block with a Dominator carb and a 12" slick so I didn't feel so bad...LOL!!! I left on him so hard I thought I had him until I saw that black fender roll up on my right just as I clicked 3rd. It was an eight mile track setup on an airport runway.......good times!!!
