Default New Best at Richmond Dragway

Car finally hooked up. Car was in street trim, 17" tires all around. Anyone not already running Spohn Suspension is missing out . Here is the proof:

1st run

60ft: 1.7439
1/8: 7.8681 @ 87.48 MPH
1/4: 12.3454 @ 110.08 (new best)

2nd run

60ft: 1.7218
1/8: 7.8497 @ 87.43 MPH
1/4: 12.3405 @ 109.68 MPH

I wanted some more runs so I went ahead and ran some bracket racing. I dialed in a 12.25. Here are two more runs

1st run
60ft: 1.6893
1/8: 7.7955 @ 87.65 MPH (new best)
1/4: 12.2683 @ 110.02 MPH (new best)

2nd run

60ft: 1.6810 (new best)
1/8: 7.7955 @ 87.43 MPH
1/4: 12.2819 @ 109.65 MPH

Nice guys!
I thought about going today in the Talon until I fried my clutch last night.
I'm finally getting all the bugs worked out of the system, and it sounds like you guys are too. Congrats!

I think there is more in it also. It can definatly 60ft in the 1.5xx with some practice. It only took me 6 passes to run a 1.68 60ft..
