Last night was a ton of fun... dry air in the low 60's and a nicely prepped track at VMP. I was shooting for 11's on street tires, but I didn't quite make it. However...

I set a new personal best 12.156 @ 116.78

60' 1.905
330 5.456
1/8 7.932
MPH 92.49
1000 10.221
1/4 12.156
MPH 116.78

I was running on Kumho Ecsta MX steret tires (my VIR rear wheels/tires) @ 25 psi rear and 40 psi front. Did a burnout until I could see smoke then launched anywhere from 2500 to 3000 rpms w/ a little clutch slip and a semi-granny shift into 2nd gear to prevent excess wheel hop.

My most fun race of the night was against a pullied down '03 cobra. I've met the guy a few tiems before at the strip, but he was alway stock and running low 13's. I asked him if he'd finally gotten smart and pullied the car. He had and was maknig 450 at the wheels and running on DR's. I can't find the time slip... shit.

oh well, I tree'd him w/ a .052 rt to his .1xx but he ran a 1.90 60' to my 1.97 so we were dead even. Then we were basicaly side by side screamin' the whole way down the track, we kept on looking over at each other, dead even. I pulled about 1/2 a car by the end and won the race. It was a 12.25 @ 116.xx to his 12.31 @ 114.xx. He loved it... said it was the best drag he'd had and was going home.

 

Nice times. My buddy broke 11's 2 weeks ago at vmp. 11.80 @117/1.7 60' w/slicks
It's a crx full interior, stock internals.

 

I know the car has it in her, but I don't want to move to DR's to do it.
