damronjr 09-25-2009, 10:41 PM Wow, saw your 1/8mi time ET was 9.101, best I've gotten with just the Stage 1 kit in the 1/8th is 9.2!
wxman 09-25-2009, 11:15 PM What was on the left? He smoked you. :nuts:
08redhhrss 09-25-2009, 11:30 PM Not off the line he didn't ;-) lol it was a very clean Evolution. I was racing the clock, I knew I didnt stand a chance against him.
Tominator 09-26-2009, 07:45 AM That's a damn good run!
I was at the track one night and a cold front stalled just west of us.
There were 12 records broken that night...and my Roadrunner held off the competition for 2 years.
Ok, it was a long time ago....
But that cool dense air does some amazing things!:thumb:
jeffs396 09-26-2009, 08:08 AM Excellent Adam! :thumb:
Could be a 13.7 if you take out that back seat! :lol:
08redhhrss 09-26-2009, 08:27 AM LOL, yeah I just don't want to look like all the ricers that take their back seats out to get from 16 seconds to 15. I don't feel it an honest time when things are stripped. To each is own though. Hopefully the video will be posted today. It isn't on my camera so we'll see.
SOMBERSHARK0714 09-26-2009, 08:54 AM Congrats !! its a shame that our SS's wont ever make really good, consistent 60 fts. :(
That is a great time! Congrats
The best I have done is in my signature, but it was also pretty warm when I went. It should feel pretty good that you ran that close to an Evo considering the difference in price that we paid for our cars.

Yeah, our track has pretty good prep, where I seem to lose time is between the 1-2 shift. Between the 60ft and 330 is where I need to improve. Sometimes I get so much traction into 2nd gear it almost bogs it down for a split second then builds again. The other pass I made that night at the 330 mark was almost 6.3 and I ran a 14.19. On my 13 sec pass the 330 mark was a 6.06. The 60's were really close, but to the 330 mark is where I gained.

That's a really good time also! I wonder why the mph is low though, seems like that's the mph they run stock

I have run 102mph, but those runs were in the lower 14s. I cant figure out why my car runs so wierd. When I nail the 60' I run higher 14s. When I blow the 60' I run really high mph but lower 14's. I just cant figure it out.
Lack of experience at the track I guess?!?

08redhhrss 09-26-2009, 01:34 PM yeah, these aren't the easiest things to drive at the track. it it was easy, everyone would do it!!
MetallicaMatt 09-26-2009, 02:35 PM alright alright Adam, here are the videos!

This one is a back to back of your first run of the day (14 seconds) vs the second run (13 seconds) - that cooler, denser air helped out a ton, as everyone can see...good job!
