    TnT Tonight - New best ...

    Went to PRP tonight for TnT ... Plan was to break in the new Quick Time Pro's and get some shots at the tree. Later in the evening, the air got decent ....

    And I FINALLY got my 11 second pass!!!

    60' - 1.59 (lots left here actually)
    330' - 4.87
    1/8th - 7.60 at 90.95
    1000' - 9.96
    1/4 - 11.94 at 117.49

    The tires was finally coming into their own. I have a video to get uploaded ... I'm pretty happy with it now

    Thanks Everyone!

    John - Indeed, left lane MPH. Next weekend I will be at Thompson where I can trust the MPH clocks. Timeslip for reference ...

    Congrats on the run Bob!

    The mph from lane to lane are identical for me, must be the car. If you are testing on a TNT and want accurate numbers why dont you stay in the lane that you know is not affected by your car?

    Thanks Mike.

    The MPH was the same for me last year too. When I took the Eibach launch springs out and went to coil overs, I dropped the nose almost 2" and the MPH differences are back. I saw them with the original springs in this car, but those springs cleared it. The "change" from before for me is that the left lane is fast as alot of people see, but for some reason the right lane now reads slow. I think Ed also saw this in his car. I always test in one lane and everything but the 1/4 MPH matches from me down track in both lanes.

    Mark - I'm there for most TnT's either working on something or watching. Let me know when you might want to head up. I want to see that thing go :D

    Happy to break through that barrier Ed!

    Well, there goes the 12.0 average in True Street plan ;)
    Congrats Bob, I'm sure it feels good to finally get it.
    And I guess I'll run in the left lane when my POS gets here :)

    Well ... not really, it seems I can hold the 12.0X pretty well, but think I need a 11.9X to have room to work for the average. Add in having to run in the heat, and I'm not sure I'm there yet, but am getting more comfortable.

    Yeah, except you WILL need a parachute :D

    And the saga continues ... went to the track today for some bracket racing.

    1st pass the car wouldn't go into third.

    Slow shifted the second pass and the clutch slipped in second ... damn damn damn

    1st round I got lucky with a red light against me and it slipped again. We tried t oadjust it, put all the freee play in it I could ...

    2nd round it slipped again and didn't run the number....

    Decission point for me .... we will see what comes next.
