330 ----- 6.520

1/8 ------ 9.885

MPH ---- 39.23 ????

1000 --- 12.775

1/4 ----- 15.219

MPH ---- 92.59

I hope to eventually get in the 13's before too long, but have to work a few things out with my finances first. I'll be working very closely with blown_xA to get my car up to par.
You'll be the first SC'ed tC in the 13s if you do..

And what's up with the 1/8th trap speed? 39mph?? Was that a typo or is there ANOTHER problem with the time slips at that track?

1.5 60' times, now 39mph 1/8th trap speed.

What do you expect when a Tornados come ripping through all of Middle Tennessee, and Souther Kentucky. Two weekends in a row, at least 8 Tornados on both weekends in one day. It's bound to screw with something. However, for the most part, the cars that participated, have ran their cars on previous tracks before, and were coming up with the same 1/4 mile #'s as they did on previous tracks. The Blown xA guy was running 14.3's at another track back home, and he was doing the same consistent times on this track (after it dried up that is). And Mike from Jersey reported constant 14.9's back home, and that is also what he was doing at this track too.

Remember when you flamed me because I posted that 1.5 60'. and I said that it could have been off, but the 1/4 times were accurate. And we got into this whole theory that if part of the time slip was off, then the rest would be too. Now do you see why the thread got locked when I said we ran a 14.822. You didn't want to believe me, but this shows that there were parts of the slips that had difficulties, but the 1/4 times were accurate.


You also have to keep in mind that when you go from R/T to 60' foot time to 1/8 time....In between those times, the possibility of missing a gear/bogging the engine/etc.. will reflect on the rest of the time slip.

I think the 14.8 is possible, I'm not arguing that.. (even though it is hard to believe considering how messed up your timeslip was). I just wanted to know what your 60' & 1/8th mile times were on that run.. And I guess we'll never know.

The best accurate time slip I've seen from you is a 15.1, and I think that is very respectable. Congratulations.

Its Valet, and ive parked quite a few 100k + cars since ive been in the business, but ive never parked a car in that manner...LoL

I hope the TN tC vs. TRD SC tC was a wet run, those times were terrible. Im sure it was though.

Yes how much boost was the silver ZPI tC pushing?
And in the video, was that the sound of the turbo winding down as he was going to the starting line?
