Hi everyone,

It was sunny - good wind - but that same wind kept the track cool...I slipped and slided to a best MPH of 142.60 and best ET for the day of 10.45 (last run in the video)...

I had to short shift 1st to 2nd everytime and even into 3rd on a few runs...it was still a great day and got some good video thanks to my friend Shawn Ricketts...

Neil - I sent the footage to you...

So much to come for next season!

Enjoy!

Thanks - there really is going to be a completely new set of results on pump gas when I get the new LC and some tires...

Not to mention the race fuel runs...Winter is going to suck...

*Edit; please use 720P as 1080 seems to be having some issues...

Jeremy...consider getting some CCW drag wheels on M/T's. That should help...I run that setup with the E55, SL65, and eventually the GTR. Great video!

Thanks Jon - I will be checking many a rim and tire out before making a decision....I will check out your sugegstion...I just can't wait to see what the car can do with traction and LC...

Just found out that there was almost no glue on the track as it had frozen because it is not stored properly. It really was an ice rink...
I also found out a Vette did a 9.95 @ 138 MPH that same day (on slicks of course) - so I know that my MPH is at least good for a 9 second pass on pump gas.

awesome run there vtk

traction will put you in the nines most likley... that vette is my bud phil he runs on a mt dr not a slick... you might want to look into that tire for you he looves it. 1.4 shorts he runs. craziness! cant wait to have a gtr up here in the nines... would be awesome.

Cheers

btw what was your 60' time?

Thanks Codzilla - my 60 foot times are an amazing 2.01 on average. My best pump gas run was 10.3 @ 142.55 MPH - with a 60 time of 1.97.

I only DREAM of 1.4's (heck I dream of 1.7's)...

Cheers!

Thanks big Sam - thanks to you, I'm going to look to upgrade my diff casing as well - as I intend to be at the track every week this 2012 season - and when I get the LC and tires use my race fuel settings...

I want to get the slips/video AND keep my car in one piece.

Nice vid by the way!

Thanks Wes - I'm not sure if I saw you up in Mississauga by Derry and Mississauga road not too long ago?

Yes - I hope to do high 9's on pump and low 9's on race fuel...the car feels very strong...

Next Spring - I will be going to the track pretty much every week. Let me know if you want to go...
