You'll get better with more practice. This kind of stuff can show auto-x snobs that drag racing isn't as easy as it looks.

Well the good news is if you put down a normalish 1.7, 60 foot, you should crack high 10's.

Did you let off upstairs on the pictured 12.02 run? I figured it would trap about 128ish.

But you got out and it's still running!

Edit: I'd try about 18 PSI of tire pressure next time as well.

Was good to see you today! Nice job - first step is just trying it and you didn't break anything, so that's a win in my book.

Usually cutting .1 off your sixty foot will cut about .2 off your total time. If you can even get that to a 2.0 60', you're low 11s.

And yeah - running a 12.02 @ 122 with a 2.5 60'.. I'm betting you let off too early Dave. She has a lot more in there!

[Murlo26]

I did let off early I think...like I said didn't notice there was a light until like my last run. I think I even started breaking lol

[Goat Blower]

Cool video angle, gives you a chance to see what you're doing during a run.

Good runs, yeah, it takes a lot of practice. You learn something on almost every pass, but it's still tough to get a clean pass every time. Good runs for the first time out though, I probably have 200+ passes all in the low 12's trapping about 118-119. When I had more power and trapped 124-125mph, I ran an 11.9, once. FAIL! :D

C'mon Aaron, don't be shy!

^Not being shy, being drunk. Came home, cleaned up and partied all night till 4am.

I did a couple of 11.8@90, was an eventful day. Someone put the clamp on my heater core hose at the very end of the pipe and when I pulled in for tech the back of my motor was covered in coolant so I got to deal with that, then I discovered that I have way too high crankcase pressure so I didn't want to make a full pass and risk fucking the track up with oil.

I did finally get a new best 60' of 1.590, not amazing but i'll take it.

There is so much to learn in launching the car its mindblowing. Sorry I wasn't there to help you more murlo, next time for sure.

[carltalon]

Damn Aaron 11.8 getting out of it that car has alot left. whens the next outing with full passes?

[turbotalon1g]

^Not sure, trying to figure out catch can stuff right now. If i could get a trailer I'd like to do some passes at CFR, but to be honest I don't know if I trust this car to drive that far.

I could stay home that weekend and do the fun day at RFR. But I have off work every track weekend apart from the 5-7 oct.
