Re: Finally hits 11s

Thanx guys, last year I went 12.1 at 121.04 at RockFalls. So technically I am a bit faster and a little quicker this year. I did have serious problems blowing the crappy couplers apart a few weeks ago, but I finally solved the issue and bought good 4-ply ones. As to the timing I think I finally got it somewhat right (thank you Shane for the long explanation over the phone). I think I am gonna try one more time later this year when it gets colder and see if I can gain a couple more mph and then for next year I am considering a new tranny & the FP3575 with some double springs so I can rev the crap out of it.

I was the fastest car on the track, but the quickest was one of those little Mexican Toyotas (the really loud ones), except this one was quiet and had a turbo. He was running 11.2s at about 115 or so.

Here are some pics of last years timeslip and the destroyed coupler
