Default I finally got traction!!!

Well, I went to the track this weekend and had a somewhat successful time.
My first run of the day was a 12.8 @ 111.
The second one was 12.7 @ 111.
The third was 12.6 @ 111.75 w/ 1.972 60ft (current best) stupid open diff
I missed 3rd on my next run and hit 13.1 @ 110.
My last run was 13.0 @ 110.

My stock clutch was getting pretty angry by this time. It was 84 degrees. Our elevation is 100ft. All times were obtained with a 4500rpm clutch drop, shifting at redline, 23psi on Eagle F1 275/40-18 (18x9.5 ADR's).

2006.5 Daytona Base CP
Mods:
Megan Racing Headers, Test pipes, Y-Pipe, Exhaust, K&N filter, 75hp Holley NOS kit, NX Express, WOT switch, 1 step colder plugs.

I'm wondering how well I'll do with a set of BFG DR's and a 6K launch.
I want to get to 11.9 with a 100 shot and race gas before I put the car away.

pacific raceways? i know their website claims 100 feet, but according to all the nav systems that i've had a chance to peek at while i was there, it was more like 300-350.

good times, and great 60 ft for street tires!

I dont drive it much nowadays. I have 17k on it. I got it brand new. Alas, I just scored a '79 Mustang Cobra that's sreaming for a 347 stroker and 200 shot.

There's Z's in junkyards? I've been looking everywhere in a 50 mile radius. I should probably expand my horizons.

I still get killed by the guys I bracket race with. They are all running G8's, GTO's and F bodies...hence the team being Northwest F-Bodies. My CRX auto runs 17.6 @ 78 all day long though.
