Default Best time slips from Braggin rights

Whats up guys! I ran in Bragging Rights yesterday and had a great time!All cars had to be street legal. You heads up race who ever you want to and at the end of the day awards were handed out for fastest in each class and closest to .00 in each second class. I was trying for the closest to 14.00. I got 8 runs in and my closest 2 runs to 14.00 were 14.013 and 14.023! At the end of the day I was confident I had won! Wrong, some dude in a Tiburon ran a 14.00! Oh well I'll get 'em next year! Anyway, I met some cool people and out of my 8 runs I went 6-2. I lost to a ford lighting(supercharged) that ran a 12.4 and a '94 camaro that ran a 13.4. I did get to race and beat a g35 and another 350z. Below are my 2 best time slips from the day. Can't wait till next year!

those are some nice runs for a 5at. I was wondering why the time was a little slow with a 2.0 60', but it makes sense now. But you did gain 20mph in the last 1/8, so now im confused all over again!

I suspect that you are #711I? Respectable 60-foot times and ET. BTW how did you win the 12:20 PM race?

I'm surprised you didn't win the braggin rights, but there are some good racers around and then there is the luck part. Nice times! Our trap speeds are a lot different. I'll bring these last slips to work and scan them, but as an example.
60' 1.991
330' 5.723
1/8 8.882
mph 79.80
1000' 11.584 (no mph)
1/4 13.887
mph 97.19

5AT

No and I think what is happening is the ECU is making the engine run richer as I go. the exhaust tips are sooty black after a night of racing. i have JWT intake borla exhaust and 3.5 diff.

What psi are you running in your tires? I think we talked about this before. The more I keep adding the faster my ET gets. I went from 97mph to 99mph by adding 5lbs psi all around. Saturday I added another lb and broke 100 and 101mph.My psi all around is 36psi. I think you said the more you added the worst your ET got. Anyway that's what works for me.

I have found that I get my best times with the Michelin PS's at 25-26# hot. I have run 35# and I lose traction in 1st and second launching from an idle.
