1.696 60ft equals I still suck 11.102@125.23mph
Well at the last minute I decided to make another cecil run due to the weather was to be really nice and it was. On my runs the DA varied from -104DA to +44DA with a on site Weather machine.
So I made my traditional 1000ftish run to start the nite and see how she's doing. I hooked and bogged and ran it out a bit and left off and hit the brakes. I let the car cool down and we have someone hit the wall, couple break downs and a oil down. So I figured oh well might aswell make this my full pass of the nite. Note on this pass someone was nice enough to put blue tape over my license plate and write "I LOVE *****... MMM GOOD" on it and let me drive through the pits and lanes. NICE ONE DEVILISH!!!
So I make my 2nd and last pass and I try launching even harder and think I hazed the clutch lightly and it felt reallly good so I stayed into it for the entire pass. Once again no 10's for me. Heres the run down.
1st pass
60ft-1.805 bogged bad
330ft-4.895
1/8mi-7.380
1/8mph-99.60
1000ft-9.533
1/4mi-11.840
1/4mph-87.98mph
2nd pass and final pass
60ft-1.696-new best-clutch hazed badly though
330ft-4.740
1/8mi-7.216
1/8mph-99.71
1000ft-9.317
1/4mi--11.102
1/4mi-125.23mph which is low
Previous best with several year old Mickey THompson 275/40/17's
60ft-1.762
330ft-4.746
1/8m-7.211
1/8mph-100.11
1000ft-9.305
1/4mi-11.096
1/4mph-126.73
This was with not as good of weather. So IMO the new Hoosier 315/30/17's are hurting me. I dont understand how the websites say the Mickey thomspon DR is 26.0 tall and the hoosier 315 is 25.60 tall but side by side my Hoosier is clearly .5 taller then the mickey thompson and I think thats whats hurting me. Makes no sense to have .07 better 60ft and run almost the same ET and lower MPH with better weather unless its the damn tires being taller IMO. The shifting I honestly think has gotten faster aswell. I believe Fran from RPM got the pass on video and hopefully can post up at some point. Either way I fell short yet again cause I suck at life!!!

Nice 60'! What about the fact that the Hoosiers are wider and heavier equating to more frictional/parasitic losses?
