Default NEW BEST! 11.34 @ 124.72mph-VIDEO

Had some good air and decent track prep and set a new personal best.

1.59 60ft
7.27 1/8
96.57 mph
11.34 et
124.72

This was one of the first times I had cut a 1.59 60ft, which is my record. I think I have had a 1.59 60 ft 3 other times. Need to learn how to get those high 1.4 or low 1.5 60fts which alot of people seem to be getting.

That is a definite 10 second mile per hour. Fast elapsed time also. Congratulations! :cheers:

Nice run and video. What tire pressure are you running? Im no expert but I would try and keep the pressure at 12 or lower and do a longer burnout. Also, are you launching around 5000 or greater. Goodluck in your qwest for the 10's and the 1.4x's.

I have run anywhere from 11 to 14lbs depending on the track. I have launched hitting the rev limiter, tryed really smokey burnouts to more mild ones like in this video. Put in a new Spec III clutch recently with the light weight flywheel. Would that keep the car from getting a better 60ft time?

:cool: video. River City Raceway eh? I've seen quite a few vids from there.

It's amazing how shiny the tracks get, you'd think it we're slippery when it is just the opposite.

Cool car. :thumbs:

Being a MN6, I'm not so sure of that. If it was a A4 I'd say definitely.

Thanks vstella. I'll believe it when I see it. :lol: I thought you had to be in the tens or from the east coast to make it into your videos. Come to think about it, most of the 10 second cars ARE from the east coast :confused:
