first run at the track
Well, I finally went to the track for the first time. I think I need a little practice getting out of the gate. :lol: Oh well, my best pass was 12.1 @ 121 mph. I guess I can handle that for a fist time. My reaction time sucked at 1.4 and my 60 ft was 1.9, not good. :nonod: Always next time, now I'm hooked. I have no doubt she'll get in the 11's or better with practice!

I was running 17" Nittos. They were on loan from a friend for the day. Waiting for the 18's to come out this summer. Yeah, I was hoping for 11's also, but with practice I think I'll get there. :D

Re: first run at the track (Red C5)
over 600rw will typically require more boost the guy is running 7lbs and his numbers(dyno) are pretty impressive for 7lbs, 10lbs would put him at 600 or better. I would think with the proper drag setup and some practice he could get the car into the 10's, Steve Keen with a similar setup and an A4 tranny consistently pulled 10.6's with just over 500rwhp and 490tq.

Re: first run at the track (ZO6Bill)
I am going to the track for the first time tonight. I am kind of suprised that you didn't get into the 11's with a 1.9 60'?
I am expecting to be very close to the 11's tonight. :cheers:

11's are not trivial but it sounds like you're well on your way. 121MPH!!!! You'll be pretty deep into the 11s with that MPH I would think.
Congrats on your setup and better luck next time!
