Made it to the Track
Well I finally was able to get to the track this evening (last min decision, went to Atco). Needless to say I'm very pleased considering I'm still on my original set of RF with 37k miles on them
1st run
2.119 60ft
12.645 1/4
117.82mph
2nd run
1.975 60ft
12.428 1/4
118.30
3rd run
1.993 60ft
12.304 1/4
118.87mph
I'm thinking with decent tires she might pull into the 11's. An opinons from you track experts are welcome...I'm a rookie
She ran great and I had a blast

Your car seems to be making some excellent power based on your trap speed, etc. Get some drag radials and get that 60 ft time down (your 60 fts are killing ya) into the 1.6s or 1.7s (where they belong) and the 11s are yours!!!

Nice times! 1.9's on the run flats is pretty good. VERY healty trap speeds, what mods have you done to your car? Z06?
(I looked at your sig but it says the only power adders are blackwing and catback, if you dont have a Z06 i am guessing you have done more to the car and just havent updated your sig yet)

Hey Barry,
Sounds like you're hooked!
I know what you mean with traction on the stock tires...your 60's are like mine. I had a best run 2 weeks ago of 12.3@116 w/ a 2.06-60' on my F1 SC's. I've yet to have a run where I have been able to break below a 2.0-60', but that will change once all my work is done by the ECS crew next week. 
I bought a CCW drag package, so say goodbye to 2.xx -60's and hello to 1.6x -60's (I hope 
).
You need to come out with robz and me sometime soon before the tracks close. We'll all have some fun!

She ran great and I had a blastThat a good 60' for run craps, put some real tires on it and you will be in the 11's for sure.
