Excellent pass! I was going to try for an 11 sec pass tomorrow (Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge at Texas Motorplex) but the temps are supposed to be in the mid to high 90s; and it's supposed to rain.

Waiting on some better temps to make a glory lap.

We are blessed with good air most of the track season up here.

No sense going with that heat.

I may break down and buy a pair of 285-40-18 M/T SS radials this winter. Would really like to find a pair of lightweight skinny front wheels. Not sure if Weld or Race Star makes them or not.

Congrats! Car is moving out! I had you by .01 on the list. I'll have to get it out next weekend (only 1/8 this weekend) and see if I can't get you by .01 again lol.

We would have gotten a 1.2 60 ft if it wasn't for breaking the stock axle.
Good luck and be safe.

Thanks. Spraying out of the hole or boost only? I thought my 1.37 60' last week at my local 1/8 was pretty good. I broke my spider gears in my diff 2 weeks ago and had to find an entire diff to put back in. Already had the DSS axles in it.

I think you're the best 60' of any C7. I got really close today, but broke the differential again, so didn't get a chance to try and launch harder. That's on a Circle D modified A8 converter and Lingenfelter LNC-2014 launching at 1900 (box was set to 2300, but log shows 1900).

Good luck! Hopefully you can keep a differential in yours with those 60's. I'm on my way to pick up my third right now.
