I'll probably need to look at uploading the original .xls file or convert it to .pdf and post so the links are active. Plus, I'm running out of screen room for a clip. Also need to add an internal mods category as there are two cammed cars on the list now.

Took the car a few weeks agos was only able to make one pass 10.90 (opening day people breaking all over the place got fed up and left). Went today for an all day test and tune got to make 8 passes. Best was a 10.77 @ 126 was hope to see a 10.5. Head wind was very strong was blowing my hood shut if pointed into the wind, I think the DA was around 550, I was at VMP just south of Richmond VA. Car is all stock 2016 A8, stock tires, car came stage 1 aero I have added and was using all the stage 3 aero minus the front winglets. Couple of notes the car pulls great but seems to bog a little out the hole (maybe I should try feathering the throttle in) and feels very lazy on the 4th to 5th shift.

Your 60ft time suggests you can definitely run 10.5 or better...in fact, that's one of the best STOCK 60 ft times we've seen...guys have run 10.41 with the same 60'. Nice job, very impressive.

Thank you sir. It is hard to be disappointed with a car ripping off consistent 10's but I will admit I am. I should have stayed after the sun went down, tempatures, and probably wind died down but people were rolling in heavy and I have little patience waiting especially on a Friday night (getting thirsty)
Went again on Sunday to different local track (richmond drag way). Much better weather not so much for the track. Still made a little better pass with much better MPH. Car still seems to bog down after initial launch.
these are my current best times this is a 16 3z a8
all stock first time racing it friday night
change-rear drag radials sunday during the day
Nice Job Mighty mouse.. I'm waiting for our local track to open next week up here in the Seattle area. I hope I can get her into the 10's.
For now I live through you guys here on the fast list! Killer run 10.7 is SWEET!
Guys, what size and height rear drag radials are you running? Does going with a 27.6" rear DR help eliminate the 4-5 shift at the track? Will they for without rubbing? Thanks.
Guys, sorry for not getting back on this update. I have been offline for some time with work. I will start sorting through all the posts and get it updated in the next week so we have a clean clear breakdown of everyones results. I will only include times with time slip and or video proof.
Took mine to the track last night ... got kicked out after one pass....went 10.482@133.37 in Phoenix. A little rusty, haven't been out in a while, lifted before the second trap box...so the mph is a little lower than reality. Unfortunately I didn't get a second run. They booted me after 1 pass because they saw I had headers on the car and tech'd me to 11.5. UNREAL.

I had a similar experience today.. I took my car to the track today for the first time. Running stock mpss tires. I was getting used to the car, and making lots of adjustments on my launch.. First few times just spinning out of the whole terrible.. Then I finally got her to hook, but was bracket racing, I was on the brakes hard at the trap trying not to break out. I ran an 11.07 with a 107 mph. They sent me to tech, and ran me through a major tech. I was totally stock, and was cleared to run again. I made one more pass spinning hard. Running an 11.2. Busy day at the track. Wasn't able to make any more passes. Although if I wasn't bracket racing on the brakes.. I would of been deep into the 10's. I was told if I had any mods, including DR's. I would be in the same boat as you. 11.5. NHRA states any stock car 2009 up un manipulated may run 10.0@135 mph with out a cage, loop, and harness. Was looking forward to running some DR's. Not an option now with out a cage. They even told me if I had an aftermarket CAI I couldn't run under 11.5. Wow.

The rule is actually for model year 2008 and newer. Each track interprets this rule differently. Some are very strict while others are more liberal.
