I did lol



a week n-a-half ago

did 2 passes that night-(on ToYo Proxie tires-the old versions $20 used tires)

12.51@118 with a 2.1 60'

and -

12.33@119

2.0 60' foot (Held 1/2 throttle tires squealed , then I punched it when I felt the tires not spin)

8.1 in the 1/8th

almost 94MPH in the 1/8th



running 14PSI



I'm thinking I "MAY" hit 11's If I get the Car Dyno Tunned and up the boost 2 more pounds



I have Vid of the 12.5 pass

that I need to upload to the computer

But you would swear by the way I took off, It was going to be a 14 second pass...hehe



Its all Top End 3RD and 4RTH where the car pulls the hardest

Not me personally ... and I don't think he is registered on this forum, but Derrick Berg ran a 12.2 @ 125 on normal street tires.

I'll try and find the time slip from when I went up against him. I would beat him to the 60ft .... and that was it.

I went to track tonight



ran another 12.3 vs a VIPER GTS!!!!!!!!!!!



neck to neck both had 2.0 60's and both of us had street tires

he has traction control- I have foot control



Viper GTS (Blue with white stripes)

1/4= 12.495@118



Me (87 RX7 Turbo)

1/4=12.386@118!



It has always been a dream of mine to race one of those

man what a rush!



I was told the crowd in the stands went nuts when I beat it lol!



Oh BTW:



I broke a Diff mount and one of the rear shocks

Oh well..hehe
