Went and played with the NVMC today - New Personal Best

[Black396]

Went to Mason-Dixon today to play, have fun, meet some old friends, etc. I was having a terrible time hooking up. I got in one good run but I let off at the end. (Afraid I was going to get kicked off the track) Unfortuantely I could never repeat the performance to find out what I would have done if I hadn't lifted.

R/T: .676
60': 1.772
1/8: 7.933
1/4: 12.203
MPH: 116.33

What do you think? Does she have 11s in her?

Very [B-)]

How did the Mustangs run?

[Black396]

About the same as usual. Have you been up there before? There was one real strong 2000 GT, blower, laughing gas that was doing a real good job of keeping up with me. I ran against him once and he did a better of job of hooking than I did but I walked him when I hit 2nd.

Ceece's car was down with transmission problems. I think Eby was running in the 10s

[C5inWV]

Yeah, I think the 11's are there for you with more practice.
I couldn't get my 60' below 2.0
My best 1/4 mile was 13.46; my best trap speed was 106.7.

I was encouraged to explore the upper rpm's by the other Vette drivers. I found out that my fuel does cut out at the redline of 6,000 rpm.
I think I could improve by .2-.3, and 5-6 mph.

I am thinking about making a trip down to MIR some Friday evening. You don't get as many runs but the strip is better prepped so the 60's are better.

You're definitely right about the practice[:((] I also found out the stock tach isn't worth trash. The rev limiter on the computer is set for 6000 and the tach was fluctuating from 5400 - 5800 when I was getting into the limiter. Maybe a shift light might be a good idea. [;)]
