Today at Great Lakes
1st run - Was my first experience on slicks ever. I wasn't used to doing a burnout, and my nerves were pretty fried after waiting in line for 2 hours. Launch wasn't horrible, but I jumped the gun a bit. Then instead of the 2-3 shift, I made a 2-5 shift. Oops.
R/T -.186
60' 1.908
330' 5.382
1/8 8.696
1/8 MPH 70.58
1000' 11.506
1/4 13.765
1/4 MPH 100.71
2nd run - Had my nerves calmed down a bit. Figured out how to effectively stage and such. The car felt as good as it ever has, and the only place I feel like I could have done better was in my 2-3 shift. The thought of pulling another 2-5 shift made me slow down a bit. Might have been able to make up another .1 if I was quicker with it, but I'd say I have nothing to complain about.
R/T .211

RE: Today at Great Lakes
Thanks for the good words! You would be amazed at the amount of work it takes to make a 16 second car into a 12 second car. But days like yesterday make it worth it. I'm still trying to findtheSXT neonwing to replace the SRT4 wing I have on the back of it but they are really rare in my color. Then it's even more ofa sleeper.
