Results from today...not the best. I am having trouble with the Gen II JTS Venom shifter. I am going to reinstall the Gen I and retest. I was happy with the carbon fiber driveshaft. Generally my 60' times are averaging from 1.68 to 1.74. Today I had a 1.598, 1.617,1.640,1.633, 1.633. First pass of the day was the best.
Pass 1: 1.598 60', 7.488 @ 90.18 1/8th mile, 11.754 @ 116.14. DA was 1280'
Pass 2: Missed 3rd
12.239 @112.92
Pass 3: Missed 3rd
12.272 @113.38
Pass 4: Missed 3rd

Pass 5: Missed 3rd

I had fun though, because I got to drive a supercharged Camaro SS for the first time. This guy I just met for the first time today from the LA Area, had a new 45th anniv. Camaro, built 6.2 LS3 with a Whipple supercharger, not fully tuned but guessing he dynoed about 640+, he was still tuning the car with his lap top. His problem was Street Tires! His friends all told him to have me drive the car, as he was spinning bad and could not shift that well. He ran a 12.7@118 , then a 12.26 @119 , his best, and a couple other passes, all with 2.30+ 60' times. I had never driven on of these new Camaros. He had a Hurst short shifter, Mcleod twin disc clutch , and stock 3.45 gears, on 305 series street tires. He showed me how to turn off the traction control, I asked at what RPM he was launching, and what rpm he was shifting at. I then got in the car, cleaned off the tires (no long burnout), launched at about 2300 rpm( he was using 2800-3000 rpm) easy off the line then bury the throttle, I power shifted at 6500 rpm (he had been shifting at 6800)....car was smooth and quick...I had a 2.030 60'....and I ran a 11.58 @124.6mph. That guy was happy! I had fun....kinda made my day:rock:
Noid 's best was 12.26 @ 114+ (his best speed ever, with a 1.69 60'). He did not have an 11 second pass....the time slips were in error....one was an 11.08 @ 111. + , and one was in the 10's....weird!
