Had a Blast! First of all a huge THANKS to Rick (Phxpoolguy) and Liz, best hosts ever! That Liz is a super pitcrew all by herself, turning wrenches , changing tires.....wow! Truck got about 15 mpg on the trip at between 75 and 80mph all the way (480 miles one way). Tried the new M&H Cheater slicks, Thanks John at M&H! New 60' record for me @ 1.6077. I had 4 races but none were close, but one was a Lightning....so a nice kill. Here are my runs in order:
Run 1: DA 1657, 60' 1.6077, 1/8th 7.5054 @ 93.44, 1/4 mile 11.7947 @ 116.28 mph (Had a .0002 RT on this pass....LUCK)
Run 2: DA 1796, 60' 1.6516, 1/8th (no time), 1/4 mile 11.7366 @ 115.74 mph.( NEW PERSONNAL BEST):rock::rock:
Run 3: DA 2201, 60' 1.6420, 1/8th 7.5517 @ 90.25, 1/4 mile 11.8458 @ 115.15 mph. This run was against the Lightning @ 13.6737 @ 104.43 mph and he redlighted. But in all fairness he was on street tires and full weight, says he has run 12.3 before. Still a good kill, Brad got it on video.
Run 4: DA 2521, 60' 1.6209, 1/8th 7.5347 @ 93.48, 1/4 mile 11.8327 @ 114.74 mph......This is my best CORRECTED pass ever.....corrected time = 11.48 @ 118.342
As you can see the air went away as the day progressed, my speeds slowed each time. There was a headwind all day , but it got much stronger in the afternoon. My runs were at 11:43am, 12:43pm, 1:56pm and 3:39pm respectively. Brad will be posting some great Video, I saw a sample at the track, 2 cameras working. Special thanks to SRTBrad and Justin (rare03SRT10), those guys were super.
Had a blast working on Rick's truck, going to Outback for dinner....good stories and great company, can't wait till Dom rents Famoso so we can do this again.
