Ok guys, I finally got to the track today. Estimated weight of my car with me in it would be about 3250-3275 (half tank of gas). All times are on 275/60R15 M/T drag radials. Timeslips are below:

First pass: tried to feather the clutch on the launch (it got mad at me after that lol). Decent 60 ft but missed 2nd gear (doh!).

2nd pass: set the 2-step on 4000. Shifted at 5800.

3rd pass: set the 2-step on 5000. Spun bad and had to pedal it through 1st gear. Shifted at 5800.

4th pass: set the 2-step on 4400. Spun bad and again pedalled through 1st. Shifted at 5800 (was gonna try 6000 but forgot to change the chip)

We were supposed to trailer the car, but my tow driver backed out last night. I was gonna run my 26x10 slicks, but instead put the drag radials on and drove it to the track. A pretty good day and I believe it will run 11.9's all day with the slicks. Maybe even a little better.

Driving the car to the track was kind of a last minute decision and I totally spaced off grabbing a camera. Robert tried to get some pics and vid with his phone, but a phone is not a camera and it didn't work out. Next time I'll be sure to get some good footage.

What do you think it will run on spray?

I'm thinking 10.60's-10.80's.

Man that's flying in a stick car. Really, that's flying in anything.

Yeah, I'm hoping everything will hold together. If so, it should be a fun ride!

Good times maybe when I get mine together (if I can stop getting laid off) I can come up there and make some runs with you.:thumbsup1:
