Most cars here are all solidly in the 12's (even with a bad driver...the power to weight ratio is just too forgiving to run any slower unless you are really bad). Several others are solidly in the 11's. Very few are capable and built to dip into the 10's. It takes a good 60 ft time and decent skills to wrestle any car into the 10's. And HP.

I was thinking of getting some cheap steel wheels and M/T drag radials for the Mustang and going once more to get under 12, but why? I'm still out of there with this car.
Same for the Cobra - I might do it once just to see, but as the night wore on and everyone contributed more goo to the track, my 0-60' got worse every time as the tires took longer and longer to hook and the rear end got squirrelier. If I could get the Cobra in early I might try it, but on a slick track with the street tires it wouldn't work, and there aren't any cheap steel wheels for M/T drag radials for the Cobra. I might try the road track in Pueblo though.
