Sid,
It was not my best work. I ran high 12's with those lousy 60 foot times. If I could have done a bit better with the launch, I imagine low 12's, high 11's are not out of the realm. For example, I ran a 12.9 with a 2.4 60 foot time, fishtailing out of the gate. I also spun them at the top of second gear when the tires broke loose again. I was experimenting with different launch RPM's and blew a couple of runs and went into the 13's, coasting throught the traps and cussing enough to make Andrew "dice" Clay blush.

I think the car is easily mid to low 12's with a decent driver. The clutch was just adjusted a week before and I still don't have the feel totally correct.

You need to come along next time and repair the damage I have done!
