Nothing shabby about a 11.61, but I know where you are coming from.
124 MPH means you getting some serious ponies out of that engine of yours and if everything goes right a much faster time.
Phil, how did your gearing work out?

That's good trap speed there...124mph is good enough for a very low 11, or even a high 10 if you nail the launch.
Phil should have been crossing the line at around 6400 rpm, without knowing his peak hp rpm, I'd say he's probably fairly close to optimum gearing.

11.6 is flying Phil!
I think the other Cobra there last night ran a best of 14.0

Phil,
nice work.... 
I know what you mean about the complexities. My last run at Willowbank, I had a nice mid 11's time and another forum member, who will remain nameless for the time being gave this advice.
You can go faster than that!!
- Do a really good 2nd gear warm up, smoke em'
- Give it about 4000 off the line and let the clutch out fast then nail it
The result;
- Grit teeth
- Big warm up (happy crowd)
- Pull up to the line
- Sweat
- bring up the revs
- Let out the clutch fast
Lurch.... Bang.... Crunch... Clunk..... 
Lunched the CV joint... It just exploded. Seem's they were a faulty batch and it was replaced... 
Drag racing will find ALL the weak spots in the drive line...
Have fun.
Cameron

I reckon you'll get into the 10's before the year is out.

A tip from a non-Cobra owner 
Forget totally about the RT and go when you are sure you are ready to go. If you are just there to set a PB, forget about what is going on in the other lane and just do your own thing.
A 0.587 RT may mean you are rushing.
Something to think about. |

All at the start
Lucky, no worries so you next time.
I am a victim of watching the lights, I will go when I am ready next time.
I was a bit of a softy and didn't want to hurt anything, I will work up to the hard launch a little at a time.
I have a spare set of new CV,s just in case.
Cameron, I saw your car at the nats. Missed not having you there.
Next year maybe.
Phil
