If any of you that are dragging are able to, I would love to see some you tube footage later.

Good luck

By your MPH Ace you should be running 11's pretty easily i think.
Plenty more in it.

It was a good night however I am still struggling to get a good run.

Best time.

60 1.713
330 5.003
660 7.65
mph 96.85
1000 9.915
ET 11.782
mph 121.59
Kph 195.69

I am getting the hang of it, I do a better burn out and tried launching at 3000rpm.

This run I hit the rev limiter every shift.

Hopefully my times wil get lower as I get more confident with the whole thing.

Still good times there from both of you.

For Ace, on a perfect run the high teens is good for low to mid 11's.

Phil, your mph is good for very low 11's there. You are picking up most of your ET in the last 3/4 of the track.
On a perfect run your car will do a 10, as you said though, it ain't easy!!!

HI Plums
With a manual trans it is a very difficult 11 seconds to get right.

As you say the perfect run will give me the 10.99 I am looking for.

Drag racing is adictive as you have to be so precise, you know what time you have done before you get the result.

I have said this before it will take time and lots of runs, the car can do it I just need to learn how to drive.

Having heaps of fun trying

Phil
