New personal best E.T. ...more to come!

[ultraflo]

Well, things are starting to get interesting... I went to the Sat. Fun Day at Cordova to try out the new M/T ET Drags and see how they compare to the old Goodyears I had been running since the start of the season... WOW!!! I can't believe the difference in HOOK! with the M/T's over the Goodyear's

I only made two passes... the first pass I ripped a new best of 10.037 @ 132.28 w/ a 1.410 60ft. and a 6.384 @ 107.67 1/8 mi. ET

THEN

...I figured I'd bring it out a little harder on the next pass and, whoa!, next thing I know all I can see is my cowling and hood rather than the end of the track!!! I almost stood 'er on the bumper... lifted and stabbed the throttle again, grabbed second and it came back up again, came down and unloaded the tires, shifted third and then the car got outta shape... so I coasted to an 11.765 @ 90.67

I dented one of the header tubes, scraped the bottom of the bellhousing, and scraped the bottom of the front-end... got lucky!

Anyhow, I'm going to try it again tomorrow... after making some adjustments to the strut/shock settings to keep the front end down some

Never thought my 10 sec ride would be a bumper dragger...
What a rush!!! LOL
