R/T .560
60' 1.799
330 5.717
1/8 8.732
MPH 82.12
1000 11.342
1/4 13.517
MPH 102.62

I am such a rookie:boxing: When I pulled back to leave it in M3 I let off the gas:dodge:

That 60' time is incredible. Are you running DR's?

Nice time trial. So what are the requirements for racing at Woodburn? I have a feeling they aren't as strict as PIR (Oregon).

Man had you not let off that would have been good for a 13.00 with your mods!

LOL at the Sport Compact comment!

I was on the stock 19" Summer Only's. I am still amazed at that number myself. The problem is I don't know what I did to get it :)

Woodburn does not require a driveshaft hoop. They say a time below 13.99 requires a helmet but I saw a few chicken nuggets run under that and they were wearing skater hats....go figure!

[QUOTE=Blackrider;67325]Man had you not let off that would have been good for a 13.00 with your mods!
That is what I was thinking but closer to a 13.1-2. That of course is with someone who can get off the line instead of picking their nose:)

The 60ft tells it all, man you screwed up. That was an awsome 60ft, go out there and do it again. I agree, that was gonna be a 13.00 at probably 106 or 107. That car leaves pretty hard, maybe you were late, but, still lots of potential. Still a good job.

Did you launch off idle or stall it up?

I tried idle the first run and no burn out and it didn't work out so well. This run was a short burn then 1200-1500 stall.

That track must be prepped pretty good for you to hook that well on the stock rubbers and with your mods!

Cobra

I think they had just prepped it a couple of runs prior to me going out. I have no doubt there was a lot of luck on my side.

Give yourself some credit now. It doesn't take skill to mash down on a pedal. Without your hiccup you'll definitely have some nice times!

Thanks! I'll be back at the track and work on it to see what this car can do. From there I'll determine my next mods.
