Finally got to run the Cobra down at the drag strip. I had not been for 2 summers so I was not expecting any stellar times that plus the hot and humid weather from T-storms did not help and the track prep was less then acceptable. I was smoking the hell out of my nitto's and I just could not muster any thing better then a 2.196 for a 60' time and I have cut 1.8's on Nittos before on 275 rears and Im running 315's now. So all and all the conditions for running tonight were not the best, I have room for improvement so it can only get better from here. Some of you guys can analyze track slips better then I can so here goes.


My best run of the night was this...

R/T - .992

60' - 2.215

330 - 5.960

1/8 - 9.004

MPH - N/A

1000' - 11.567

1/4 - 13.736

MPH - 104.33

So there you have it.

104 is good for low 13's high 12's. The mph might be alittle high due to the 2.2 (guessing spinning) 60ft, from what I have seen at the track a crappy spinning 60 gets alittle more mph at the end.

Either way it has a bit more in it for sure. Just the 60 from your best puts you around the low low 13's
 
I'd say your car has a lot more in it.
And, you need to work on the R/T if you want to win races:D

Here are all my runs so far this year:

I'd say your car has a lot more in it.
And, you need to work on the R/T if you want to win races:D

actually I won all but 1 race out of 5 and that was my first run (against another Mustang) and I had a horrible 2.4 60ft and ran a 14.3 at 103MPH but that was my first run in over 2 summers and it just spun for 60+ feet on that run.
 
i know this has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with ur times, but will i be seeing you @ FFW in August? i cant wait to see this car in person!

not bad on the times btw :p

yeah I'll be there for the car show on sunday. I have to work that weekend but Im already seeing a sick day in my future for that sunday :p
 
LOL i do hope you feel better that day, :rlaugh: ... must be the allergies huh? ill be up there with some friends... know of any good hot spots/clubs in that area?

haha thanks Im sure I'll manage

there is not really much in the epping area, to find any good bars or clubs you would have to go to Portsmouth. I could be wrong though since I dont live in the area.

You could always stop off at Tens show club in Mass on your way up :D id post a link but it shows naked boobies

Well, at least your only lost was to another Mustang:p :nice:

I totally understand about track prep ruining 60' times.
