After several Saturdays of rain I final got to the track. Weather was nice and the DA was great for Beech Bend, in the 500-700 range.
I had my rear tires set at 28lbs hot. Ran with traction control off, did a short burnout after backing into the front edge of the water box. Left the line off idle on the first run with a quick roll into the throttle, no spin and a 1.91 60 foot and a 12.18 et at 114.88.
On the second run all was the same except going straight to the floor with the throttle, slight tire spin, but the 60 ft was slightly quicker at 1.89 and the same 12.18 at 114.77
Tried turning off all the nannies on the 3rd run and blew the tires off.
On my 4 pass I went back to what I did on the second pass. I had more tire spin with a 1.97 60ft and a 12.25 et at 114.75. With the temps and the DA going up, I called it a day. But it was a great day, was happy to get the car in the 12.1's
I also enjoyed helping out a young guy with a Gen 5 SS getting his car to pick up .4 Gave him advise on burnout, staging, tire pressure, and not to power brake at the line. He went from 13.30's to 12.90's
