Outstanding run... hope to get my 1st outing of the year this coming Saturday.

I just want to put down a decent 60' on the 3Rs. I'll take that 1.75 all day long.

Remind me. Did you trade your M6 1LE for an A10 version? I remember you talking about that being a possibility.

at my track, stock modern cars (dunno what the year cutoff is) you can go anything but 9's w/o a rollbar/cage. NHRA really needs to update the rules as cars are getting faster and faster but are prob actually safer than cars of the same speed with a cage.

The NHRA updated its safety requirements to allow 2008 and newer vehicles to run as quick as 10.00 and/or as fast as 135 mph without an NHRA-legal roll bar if the vehicle has unmodified factory safety equipment and DOT-legal tires. The NHRA notes that the driver must still wear the appropriate clothing and helmet for the performance of the vehicle. However, these new performance levels do apply to a convertible or T-top equipped car.

Ah! Thanks! My cars are nowhere near fast, but I do Bracket race all summer (got Runner up in points standing this year!) so i never really looked into it.

And how did you do?
What’s causing your headaches?

Great run. Sorry it wasn't the 10.99999999.

I didn't go below 22psi. DA was negative with ambient temp around 46 degrees. Unfortunately, there was a stiff 15mph head/crosswind which was a PITA. Leaves were occasionally blowing across the track tripping the lights. Not bad considering my lack of drag racing interest these days.

Best 60' was 1.75. Stock tune, ported TB, Green panel filter, secondary cat delete. No weight reduction.

The best we could get it too go was 10.543 at 132.70mph.

car was running extremely hot on the supercharger temps so it was pulling 10 degrees of timing. thought it had air in the system so bleed it and still the same thing was beating my head with it. My son works for GM and was finally able too give me a had so he turned on the pump for the supercharger and nothing. We were going to check for power on the pump took my mirror to look for connector and it wasn't even plugged in. We plugged it in and it came on car took a quart and a half of coolant. The temps went down too 120. The car had a new bleeder valve put in by the dealer with 25 miles on it which I guess they never really did because there is no way they could of bleed the system with no pump. The car is currently on e50 and Cai and tuned by Pray.
