92 degrees, 30.05 bp, humidity?, 4,650lbs., 1/4 tank of Amoco(added can of NOS oct. boost), and 2 gals. of 100 oct. unleaded track gas. 29 psi-tires(hot). 4,800 miles.

I ran 10 passes(there were over 300 passes in total). Several ricers, Camaro lsi1s, stangs(gt & Cobras), 0ne 01L with 1200 miles(he did poorly--said his maf or iat sensor was not connected???), bikes, and full race cars & trucks.

My first pass was scary! My L broke sideways at/after launch. Had to get out of it-truck went sideways. The Cobra R running against me said it freaked him out. Needless to say, I got my *** handed to me!

Second pass I went 14.177 @101.46--the Camaro SS(?) went 13.828 @101.62. Sorry guys--I let us down--I should have beat him.My 3rd pass was at 113.828 @ 101.60(Iwas in the left lane). My opponent went 13.687 @ 104.29 and yet, the slip said "left 1st by .0592---computer glitch???

5th pass--whipped up on a Nissan Maxima--big deal.

6th pass--beat the Cobra R(he backed out because of wheel hop). Turned a 13.869 @ 101.59.

7th--had my best r/t-.554 and best 60'-2.122. beat a late model Thunderbird--bad. (btw, removed JL filter outerwear 'sock' and lowered tail gate)

8th--ran a 13.697 @ 102.38(temp down to 84F). Beat a Stang GT at 14.954 @92.23.

Beat another Cobra R. I ran 13.783 @ 102.36 to his 14.856 @ 95.67 for the 9th pass.

10th was my best run--79F(air temp, bp @30.05, 9:45pm) Beat another Stang GT conv. I ran a 1/8 @ 8.831(best that nite), 1/4 at 13.617 @ 102.79(r/t-.591).

Not as good as last Fri. nite--but still a good time!

 

You said "My 3rd pass was at 113.828 @ 101.60"... What did ya do, stop mid-track for a picnic!!! LOL 113.828 seconds... man!!

Later,
Roger

 

What years were the Cobra R's and what ET/MPH did they turn??

Thanks

 

I only know the yr. of the R i ran against in my 9th run. Nice kid(Chis Hunter?); he said it was a 99 Anniversary(or something like that?) He ran a r/t of 1.022, 60' @ 2.550, 1/8 @ 9.712, & the 1/4 @ 14.856 @ 95.67.

I'm sure this wasn't a representative time for his R--he said "this was his first 'strip' race--had many 'street' races."

My 1st run was against a R that ran the 1/4 in 15.897 @100.24 when I lost it at the launch. He said he got out of it too when he saw me sideways.

My 6th run was against another R. He backed off --told me later his rear wheels were hopping. His time was way low.

That was a big Typo on the "113.xxx" time!

Had some problems - Either Trans noise from overfill, or Pulley Noise. I know I could have hit 13.8's with better R/T and 60' if it would have cooled down. I had so much rubber from the other cars tires on mine that it was pathetic. Most of it came off on the way home, except on the outsides.

 

Has nothing to do with overall E.T its all in the 60'.

Nice times though...

 

I ran better(see sig) last fri. I know, there could be other variables, but I think I will try and replicate last fri's situation.

I had 3/8 to a 1/2 a tank of 93 amoco. I added the nos and race gas to prevent detonation(my street chip wouldn't take advantage of the higher oct.). My L weighed 4,675 a week ago(extra gas) and it weighed 4,650 this time.

I had lower psi in the tires the first time-25 vs. 28 cold. I did a dry 2 sec. burnout this time while last fr., i just rolled up to the lights-no burnout the that nite.

I have tried to follow the different suggestions everybody has posted about drag racing the 01s with stock tires but, some of them didn't seem to work for me.

I know the air temp. and the humidity was different. I'm going to keep on trying and keep the L's reputation high here in middle Ga.
