***News Flash - LIGHTNINROD GROUNDED***
Dan,
You have GOT to get quicker NOW! How's a 12.85@106 sound to ya?!? The reburn and the 3lb pulley paid off!
60' 1.890 (on F1's@32psi
)
1/8th 8.235@85.70
1/4 12.852@105.85
76 degrees as well.
My first run was a 13.026, then a 12.999 (close huh?), then 13.035(engine was hot), 12.926, then the 12.852. Without a doubt I could have gotten a quicker time, I left at 4:30 and they were just getting ready for the nighttime grudge matches. Temp should be upper 40's easily but I was pretty much whipped from the entire day.
We had a good turn out (7 L's -5 ran). All in all, a very enjoyable day. BTW, beat one of my buddies in his new '02 Z-06 (less than 200 miles).
Previous best was a 13.237@101.18 (should read ~103.5)
8.503@83.99 1/8th on a much cooler day than today
Guess it's time to change the sig to:
"FASTER THAN LIGHTNINROD WITH LESS MODS AND I STILL DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' TIRES"
LOL

Hallelujah!!! Praise de Lawd!
He done did IT--12s!!! Oustandin' CorrectCraft--er--CornerCarver! Who ever said you couldn't get into the 12s? LOL Well, you beat me--on et, but I still got you in MPH(106.91). Your times are all the more impressive because you do have "less mods" and ON F1s-----My hat's off to you man!
Rusty, I knew I shouldn't have disconnected that boost dump solenoid for you--look what you went and did!
I still can't figure out why my L broke into the 12s(temps of 65*) the first 3 passes-hot(idling the whole time between runs)-no ice--then I let it cool down for an hour or more(long wait for the track to be cleaned up-- a couple Buicks 'buicked' all over the track) and when Rusty and I line up(temps at 55*): he hands me my azz and I can't get any better than a 13.057???
C/C, we had 6 Ls(2 Gen 1s) togeather last nite--good times and much bench-racin(waitin' for the track clean-up) between some young lads and one ol' cuss. Make the drive over next Fri pm--you can get off early from that 'cushy' job you've got--they let ya wash your L at lunch!
Call me at work(1-800-926-2136) Monday and tell me me all about your 12s--I can hardly wait--LOL. Oh, I almost forgot--Mr. Moderator, iisn't against the 'rules' to use so much 'bold type' in a sig.?

Hey, I forgot--post your new 12 second time over on nloc.org. They've got a wonderful 'list' of everybody's times. Go to 'Times and Modifications'--(this will be difficult for you)--follow the 'format' carefully and it will update any time you post a 'new best'.
