Went make a few runs tonight and it sure was an intresting event.
First off, I get the car ready (load up drag equipment and take out useless shit) and have to take care of some buisness and personal things before heading that way.
On the way to the track I meet up with a C6 vette, so we do a couple quick runs.
1st run we go from 60-120 I turn off OD and he gets about half car jump and stays there.
2nd run we go from 50-120 I leave OD on and pull about 1 1/2 cars on him and still pulling away when we shut down.
Right after we finished the second run we slowed down to cruising speed and meet up with a cop coming from the opposite direction (that was a close one)
well after 3+ hours on the road I get to the track about 10 min. before the gates open, and meet up with a old co-worker that I haven't seen in a while, so we start talking and he is planning to run a "sportster" that he said runs mid 11's and he added a launch control to it recently.
The gates open, find a spot and start changing tires,co-worker pulls up next to me and starts getting his bike ready.
After I change my tires,I start reloading tune, I hear co-worker warming up his bike, next thing I feel the car shake, while setting the launch control, the bike takes off with him on it and glances off the back bumper on my car and falls down.
Me and a couple people jump to help him and there'sblood shooting out his right leg calf area. (same side that hit the car)
get the bike off him, wrap his leg with towels and ice to stop the bleeding until paramedics get there.
Ended up breaking his leg and one of the pegs went into the calf muscle DEEP.
OK now it's time to make some runs, since last time I added the 3.2 pulley and 60 lb. injectors to the car.
Before, with the 3.4 pulley and 39 lb. injectors I was running 11.6's pretty consistant. and trap speeds in the 115-116 range
Tonight best I could do is 12.0's with traps in the 113-114 range.
I know I'm losing some time in my 60',(better tires may help that)
but even losing .1 in the 60' shouldn't lose nearly 1/2 sec.
All in all it wasn't a great night for me, but I still drove home so it wasn't bad either.
Supposed to go run again this weekend (with new tires this time) and if I can't get back in the 11's, I'm going back to the 3.4 and 39 lb. injectors.
BTW before someone asks, I tried both Dynotune and JDM canned tune with similar results.
