Post your best 1/4 MILE ETs here!

Are V6s allowed to play?

When they run that damn close to 11s they are!! Nicely done.

Sweet runs Tony (Rb6). It was fun watching you run that day, car is damn consistent. Didn't it get like 5 12.1 passes in a row on street tires? Time to hit the brackets. LOL.

No shit!

Breaking out sucks. Unless you get a new personal best out of it, then it only sucks half-way.

Car in the left lane was a black '05 GT with a KB w/DRs that he said was pushing 10lbs.

Is that 12.94 Stanley? Hard to read for some reason.

 

[ZmanM3]

Great ET Stanley

Yeah, 12.944 on a 12.97 dial in. The yellow (loser) slips are hard to scan. I was running 13.0xx all night but the car and weather cooled off so come racetime, I knew I was going to dial a 12.9xx. I asked my son to pick a number and he said "13". I asked again, this time for a single digit number, and he said "7" (hence the 12.97). I should have used 12.93. Oh well.

Now that I've done it twice, I can OFFICIALLY say I'm in the 12"s" and not just "the" 12 or "a" 12.

Well, you are just going to have to man up and get over it - it may be tough, but swallow that pride and scan them anyway you wuss...

That is the actual scan posted above. The print is very light and the yellow slip makes it even harder to read in person. I had to jack with the contrast and convert to B&W. Here are the numbers:

Dial-in: 12.70 12.97
.013 .096
2.019 1.844
5.443 5.317
8.319 8.242
87.652 84.216
10.740 10.777
12.778 12.944
111.647 105.047
O/U .078 -.026

Bummer for you... it was over right on the starting line.

But, a personal best is great news anytime!

Just kidding - nice ET.

Possibly even before. He and I were the first two in our line and I asked him which lane he was going to choose. I also let him know that I was going to run all the way down the track and not Richard around at the end. He answered "right lane" and I attempted to dial-in accordingly. When we pulled out, the cake-sucker went to the left lane. This is the same guy that told Ted that with the KBs, a smaller pulley is "a simple swap and no tune is necessary". Maybe I'll pick up a small spray kit and just whup his 10lb ass heads-up.

 

[ZmanM3]

He sounds like a real prince. I see he has some stellar times there running 10# he really showed you.

Sorry guys, I was having a flashback. Next time I'll just show him my 1,320 foot stare.

 

[don_w]

This is the same guy that told Ted that with the KBs, a smaller pulley is "a simple swap and no tune is necessary".

That's somewhat true. I ran anywhere from 8psi to 12psi on the same tune; and a pulley swap only takes a couple minutes.

 

[Charlie Sheen]

That's somewhat true. I ran anywhere from 8psi to 12psi on the same tune; and a pulley swap only takes a couple minutes.

Hmm, then I stand corrected. I thought that just going to a smaller pulley without a specific tune was a no-no. But the guy is still a reconstituted ejaculate stain. Good thing I'm not bitter.

Notice I said "somewhat". Mine was tuned at 12psi, so I could go lower without any problems.

I caught that part. He stated that to Ted after he was dyno tuned, but then decided to just put on a smaller pulley and up his boost.

That's living on the edge right there.

Well, he used to run 12.5s. If he's up from 12.7s to 12.9s next week we'll know why. At least Ted gets a little faster each time he goes out.
