thanks everyone. car ran friggin AWESOME today. so damn consistant its not even funny. track was great for my first 4 passes or so and then it started to go away. temps wer eonly in the mid to high 50s. DA was around -100 to 0 all day so great air.
unfortunately I could NOT back the pass up. the 9 was my best 60' of the day by .014 and I just could not duplicate it. here are the pass breakdowns
YESTERDAY - decent air, big cross wind and sometimes slight headwind
run1 - left lane 1.41 6.46 @ 106.06 10.17 @ 131.99
run 2 - left lane 1.37 6.39 @ 106.89 10.08 @ 133.05
run 3 - left lane 1.38 6.41 @ 106.75 10.10 @ 132.59
then I decided to add a degree of timing to the car. so now we are at a total of 24 degree's
cut a 1.39 60' and blew the tires off. so I ended the day here, lef the car there and went back up today knowing the weather was going to be better.
first pass - left lane - still at 24 degree's 1.37 6.37 @ 107.49 10.02 @ 134.00
2nd pass - right lane...heard it was hooking hard and raced a friend of mine
1.363 4.059 6.316 @ 108.52 8.277 9.941 @ 135.21
to his 9.95!!! I was so pumped!!!! then I jumped in the gamblers race for $20.
3rd pass 9.95 dial in - left lane .012 light 1.37 6.36 @ 107.79 10.01 @ 134.27 - WIN
4th pass 9.97 dial in - right lane...4pm and started cooling off .042 light 1.37 6.36 @ 107.88 10.00 @ 134.40 - WIN
5th pass 9.99 dial in - right lane .137 light (asleep but other gy red lit!) 1.38 6.38 @ 107.93 then got a lil loose 10.02 @ 134.39 - WIN
final race...against the same friend from the 9 sec pass! 10.00 dial in - left lane .062 light (he red lit!) 1.42 6.47 @ 106.81
at this point the car was all over the place and I wasnt paying attention till about the 1000' where I saw my win light and got out of it. coasted to a 10.17 @ 126.18
all the passes are on video and Ill compile them but here is the 9.94 pass from another fellow SVT enthusiest camera. He was nice enough to PM me asking if that was me running 9s and sent me HIS video
i was there yesterday and saw you jumping up and down in the staging lanes after this pass haha. congrats on some awesome numbers bud!
haha...was that later? I was jumping in the lanes when I saw I was racing Craig in the finals.
byw...was loving those wheels on your car!
not really sure. steve rice pulled up behing you in the nova and you guys high fived and stuff. you looked so stoked, i just assumed it was because you had just broken 9's.
thanks for the props on the wheels. i actually want to sell them.
