Did this and 3 other 12.0x's both on the radials and the bias plys. So damn close!! Set a new pb of 1.58 on the bias plies and a 1.61 60 on the radials. I think it's time for some light weight Bogarts as it had much more top end on the light bias plies and turbine wheels vs the heavy radials and welds. Had to pack it up early since the clutch started slipping badly, hope it recovers for the last outing in October. I'll link up the others once I get them uploaded.
 
that camaro was having some trouble. but your car was flawless it looked great launched perfect nice clean pass congrats
 
the burgundy Firebird? yea, my buddy said he was having problems getting it into gear. He was spraying it pretty good.

Thanks, but I had plenty of issues myself. The car was all over the flippin' place et wise, if it wasn't traction it was the clutch. The clutch started slipping early on in the day and it was a hit or miss if it was going to hold. Once it warmed up the track REALLY worked well. Was that you're white s10? I have video of us if so.

Say what? I thought it was down right now? and he picked that much up lately? :hmm: Anyway, I fail to see the pertinence in this, you mean spray the bitch?
 
I thought he had a blue Mustang. Or is that similarly spelled nokooler? or is this his other car? He was rolling pretty damn good on some of the passes for sure, I saw a 128 trap on another pass we ran together that I failed to hook well on resulting in a [email protected]

Cool, yea, I have another of you, when you trapped 128, not 121. Same here, let me get them uploaded. And I feel you on the clutch. Congrats on your pb also! It'll be uploaded by the morning and I'll stick it up here for you even though I don't look so hot with my 1.70 60 resulting in a 12.18 ;-(

Thanks Badair, sorry about the misunderstanding :emb:

:) yes.. I cause confusion, my job is done on this forum :D!!

Can't believe it gave you a 12.02 .. I thought 11's once the sun went down in the afternoon, but I didn't know you had clutch issues :S.

How long have you had the clutch??

Yea, right after making the last pass that made it obvious the clutch was done for the day the sun went behind the clouds and it cooled right down. Figures. The clutch was new at the beginning of this season, it's got a summers worth of street miles at 85 miles a day, and no shortage of 1/4 mile passes. I think I pissed it off right from the get go when I tried launching it on the bias plys like I do on the radials instead of just flat dumping it I was slipping it out of the hole and it never "hit" hard after that, and on many runs it flared up between gears. With past clutches they've come around for another whole season just by street driving and allowing it to cool. I'm really hoping this is the case with this one. Sure would like an 11-anything time slip before it goes into hibernation.
