Got a new best at the track yesterday

[2bscrewed]

Unfortunately, my tuner was the one driving it at the time! Ugh.
My first pass was a 10.80 @ 141 on a 1.95 60' Then spun when trying to get more agressive with the 2 step. Launched off idle on the next pass and ran 11.7 @ 142 with a 2.7 60'! haha Then I let Josh drive it to datalog and try it out. He had issues on the first run, then he didn't use the 2 step on the next pass and was able to get a 1.65 60' and ran a new best for the car at 10.46@ 141. That's when we noticed the balancer was working it's way out and we couldn't get it back in place. So I AAA'd it home to be safe. Figures as soon as we start getting it to 60' decent, we couldn't make any more passes.

Wow, that's a heckuva good MPH Shane! You still driving to the track, huh? Awesome! Ain't nothing like driving a 9 second car to the track.....now, you just got to get the 9!!

Thanks. Getting a good 60' takes a different technique at every event it seems. I drove the car there just the way I drive it to work. 23#'s pump/meth and my 17" street tires of course. As long as I'm not more than 100 miles from home, I drive it, cause AAA can get me home if I break! haha The race weight is right around 3650#'s also.

Here's one more pass I was able to find. This was when I sidestepped the clutch at 4100 rpms. Bogged pretty bad to a 1.95 60'.

It's got a 2 step, but seemed to launch better without it. The smoke is from the turbos. I was on a borrowed set of Precisions that were brand new, but like to smoke on decel. My Turbinetics never did that until the seals took a shit.
