Ha ha look at my time. Now this time was when I first bought the car I didn't yet have drag radials and ran it with street tires. Wheel hopped like a mofo and never gained real traction until I hit third.

I would much rather go to island dragway than raceway park...I am tired of the waits and the assholes there. I will be at island from now on.

I have been racing for a long time so I just used past experience and started to slip the clutch out and didn't mash the pedal. I gradually gave it gas and got no hop...
Next run I wanted a better 60 ft so I gave it more gas and it hopped like crazy so I lived and learned. Without DRs I will gradually give it gas and slip the clutch out til it grabs :beer:

Yup that's where I ran my car. No matter what I did that day I just could not get it to hook. Big difference now though with all the mods I did. Verts need special attention as compare to coupes.

One day I will take the cobra to island, always say I am and never take it. Guess I just don't want to run a shit time or **** up the car mechanically or cosmetically, she runs and looks like a dream! One day though haha

I was hesitant about taking the car to the track especially because the car is in such good condition and by the looks hasn't been raced much or at all. I figured I would take it easy at the line to ensure that I wouldn't break a rear part. And if the motor blew while I was on it down the track, then shame on me for buying a car that would break so easily....

Very impressive. Mine did a 12.6@118 on stock GS-D3s. Couldn't hook up at all. Heck the first night i ran it went sideways in 3rd
