Default NEW BEST For The Pace Car Last Night

The air was not great but it was better then a july night.
The DA was -215, BP 30.09, Hum. 85% , Temp. 54.
I ran 10.70 @124.15mph with a 1.480 sixty foot.
I also weighed the car, The car and I weighed in at 3612lbs. That is with a full tank and my huge speaker box in the trunk.
Thanks to ECS for Great Package.

I will need to see the video Chris took, but I can swear the front tires came off the ground. I felt a double thump after I launched. I had to be about a foot out when I heard it. The car had some good lift in the front and rear went down hard. Before the run I thought I would see a 1.46 or a 1.47 sixty foot. When I saw the 1.480 on the board, I knew that this was not going to be the WOW pass. It was nice to go quick again.

In about 2 weeks I will be out tuning the Mustang. I miss those 1.30 sixty foot's.

That is Funny. The box is dead weight, then there is all the crap in the compartments under the speaker box. I wonder why the car sit's low in the rear.

I know I can loose at least 100+ lbs for the next time.

There he is, I thought maybe you lost your pass word for the computer. Same tires from Memphis. That is what makes it more interesting and fun - will I spin off the line, will I spin the tires in shifts, can I keep it straight....... A little more tweaking and loose some weight (not from the BBQ)!! I am just big boned.
