Well, My goal today was to crack the 12 sec barrier and I got damn close. I started out with a 12.33 @ 123.78 MPH and 17 runs later...all I could muster was a 12.10 @ 126.67 MPH. I hit 12.1's about ten times and noticed my average 60 foot time was 2.2 seconds. (not very good!) The zoomy trap speed of 126.67 MPH indicates that I can run a bit faster time ET if I could only get the tires to hook up a litter sooner! The weather today was 97 degrees and very humid. I did this on burned Michelin Pilot Sports and have no desire to set my car up to drag race. I suppose if I had some gummy Hoosiers with taller sidewalls on smaller diameter wheels...I'd hook better...(I have 993TT wheels 18" x 10" & 18" x 8") but hey...I had fun and didn't break anything. That's all that matters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif)
