Finally ran my skinnies tonite
 

I've had the suckers in my garage since January, finally got the wheel studs in. Put them on over the weekend to test for clearance and everything was good to go. Ran at test and tune this evening. Got 10 runs in battling with my Nitto's all evening but I stuck with it and finally on my last two passes dead hooked like a mother. Ran a 12.953 @ 105.10 with a 1.794 sixty foot and backed it up with a 12.879 @ 105.450 with a 1.775 sixty foot four minutes later. The DA was 1062 feet and corrected the 12.879 was a 12.72 @ 106.64.
Also I had the pleasure of whooping up on two LS1's which I always enjoy a great deal as they made my life miserable last year at the track.

They are 4.5" Weld draglites with Firestone LeMans 165's, picked up over a tenth from last week plus I looked like a real racer, lol.

WHY ARE YOU NOT RUNNING YOUR SLICKS!!!!! Awesome times! You have more left in 60's. Guaranteed you can run a 12.80-85 with slicks :) Glad I have LT's on the way :laughing7

As long as you have airbags, you will only LOOK like a real racer.:D

He took my line damn it. CONGRATS MAN. I am hoping that you have some pictures somewhere.

Congrats on the times man. Didnt you say you couldnt run slicks in your class or on that certain night or something like that?

Yeah only d.o.t. approved tires on street tire night. I can run slicks on Weds. nite slick tire test & tune but I don't like racing a bunch of 9 second trailered in ringers. It's much more fun winning most of my races instead of only being at the 1/8 mile when my opponent is done.

HAHA, I hear that. But you need to go out just to see. Just once...for us???

pretty please?

I'm running the slicks next week, have to install the drive shaft safety loop to be legal.

Legal shmegal....I smell fear. :laughing6

Adam

I called Gateway last night before heading over for slick tire night they said I could not run so I gotta put the loop in so I can play with the big dogs.

Sorry I missed this thread over here Deano, great job. Oh yea, I still hate you and your car. :evil6:
