That is a good time, you multiply your run times 1.55 and you get 12.041. That is the formula I was shown.

Our last track day I ran 12.11 with a 7.8 1/8. I think you would have run a 12.0x .

I pulled two slips from my runs in comparable weather. I was running with PS2's, with better 60' times, but the 1/8th time and speed are comparable to yours.

On a run where I went throught the 1/8th in 7.751 secs @ 91.56 mph, I finished with an 11.986 @ 117.22. On another run where I ran through at 7.759 sec @ 91.01, I finished with a 12.019 @ 116.60

I think your run was probably a 12.0 run. Nice.

That's a pretty interesting and generally accurate formula.

Thanks Enzom, it was hard launching the car at first but couple of tries here and there playing with the psi then I was able to dial in. Wish we have a 1/4 mile track in San Diego. Last run on the video with the 911 turbo, the chic hustled me to race for money and I spanked her plus she red lighted, lol. They caught it on tape in her car because she's a host for a TV show in our city, she wasn't happy. Jangy should have a better version when we were negociating.

It was definitely a sweet night. As it turned out, we had some cool weather, so I think that helped.
Jay took a run or two to get the Drag radials dialed in and also heated up. I wasn't too happy with his first or second burnouts or his launch reactions. But man, after that, had the thing dialed in. i was very proud. He was hitting the lights perfect and blasting out of the gate! I do have some video footage that i will post later (gotta upload first) and it clearly shows his improvement form well over 9 seconds on his first run. He was basically nocking a tenth of a second off each run. Very well done Jay!! You represented us well.
12 seconds for an E55 with NoNameTech Stage 1 may not be that impressive (as a stock E55 is "supposed" to run those numbers), but Jay's car was in full effect. No way would a stock E55 pull those numbers at this track. It is historically known as a slow track (as are most in our immediate area). I'm pretty confident that Jay would have run some sweet times at a track back east or up north, where the overall numbers are better. He mentioned the 996TT. It was getting 9.2 second runs, so it was not even close!!

Even the Honda guys over on Honda-tech were giving Jay props last night. Jay represented well last night.

S mode, suspension in comfort. I took a lot of advice from the veterans here and it made a big help. Gotta order another set of BFG, they're already worn out

Awesome run Jay. Props, I have heard that is a hard track to run at.

Those drag radials are addicting aren't they, people at the track go wild when they see a Euro do a good burnout.

I am having camera issues (have no clue how to use it), so I can't upload the videos of Jay's burnouts and launches.

I was his agent. I just ain't good at hustling so they backed out of any money as soon as they found out that there was no contest. The girl was just trying to get some good footage and and hopin she would get her best run in.

The Drag Radials are definitely the ****. I'd have to have a set to do these pulls. Jay's last few runs were just great to watch. No spin at all, just like a rocket out of its pad!!

I definitely need help. I'm a straight computer idiot. I'm getting there. I can at least see the vids on my computer using Cyberlink, so I know it is there.

I kind of liked the announcer. He is definitely not up to date on all his MB models, but he'll call anyone out in a heartbeat.

It was a fun night and great to see so many people out enjoying their cars.
