E55JAY,
Awesome runs. That trap speed is not really possible. You are running 98mph in the 1/8th... that would point more to like 128mph-130mph in the 1/4. Whatever your problem is, at the 1/8th mile you definitely are doing fine. Either the track's equipment is off (which would make everyone's trap off) or your car is hitting a brick wall between the 1/8th and the 1/4 mile point.
Good luck man.

But what an ET! And that 60' time is unreal. Doesn't that car weigh like 4,600 lbs?

Did you already buy an axle? I might be able to get one cheaper but shipping might be pricey.

Jason...great runs and the trap speed is a little perplexing. What did your car show on the speedometer through the traps? Did the car feel as if it were laying down at the big end? There is another car on dragtimes.com that shows a similar trend with a fast 1/8 trap and e.t. and a slower than expected 1/4 trap speed. Lou Fishgold in his SL65 with a 10.853 is similar. That C55 was smoking and it shows just how good the air was on Monday. I think the DA was negative 200ft.

Man I really hate I missed this one. Congrats to all that made it and ran well. It does sound like you guys had some great air and track prep must have been well looking at J's 60'.
Albert/Pat, this was the one you should have driven up for.

Could someone report the e.t./mph of the other cars present? I would love to know what the Porsches, Z06s, supras, and Bmw's were running. Thanks

the Blue Z06 was running 11.0x's - 11.2's all day (stock power) on either stock RFT or slicks, he changed and that netted him a few tenths. He was trapping 128's.
The yellow Z06 was in the low 12's and had 1 run in the 11's......not as good of a driver obviously! TRapping low 120's
The GT2 was in the high 10's......128-129
Silver 996 turbo was in the mid-high 11's...high 11x's
Black 996 was in the low 12's.....he's not a 1/4 mile driver even though he got his front wheels off the ground! high 11x's
Red turbo BMW was in the mid to low 10's. mid to high 140's!!!
Black e30 BMW was in the high 10's....high 130's to 140
Silver turbo BMW broke into the 9's for the 1st time ever! Mid 140's
There were many more....I just cant seem to recall.
