Hammer Down

My first trip into the 11's today was 11.91@119.13 The 60' timer wasn't working today so I don't know how much I reduced my 60' time by adding drag radials! I reduced my 1/8mile by a 10th. I know that there is another 10th or so to be had. I have to learn how to launch my car all over again.

Great job today Jack! It's nice to finally run in some good weather. It was a great day today with a few records broken here and there !!!

In a few more weeks when things cool down even more I could see ya running much quicker and faster. Hopefully Mike will get his hub fixed and get those damn DR's back on. We'll do it again soon and see how far we both could go.

BTW...The guy at Sacramento are open to the idea of running our cars from 8-12 am on a Saturday. It might take up to 10 cars but he's totally down.

Who said I stayed home? Do you really think I was going to let the first good DA day pass me up . My hand held weather station had DA on the track between 150-275 most of the day. The temps stayed right at 64 degrees almost all afternoon. It was a great day and that's all I'm willing to say right now.

juicee63

oh so this was the 12-4 session?

haha, I knew there was no way in hell you allowed Jack to appear solo at SRP.

I await patiently your result

TTMotorsports

Congrats on your AMAZING times!

I think this definitely answers the question whether your car is an AMG FREAK!


ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IT'S A FREAK!!!!

bassn_07

Yep, they no longer have the night sessions. If they did I would've been running in some serious negative DA and the results would have been stellar.

You keep on waiting for those results....!

IMPORTIMAGE

it sounds like someone may have broken that magic # he was looking for...

we'll just wait.... anticipation.

Too bad on the 60' not working. Great run though.

bassn_07

Yeah, it really sucked not having the information. As most know 60' times really do begin the story of the run. Jack did a excellent job yesterday and we were all so happy for him. It was a long awaited personal goal for him and now he's setting his expectations even higher....going for the all time record. With a hard launch and cooler weather you guy might see a 11.7 run from this car. Time will tell but I personally think it's doable.

Hammer Down

Thx Juicee, I wish you were there cause you have seen me run 117,118 and you missed my 1st 119 and now you have missed my 1st 120mph pass

Thx Bruce did you see my other thread about going 120?

Thx Bro

Sorry I panicked over you using the MT's without LSD Hammer.

It's your kinda thinking that gets guys like you into the 11's and guys like me not even close to records even with all the cash I got into this thing!

As usual, your car continues to be .

Can't believe you got to see 10 sec runs in person you ole SOB.

All those miles I've logged back and forth to Sacto

Hammer Down

Thx Jim, I've had the pleasure of watching all of you guys over the years try different things (some work and some don't) and I realized that our biggest issue is traction and once I figured out how to launch my car on street tires and I knew the speed was there I switched to DR's and now it's like starting all over again because I have to learn how to launch my car all over again. I started at 26psi,25.5psi,25psi and my last run at 22psi

Gotta give props where it's due

techhp

Great job

MB_Forever

+1 too many people focus on dyno numbers. Track Numbers are the real numbers. Your car will be a real monster @ Sacramento

bassn_07

There's only way to tell how well your car will do, either at Sacramento or Famoso. Get your **** in gear and stop taking them damn steroids for a moment and get over here....haha jk. Bring that guy URnext with you and see how your cars compare with mine. It would be interesting none the less. Let's find out how magical this track really is.
