Talk about consistency..

I was just looking at two runs I had from earlier this year.. I was amazed at how close these runs were.. They were 7 mins apart too.. Runs were done on street tires (Conti DW's)

Sorry its hard to read the slip on the right

E63S
Amazing times (esp 60ft) for our track with a stock car. Faster than mine "consistent" times tuned and pulley'd.
Me and Ang may be going up tomorrow night. I know you cant go wednesday but lets see some more consistency friday.

You just need some drag radials to get those consistent 11s your capable of..

Cool.. See if we can break into the 11s, if the track prep is good enough

When you are lucky enough to have track rentals at tracks with great prep, you can get some pretty consistent runs. I am a big fan of rentals.

The day I ran my 11.775, I also ran:

11.801 @ 118.34 (1.716 60' time);
11.805 @ 118.57 (1.713 60' time);
11.806 @ 118.48 (1.712 60' time);
11.808 @ 118.79 (1.720 60' time);
11.817 @ 118.20 (1.716 60' time);
11.824 @ 118.14 (1.719 60' time); and
11.824 @ 118.17 (1.720 60' time)

I miss the strip.
