Might as well post this too. Went 12.1 @ 111 with a 1.7 60'. Mod in the sig.

Wife using my phone around the 60'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThwHYqAM9m8

Couple runs later this happened on the return road turning left. Stock Non HD diff spider gears welded itself to the pinion shaft and when I went to turn said NOPE

We can see the wear marks on the cross-pin in the photo you took.

That seems to be from the burnouts, not the actual quarter mile runs.

Going fast is costly! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah. I figured it was due to the burnouts. Shoulda taken off the slicks as I was cutting the almost exact same 60's on my 225/50/16 as I was my 255/50's!!!!

Oh well. $70 later and a friend who had a non HD diff with 3.29's I had it going 2 days later.

Did you redlight?

Thanks for the videos. Love it.

I dunno. Probably. Don't really care about cutting good lights. it doesn't effect the time anyways.

We had the entire track rented for the day and it was just a test and tune all day.

Nice run! Really want to do a 3800 swap someday.

Sounds like a fun day!
Good time and 60'!

I was running the 1.7's on the street tires of 225/50/16's as well as the 255/50/16 BFG drag radials . Hence the broken diff at the end. Track was super sticky.

I don't quite agree that reaction time doesn't affect ET... shooting for a good reaction time AND a fast ET presents a higher cognitive load.

If your mind is not focused on getting a good reaction time, then you may get an ET that cannot be reproduced in a true race situation.

Must be fun to have a dragstrip for just a few people!

Recently in Québec the members of our dear government unaminously passed a new law to punish/ticket distracted driving (i.e. cellphones, texting) more harshly.
Laptop computers were also targeted... which is making me wonder how I should go about tuning my new engine once it's ready.

The clock starts when YOU start moving, not when the light turns green. I've sat at a light for 5 seconds when it was green and still went 12.1 while playing with the stall speed.

For test and tune most if not all racers are there just to dial there cars in not work on reaction times.

I will say that car is moving out.

Nice!
I want to go that fast but not ready to start breaking things yet.
