Track results from last night

**1SLO85** · 11-25-2006, 03:47 PM

Went to Temple Dragway tonight for some more TNT and another Mustang VS Fbody Shootout. The track SUCKED, I was laying down about 12 feet of rubber on every launch and couldn't get any better than a 1.66 60'.

The car was very consistent though, even on the bad track. I ran a 12.52, 12.56, 12.54 and another 12.52 in qualifying for the Shootout. I put a 12.50 dial in on the car and ran a WS6....I got enough ahead of him and let off with a 12.9@92mph.

Next round I went up against a buddy of mine in a bolt on '99 Cobra (so many Fbodies were eleminated, some of the Mustangs had to run against other Mustangs). He had a 13.5 dial in, so I waited a full second and launched. I caught him pretty quickly, passed him and let off completely. I rolled up to the ET booth and received a YELLOW slip. I looked and was SO MAD for 3 reasons....#1, I wouldn't be going to the next round, #2, I broke out with a 12.4@101 and #3, with that time and letting off....IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A 12.1-12.2...UUGGHH.

Oh well, again I am very happy with the consistency of the car. Still working on getting some beter times by playing with suspension set-up. I had to soften the front end up and lower tire pressure to 11psi.

I lost, well actually...I broke out. But a yellow slip is a "loser" slip.
