Default New Best at Richmond Dragway

Car finally hooked up. Car was in street trim, 17" tires all around. Anyone not already running Spohn Suspension is missing out . Here is the proof:

1st run

60ft: 1.7439
1/8: 7.8681 @ 87.48 MPH
1/4: 12.3454 @ 110.08 (new best)

2nd run

60ft: 1.7218
1/8: 7.8497 @ 87.43 MPH
1/4: 12.3405 @ 109.68 MPH

I wanted some more runs so I went ahead and ran some bracket racing. I dialed in a 12.25. Here are two more runs

1st run
60ft: 1.6893
1/8: 7.7955 @ 87.65 MPH (new best)
1/4: 12.2683 @ 110.02 MPH (new best)

2nd run

60ft: 1.6810 (new best)
1/8: 7.7955 @ 87.43 MPH
1/4: 12.2819 @ 109.65 MPH

Nice guys!
I thought about going today in the Talon until I fried my clutch last night.
I'm finally getting all the bugs worked out of the system, and it sounds like you guys are too. Congrats!

I think there is more in it also. It can definatly 60ft in the 1.5xx with some practice. It only took me 6 passes to run a 1.68 60ft..

wow!!! i just remebered your last post about your new best... then i smacked with this... you called "12.3" and nailed that on the first run!!!! way to to the both of yall...
maybe one day ill be able to run that good...

gay ass front wheel drive + non driving SOB = 12's@125+

so congrats to both you and goat on the incredible times
