Cobalt vs srt4 quarter mile pass - YouTube
Here is my best pass of the day. 12.06 @ 119mph

I did not make many passes being that I didnt want to keep pushing my luck. I drove 3 hrs with my daughter and fiance, and Im already pushing the limits on my car. My highest trap pass was 12.7 @ 128mph. I know with more practice on my launches I can easly get into the 11's. BTW came in third in the FWD class.

When are you gonna take that thing to the track? I learned ALOT on this trip. I had alot of people giving me advice and learned alot about tire pressure. I ended up having my tires at 19psi on that last run. I checked them as soon as the run was over and they were at 24psi. Also that was the only time I used two step and it makes a huge difference on the launch, also makes it alot easier lol.

Good stuff man! We trapped the same....on your 12.06 run lol. That 128 is moving though. The car definitely makes some power. What were your 60' times?

FrossB

iTrader: (6)

Id say that is a pretty good track. Looks like its kept up pretty well.

Lol I was excited about that 128mph trap. NLS will make a huge difference when you dont have to spool after every shift. My 60's were 2.3's and the 12.06 time was a 2.1 60 ft. Im thinking on the mickey thompsons a 1.9 is possible If I had some more time to work on my launches. I dont get to go to the track much, I maybe make an avg of 5 pass a year if I'm lucky lol. I wish I lived closer to a track.
