You should redirect that thread under the At the drag section and then post the times in the Top ten quickest list that ShoSapzz92 is updating... That'd be nice to include all of the times... Temperatures will be high though, so maybe no records will be beaten but still you guys will have a good time... I wish there were other Ecoboost vehicles in my area going to the drags! One day I will drive South and join you guys... New England is a few hours from Montreal isn't it? Maybe late October I could go, when temperatures will be a bit too cold up here, I could head South...
Enjoy your weekend guys and good luck!

WORLDS FIRST 12 SECOND FLEX!!!!! :thankyou:12.904 @ 106.95 mph 1.948 60' - T/C ON :woo-hoo::woo-hoo:
13.014 @ 106.57 mph 2.004 60' - T/C off
Friday Nite -9-23-11 Cedar Falls Raceway - 50-60 deg temps - 830 Alt. Track was slick... Many of my runs I had blow off valve go due to traction control freaking out. Tire pressure changes and T/C all really didn't help.
My worst top speed was 105.65 mph even though it was one of about 8 runs that had the blow off valve bog me down for at least .2 sec because the fronts spin much faster than the rears. Believe me... I tried everything to get her to stick.
NEED STICKIER TIRES FOR COOLER TEMPS.
Will post pix of time slips tomorrow.

Congrats EBB! That's pretty darn impressive. If someone would have told you back in the 70's that some day you would run a 12 sec. pass in a full size wagon...you would have thought they were crazy....and you would have known they were if they would have told you it would be powered by aV-6! Nice job Bob...well done!

Don't forget.... the driver will be 66 on Nov. 2.
Honestly think that If I can get the Brick to hook up, and not hop, and get a mid 1.8 60',
it can run a 12.6. Need Stickier fronts really bad!

Well done, it is a great feeling to finally get under 13's! But it is also very funny that the second we get there, we aim at mid-12's right away lol! Never enough right? We're hooked!
Good job Bob!

Congrats EBB. I'm inspired now once I launch my car properly and get wheel spin under control I will finally log a 12.

Bob, you mean a young 66...and that just means more experience...don't forget "The Greek" Chris Karaminsines (sic) is in his mid-eighties and still piloting a Top Fuel dragster.

At that age he figured it was easier to drive a car than to walk! lol... I googled the guy and he looks in great shape regardless his age. It is when you stop doing what you love that you actually get old, so don't give up Bob! lolBob, you mean a young 66...and that just means more experience...don't forget "The Greek" Chris Karaminsines (sic) is in his mid-eighties and still piloting a Top Fuel dragster.

I am doing fine.... Have waited 11 mo for my "Welcome to Medicare" Doctor visit.. I am a "cheap date" for the Govt... as I have paid in much more than I have gotten back! And... my wife looks about 45... which means I was truly a "cradle robber" as we have been married almost 44 years! Now THAT makes me feel old......

Why? I am only interested in the Ecoboost times, hence why I asked in this sub-forum. And I am too lazy to dig through threads not in this particular sub-forum. But by all means the guys with these times should post in the other thread if they like. And not post here, it's up to them.
Thanks to all who have posted here though!

Which tune, 4+? Traction on or off? What RPM? My car is getting lowered today and I am hoping to get to into the 12 second club Oct 21st.
