New time to beat with just tune!

[First-SHO]

Had a little traction problem running my winter wheels and tires, but ran well. Lat time to the track this year. Heavy mods over the winter. Will keep you posted on new products working on.

Darrell, and a red Flex. The rest were new camaro's and a few mustangs. I will let Darrell post his numbers.

Nice! I hope some fast 2010s show up at brainerd next year.

I talked to Darrell earlier... Pretty impressive!

The flex is John... He has our tune too. How'd he run?

Don't know, he ran after we left.

I think I could have hit a 12.3 lowering the tire pressure and playing with the traction control, but did not have enough time.

Congrats FS....great runs.

 

[smokingozzy]

Wow, Pretty impressive!

Hey it was great seeing the SHOs out at Lapeer today! I have some pictures and will post them up! (still editing!!!)

Flex ran strong but traction was a bit of an issue today. Last weekend I was pulling sub-2.0 60's... today nothing but 2.0s and traction control light! Did get a new best trap speed of 103.30 MPH... also managed to beat one of the SSs late in the day... Oh, and I got my first perfect light! .000 LOL!

Very nice times! Wow! I wish I was there with you guys... I am not sure I will be able to go again this year, but at least I had a good last run last week. 12.4 sec.! Do you think the Torrie - 170 F Thermo & Radiator contributed at all? Maybe then it was the 3M clear bra lol! ; )
Good job!
Now let's hear what Darreli made... mmm...
What were the weather conditions? Cold, not humid tailwind?
Thanks and cheers!

To answer questions, 4+ tune, temp was 50 F, Dew point 27 F, humidity 68, little to no wind, but swirling if any, the right lane was better, but only ran once, It was cool enough that I am not sure it the thermo and radiator made that much of a difference.

The mustangs and camaros were beatable all day and pretty bad. I raced 2 camaros and one modified mustang with a several car length victories.

Excellent!!! EcoBoost FTW!!! :woo-hoo: And yes, I heard quite a bit of chatter about those Tauruses!!!

I did manage to beat one of the Camaro SSs twice. First run he red lighted, I still caught him and we went through the traps together, me with the better ET! Second run he did have a better ET but my RT had me through the traps first!!! LOVING MY LMS STAGE 4+

Sorry I'm a little late chiming in here....I feel like sh*t! I did happen to improve on my time a little bit...but still not an 11. I'll post the slips up, I only made 3 passes and the first one the car shut down due to what I believe was the excess tire spin (scary, let me tell you) the other two were 12.22 and a 12.13 at 117.

Congrats Darrell and Mike, but my big question is why wasn't I contacted?:braincramp:

Sorry....I didnt know I was going till literally the day before and became pretty ill so I wasnt sure I was even gonna go until last minute. I didnt want to tell you I'd be there and then not show up. I was only there for 45 minutes anyway because I had a birthday party with my boys I had to attend.

He got around me right at the end of the track! I love the AWD...these cars get out of the hole realy good!
