All right Sam, again me with new best to update... lol!

12.674sec. at 111.68mph

I had three runs running almost identical, very consistent car! I had a run of 111.82 mph, so I don't know which one of the two you want to include in the top ten fastest trap speed.

Thanks!

Steve

P.S. Did you notice the time of the 1000 foot at 10.596 in the three runs?
P.S. 2 ) Here is a youtube inside car video of a 12.69 run at 111.3 but continued until 125mph (200 km/h)... enjoy!

The slips you post always have 1 car. Everybody in Canada afraid to line up next to, and loose to a 4 door?

Missed my 1st good chance Friday. This Sat is a T&T 80 miles away but I am busy. Next and maybe the last good chance is Oct 29th. We will see what just an LMS tune & K&N will run.

One of the reason why my best times are when running alone is because I try to go when they apply glue on the first portion of the track and because of that, the entry fee is higher and usually you see more powerful cars (semi pros and outlaws). Many times they want to run together and honestly, many times I prefer to run by myself because their engines are so loud, that I cannot hear mine! Also, as you can see, I don't care about reaction time when by myself, so I can concentrate on my launching.
But I like to run against other cars too!
Good luck when going at the track!
BTW, I removed the tune and ran stock for the first ride and I got a 13.36 sec. at 104.53 mph! My old best was 13.56 at 102-103mph. So, I believe that my custom exhaust has something to do in the equation... The 13.56 was obtained when temps were in the 40's and the 13.36 in the mid 50's... Similar right side/tail wind in both occasion, but now I have the exhaust and summer performance tires instead of used All season Michelins.
If you run stage 4+ with K&N, I believe you should see low 13'S, depending on conditions.
G/L again!

Updated, Nice times and MPH Steve.
Thanks Sam,
BTW, you put 111.75mph in the fastest list, but I did 111.68 in my best run or 111.82 in my second best.
Also, you put T/I/E and M, but I don't have methanol... yet!
Thanks!
Steve

Temps started out in the mid 50's and it was 45 degrees when I made my last run, It was probably in around 50 degrees when the 12.833 run. No wind at all.

I'm pretty sure I'm done for this year. I have to drive 200 miles one way because Memphis is the only 1/4 mile strip in the state.

Since I work 2nd shift I had to take a vacation day and I only have 1 week of vacation left which I'm taking at Christmas time.

I will probably think things over this winter and decide what to do next, and you?
