    new 1/4 mile times!

    finally got some new tires...

    previously i had been running 205 50 15 BFG drag radials. they were okay, but they were a bit small.

    i just picked up some used 225 50 15 hoosier drag radials (DOT approved!) and tried them out at the track today. matt mounted them on some 15x7 ET35 wheels that i had lying around (thanks matt)... the tires just BARELY clear the strut perches.

    anyway...
    previous best
    12.611 @ 111.27 (last year)
    12.62x @ ~111 (this year)

    new best
    12.465 @ 113.48 (!!!)

    i also made a handful of 12.5x passes, and a couple 12.9's. out of 10 runs only three weren't in the 12's! consistancy is nice . my tune is essentially the same as last year. i was speaking with my friend's tuner and he suggested that i add 2-4 degrees of timing up top, and pull some fuel (my map is still very conservative). i may give this a shot if i can get back to the track before the end of the season. low 12's on DOT's anyone? =o

    timeslips coming when i can get over to my parents house to use their scanner...

    no videos unfortunately, everyone forgot their video cameras . i do have a few photos of the car though, and matt got one shot of me racing my friend mark's corolla (he went 11.895 on DOT radials that pass!)

    condensed version:
    i went 12.465 today, woot!

      thanks, haha sorry to interrupt

      a couple pics!

      a lot of the staff guys at this track were douche's and thought my car was a waste of time. they didnt even check anything at tech, and looked at me like i was retarded when i gave them my helmet to check.... hence the writing i put on the back window xD.

              damn that pic is pretty good for a phone though, lol

              which marker is that, 60'?

              working on getting the sig pic changed... i dont have the original photoshop file, so i'd have to do it all over again. my friend made it originally so if she has the photoshop file she could just change the numbers and it'd done.
