2nd time out in the green beast...11.5 @ 123

Got to the track at 12, finally ran at 2. The guy in the other lane was a camaro who was doing a burnout. I went straight to the staging lanes but only staged one light to be polite and give the guy time. As soon as he staged his first light I staged my second light.

I had the clutch held in, and the guy took FOREVER to stage the second light. Someone had to come up and tell him to move forward to move. At this point my foot is killing me for holding in the twin disk clutch for this long. As soon as I go to put it in neutral for a second, the guy stages the second light so I'm not ready and the lights start rolling and I bog my launch.

Heres the slip...
60' 1.92
1/8 7.54
MPH 96.3
1/4 11.55
MPH 123.86

Thanks. Yeah my mph will probably even be little higher once I get a proper launch.

That's good mph, should be low 11s. Mph won't go up much if any though. A bogged launched will give you more mph than say a 1.5-1.6 60ft.

So if I can get a 1.6ish 60' what kind of et am I looking at about? 11.0-11.1 at best or chance of running a 10.9?

I'm running 18" Works VS TX wheels, with 255/35/18 tires which certainly isn't the lightest tire/wheel setup. Also I have twin 10" subs in the rear, and the brembo gran turismo big brake kit.
