Missed my 10 second pass

went to our local track in boise idaho. Being a hot day 100.4 degree, 14% humidity and a elevation of 6200ish feet

ran quick 8 class with Pro tree
best pass went

r/t- .144
60' 1.66
330 4.77
1/8 7.2 @98
1000 9.4
1/4 11.1@128

sucks cause my pass before i did a 7.2@83 missing gear so i know that would of been my 10 second pass, but i got the boot so no 2nd chance

car is full weight and on Nitto NT555 300 treadwear tires, i was very impressed how they hooked up

im really happy with the times as elevation and temp were hot as hell

lol.. Evo guys have raised the bar. Low 11s is very slow these days. I wouldnt bother posting a time on the FP black until you have run mid 10's on 87 octane full weight.

Congrats on the times

Awesome times for the elevation! 10's have eluded me pretty consistently, I've run 11.1 too many times but looks like you'll be able to pull it off.

ill have to see if someone go pics or video, im pretty sure i pulled the front tires at least 1 foot in the air lol

wierd thing is my best run for sure felt like my worst, lauch was my worst 60' of the night at 1.66, and i lift shifted 4th. i think with another pass and a touch cooler weather 10's would of been had

Nice going, you're right there Tim. One more pass and you would have had a 10 second run. How did those injectors work out for you?
