Well just getting back from the track and a little disappointed as things didn't go as planned. I was suppose to have gotten a set of Hoosiers from a friend of mine who runs out of the same camp but last minute changes messed that up...as a result I had to run on my 18" street tires
Also, unfortunately there was no VHT laid at this event...so this too did not help the situation.
My best pass for the day was an 11.31 @ 127.12 w/1.74 60ft...I tried different strategies at the line but my best 60ft was 1.71
Since I was on the 235/40's I had to be stretching the gears and crossing the line @ 8350rpm in 4th
Anyway, just wanted to share that...I'll have a couple videos up by tomorrow
Hopefully at the next meet if all goes well I'll have the taller tires, a properly prepped track, and my induction into the 10 sec club

What wheels were mounted with the Hoosiers you were planning to run?

I'm not 100% sure of the brand wheels, but I know they were lightweight 16x8.5's that actually cleared the brembo's

Well it's the fastest my car has gone to date so I feel pretty good about that...not sure how much more I can stretch 4th out to (knock on wood it's been doing very good so far), but I was told that 127mph is good for high 10's...true?
