Smile I finally did it! Took my red deep into the 11's.

So I have been trying for a few months now to get my Evo into the 11's. It has been raining so much lately, I really lost out on a lot of practice this year. I know there are tons of Evo's in the 11's but this is special, it's my first time in the 11 second club. I ran the best 3 times of my life in a roll. 11.9, then a 11.78, and finally my last run I did a 11.53 at 122mph. The car really liked that colder air as it got later into the night. My previous best was a 12.01. Next goal is to get a 11.49, get kicked out, so I'll have to build a cage.

Hope to see some more Evos out here at Pacific Raceways. Seems like lots of guys with good power but nobody is racing.

FP Red, Kelford 272, 94 octane pump gas, methanol fed. 30 psi boost, BF Goodrich Drag Radials.

Yeah it was! I'm happy about it. I definitely learned from that run how a decent lauch and fast shifting can get you some good times. And you should definitely go faster!

Congrats man. feels good to finally hit a big goal huh. your a 60' away from a 11.1 -11.2 man. next time out hit the 1/8 a few time to gage your 60'. If you start hitting good 60's and 7.0-7.2 in the 1/8" give it hell man. Id hate to see you get the boot for a 11.49 lol. make it count man.
