Seems like the 60' doesnt mean too much. I ran a 10.30 with a 1.544 60' and then a 9.84with a 1.639 60'. If it ever stops raining here we will be trying to do better this year.

Very nice run! What did you do to get that sixty foot, how did you launch?

I pressed the accelerator pedal.

Seriously, I launch off idle. Traction is so good I can just "jab it" to the floor. When I've experienced not so good traction (running the less-prepped lane, since I've only raced the Camaro at the same track), I "roll into it" off idle.

Of course, the traction/launch mods are the lightweight TSW rims with Nitto 555R Drag Radials and the TCI/RX 3200 Torque Converter. I figure the 555R's are good to 11.5, and then I'll be looking for Mickey Thompsons are Nitto NT05's.

See my build journal for more info and discussion.

Ken, when are you heading back? I was up there last Sat and there was only about 30-35 cars. I had 8 passes in by noon! How about Friday the 27th at Ted's rental?

I was referring to LVD. Good luck. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and it won't be to crowded.

The weather conditions have a lot to do with it. I ran 113.5 on 9/17/09 (It wasn't even very cold)
with 20" Nitto 555Rs, headers, TA's, stock air box with hole and tube in the bottom, (no decent CAI out at the time) and a tune in my M6. Number 27 on Bolt on list.

This same run is Number 16 on the unofficial quarter mile Bolt on list after dragtimes.com correction it was 12.32 @ 116.24 mph. I certainly think it would have been even faster with true cold air, better rims, gear, etc.
