I raced a fellow club member in a grudge match and I beat him off a holeshot! 13.05 > 13.02 [thumb]

His car is a '00 Mustang GT 4.6L SOHC 5 speed with heads/cams/cai/exhaust/tune

Here's the video:



After fooling with the two step and tire pressure a bit earlier in the day, I finally got it down where it needs to be and the car is hooking great.

I feel confident about Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals at MIR next weekend!

I ran a new PB of 12.93 @ 105mph with a 1.93 60ft on Sunday at Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals. I got eliminated in second round eliminations by a Cobalt SS T/C.

Cobalt: 13.85/13.80
Focus: 13.04/12.90

I hooked good off the line with a 1.91 60ft but then bogged 2nd gear.

The first round of eliminations I ran a 13.10 @ 105mph letting off about 200ft short. I was racing a '99 Cobra who had a horrible reaction time and I ended up with a .093 R/T with a 1.79 60ft!!! The car hooked hard from 4500rpm two step and got outta there! I let off to secure the win to advance to the next round. If I had stayed in it, I think I could have definitely seen a 12.7 pass but unfortunately, I would've broke out also. Now I'm kinda wishing I had just stayed in it to see that pass. lol

you would run 1/10th faster if you CLEANED it!!! a very clean car goes thru the air better and faster than a dirty one... why do you think they are always cleaning on planes?? even hang-gliders can tell you that..

seriously, it is a great running car. good job with it.
