Dipped deeper into 11's (video)

Usually I'm the camera man for my dad (jw02) and video him running the car. He drives it down the track better than I do but got behind the wheel last night and went a personal best of....

60..................1.59
1/8.................7.33
1/8mph........96.46
1/4...............11.44
1/4mph.......123.83

My previous best was an 11.83 and that was my only time in the 11's. I knew it was a good run when I crossed the line but didn't know it was that good. The 60ft was a record for me and for the car. Would love to know what a 1.45 60ft feels like.

Man, that is awesome! Super times! Do you have a hard time getting your head through doorways? I would. LOL!

Do you mind if I ask what rpm you launch at? I think my Z will do 11's with what I have and a little more practice. (See my sig) I'm knocking on the door now. My best time was with a 4200 rpm launch. My next time out, next weekend the 27th at Speedworld in Phx, I'm going to try 4500. At 4200 it's a dead hook if they've glued the track good. If they don't send me home after that run I'll have to try 4700.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Hey Steve that launch was about 5400 rpms and the tire pressure was about 11 psi. The sixty foots are getting better everytime we go to the track. Hopefully low 1.5s are in order. There is always room to improve. Thats what keeps us going back and trying.

FastVetteMan............Enjoyed watching your runs as well. Love your car. I've watched you run all this year. We've talked a couple of times. Congrats on your good times that night. It was good to me too. See you out there.
