Drag/Acceleration The Official 1/4 mile track thread.

Did you have the full log of the run where it cut? Any idea what happened or why? I saw the snippet you shared above showing the boost drop for a few cells
I do and I'll send it to Terry. This has happened in the past at the same mph. We couldn't solve it so he suggested that I paddle shift the last gear just before 114. That works but I havent had the issue in a while really thought meth would put an end to it as I suspected it was an octane thing. 2nd run I paddled at about 112. Ran a 3rd run with the car seeming to slip a bit and squirmed out of the hole. 12.14@116.77.
They had a transformer blow and lost lights at the end of the strip. They let us have 1 more run before it got dark. Car cut throttle twice once at mid track and once just before the finish. 12.30 @ 116.64. It was a good night to run temps mid 50s. May have missed my 11s opportunity.

Wired I never had throttle cuts but when I get off the line sometimes slamming into 3rd but never that late. Strange man.

Nice runs, very close.
 
Get Stung moves to #6 or #7. If anyone finds @Crewdawg130 slip we need the thousandths for the 12.07 tie breaker. Otherwise fastest trap goes first. Still 2 spots open in the top 15.

Thanks!
The only thing I've pulled is the spare. Really dont want to tear the car apart the car to get there. I'll try again soon but new rubber and wheels will probably end my quest for the 11.
I think the 20s and 285s are gonna hurt me.
 
If you can catch a mid 40's day in the fall should do it. Wheels still could help if the rims are light enough to offset the 285s.
 
Time to make history!

Car says 53 degrees at 8:30 am and going up to low 70s.
Back seat and spare out. Down to AWD GT with spare weight.

Kidding about history. 11.7 means 11.9 and traffic jam has intakes at 150 on the way in so no cool first run.
A win would make history i guess. Only 4 kdms so far.
 
Go get em!
 
First run ok for 65 degrees. 60 foot a bit off.

Nice run Tonkabob, and nice 60 ft time! You are having really consistent runs--good for you!!

BTW, who were you racing against--a geriatric on a 10 speed??!!

Made a little history but not what i expected. (At import faceoff)
4 runs 65-70 degrees 11.86-11.92, reaction times .2 to .3. Looking good.
New record in the 11.86 by a hundredth.
In bracket racing i was the only 11 second car. I got this. Line up against a 12.9 civic, no problem. Both of us are staged, ready to take out my first victim and i hear a knock at my back window. My rear passenger window was cracked and he wanted me to put it up! Yeah my fault but dude we are both staged. 3 second reaction time later and im eliminated.
The event had 500 show cars, zero Stingers. 150 racers, 1 Stinger. I saw Oregon plates at the race, 3 hours plus away. Stinger got tons of attention as usual but surprised how un enthusiast the NW Stinger owners are.
