14.748 on 19s *vid*

R/T - 1.198 (I have an excuse I'll get to it later)
60' - 2.253
330' - 6.275
1/8 - 9.516
mph - 77.67
1000' - 12.351
1/4 14.748
mph 94.13

Only performance mod I have is OBX headers, (unless you count the Toyos for traction)

It was about 55 degrees out.
29 psi on the front tires.
zeals set to the least stiff settings.
My times only got worse as the night went on (I dunno why that is.. )

My excuse for the R/T is, it was the first time I've raced with a tree. I'm used to red and go. Once I figured out how to launch on a tree light, I hit .566.

I don't have the 14.7 on video, but I do have the timeslip...


here is a 14.837 on video...

I did the whole gate shift thing, no power braking, just stomped on the gas.

yes I did, I have pretty sticky tires, so traction wasn't a problem.

I've _ALWAYS_ gotten poor results with power braking, much less leaaving it in D5. And there's no way I could have hit 14.2 that night with all the additional weight from the stereo equipment and 19s. What are you smokin'?

Dittos . . . I've always got my best times using the shiftgate method. Or should I say I've always got my slowest results leaving it in drive.

Just ask anyone else that was out there that night. Some started the night leaving it in auto mode, but after getting the slowest times of the group, they all switched to the shiftgate method.

The result was they all produced better times on those runs . . . all night long.

Hey Mantis, do you by chance still have the run between Inferno and myself? Even though this is the only race I lost, and my slowest run it is still fun to watch two TypeS' go at it.
