Ran a new personal best. 10.73 @ 128

Went out to the track last night and busted this off on my first pass. I still think the way the car sits, it has a 10.599 in it. Its not my best 60' or 330' but everything else is.

Thanks!

Btw, this was at 21 psi. I think i'm safe up to 24-25 psi on this setup, just need to tune it out. I want to give it all it has at the current levels before i turn it up though.

Really nice. Since you are just 2mph faster than me, it means my car can do the 10'sc also. My best so far is 11.6.

Congrats Zinx. I was home for 1 week in May and only managed a pathetic 11.2 @ 132mph because on my second pass I ruptured my right rear break line and took out my axle. I think the cobra cradle rubbed the break line on the launch because I pulled the front left wheel off of the ground. It was sick.

You suck, just admit it.

What about after you fixed the brake line, got beat down by a 200 HP 240 ?

No wonder you never answered me when I asked you what you ran

I won that race Eric, thats why the left light lit up. Everyone was running slow as hell that night cause the track was wet cause it kept raining. Also, that 240SX was 400 HP. I didnt get beat by anything that night or on tuesday. Let me find the video of me running down a 600HP nitrous Nova. Everyone is cheering including Rick Reiner.

How do you run down a 600 h/p nova with a best 11.2 ?
He must not run better than 11.6 or 11.8!
Good luck it sounds like you just need more seat time. And put everything together all in one run! 130 mph is good for a very good 10 sec run!

How does a brake line take out an axle?

It shreaded my inner CV joint boot, damaging my inner CV joint from all of the grease slinging out all over the underside of the car.
