Well started with an 11.90 motor. With the bottle 1.61 60ft 11.63 hitting the 5psi safety switch back and forth. Still all and all loving it. ;D

I wish I would have came out again today, but I had to clean up the yard. If I make it out again this year I may get lucky and hit the 11's. Seeing two nitrous backfires in one day and a broken rearend makes me nervous. I need to get a trailer.

No good times for me today. First time out with limited slip and two-step, still had a lot of problems with two-step. Managed to get a 12.9 @121mph - you think I spun a little - like maybe two gears before the car even seemed like it was moving. Slicks and warm weather will be nice next year.

baseop, 121mph is freakin' awesome! Can't wait to see what that thing does with traction.

Baseop1320- One word SLICKS  oh yeah ,and thanks for layin down antifreeze ;D It could've been worse. Your girlfriend looked familar did she go to Moline. I won't drop names but does it start with a K....maybe? I wish I would've brought my car out,cause there ended up being a total of 30-35 cars, and half of you guys left by 2. Next Sat. they're plannin another Fun Day like they did today. Racin from 12-4pm Kirkman I think thats the name was runnin into the 7's with a 1.0 60ft!! I love that car. |

Yeah I guess the guy in front has Parkinson's or something like that, and it must of been acting up. For some reason he put it in reverse, and gave it alittle gas. The guy that got hit works @ the tech/gas area. I've come close to running into somebody. I'd be pushing my car, and I would go for the brake with my left foot hanging out ,and my right foot would hit the clutch. Luckily I've hit the brakes in time. I've had 2 close calls. I'd be so pissed at myself if I ever did that. Embarrassed for life to  . Bambam where you driving the black Camaro? I think there was only 1 black one today  At least only one going into the 10's. Car runs like a bat out of hell. |

yea it was me in the black camaro ss. This is your car, right? Absolutely friggin beautiful man. I love the Bogarts...  I couldn't ever break a 14.1. It was embarassing really. That's the first and last time I ever go to the track on big 18" chrome wheels and street tires. I swear the car hooked 100 times better on the road on the way home than any pass I had that day. Oh well, was my first time there and everyone has to start somewhere I guess.... |

I was #4470. Unless another Cobra came after I left at 2 o'clock that was me... He has black ZR1 wheels on the rear? I know I was lined up against that car...  |

Nope that was him... now that I think about it number 7 was in a class event. He raced a white cobra a few different times... appears that it was yours. I think he ran 12.4 @ 112mph or something like that... |

What do you have done to your Cobra Tabres? Seems like you have the trap for a much better ET.

About 5 years ago my 95 Mustang got rearended in the stageing lanes. Dude started his car in gear and floored it into the brand new Roush Mustang in front of him who then hit my car. The guys kid was just getting into the Roush when it happened. He went sailing like 20 feet and ended up breaking his wrist and shoulder. Nick was driving my Mustang much to his bewilderment.

What do you have done to your Cobra Tabres? Seems like you have the trap for a much better ET. Not a lot really... Bassani Off-road X-pipe Flowmaster catback 4.10 gears That's about it as far as any real go fast mods. It's also got... Alluminum driveshaft King Cobra clutch Steeda short throw shifter H&R super sport springs (I'm sure those didn't help) Maximum Motorsports full-length subframes Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates 18x9/18x10 chrome Saleen wheels with 295 Kumho Ecsta MX's on the rear. It just spun all the way through 2nd every time no matter what I did. I'd try to peddle it and let it catch and it seemed to run slower than if I just drove through it. Best runs of the day were 14.14 @ 100.38 w/ a 2.13 60' 14.13 @ 100.77 w/ a 2.18 60' 14.19 @ 98.43 w/ a 2.20 60' I know I need to practice really, so it's ok to tell me I suck at driving... haha |

Yeah that was really Gary, and my fault. Starter steve left for some reason, and either of us where ready at the switch. If Steve tells me to do it then I'm all over it. I don't think he told either of use what was going on. Sorry about that. |

You have to much power for street tires. Drag radials, or slicks are your friend.Well, maybe your enemy  |
