93_ChargedCobra_342 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 My story. It sounded like a recaped tire tread beating my rear quarters in. I think that is what you picked up, looked like a gator skin laying a freeway when it came flying out! Glad nothing was seriously hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradyPPC Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Had a fun time yesterday. I was able to get the car to go 12.07 on a 1.77 60'. The previous best was a 12.06 on a 1.63 (iirc). On the next pass, I snapped the driveshaft in two though. Oh well.......things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksunshine Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 10.85@133.73, I never expected to run in the tens yesterday. I knew the air was great and the mph would be up, but never expected to have the traction for a ten second ride. The traction yesterday was on the level with Norwalk. My best 60' yesterday was 1.61. I was riding on 3+ year old M/T DRs 275/45-17. The last time I went that fast on these tires was the last track day we held at Norwalk. My tires were new that day, Sept 28, 2007! Hell, on 8" slicks at Columbus I only managed at 1.60. Dragway 42 is my favorite. I ran 11.16@131.74 with my Dad riding shotgun. That was the only time I got bitched at:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k2gt Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 ^^^Your car was running great..and it is one loud stang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksunshine Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Thanks for the compliments. It is too loud, it sometimes draws unwanted attention. I may address that this winter. I watched your GT run several times. Were you loosing traction at mid track? That thing sounded radical, like it was coming on boost and spinning the tires midtrack.

And your not afraid to actually hot lap. That thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clone Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 The track was good and I was disappointed that I did not get to bring the Cuda due to trailer issues. The Roush ran it's best ever. I have never been able to get it to hookup and it did at D42 Best Run slipping the cluch to avoid a bog or wheel hop. 1.91 60" 12.87 ET 111.09 MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets busy! And your not afraid to actually hot lap. That thing! Thanks Paul. I baby it at the track. At home, joy rides are usually followed by donuts until I'm afraid the fuzz is on the way. You own and race the silver SRT4, right? If so, you are the king of hot lapping! I remember D42 two years ago. Jim, my Dad was disappointed when he didn't see the 'cuda.
