First time back to the track in 6 years.

These M&H DRs hook nice. At a crappy prepped track my best 60 foot today was a 1.6 which led to a 11.38 @ 119. I'm shooting for 10.99 next week.

Which M&H's are you running, also rims?
that's some really impressive times.

Six years is a long time to be away. Now you are probably wondering how could I have let it go for so long.

I'm running the 325/45/17s.

on 17x9 take offs.
It took about 3 runs of dialing in my shocks and struts and PSI in the tires. My best time with this setup was:
Struts 5 off full hard
Shocks 3 off full hard
14psi in the tires.

My only questing is shouldn't my MPH be a bit higher? My first run was a 12.4 with a 123mph spinning and letting out of it off the line.

I'm not sure why I stopped going 6 years ago, Probably because it was so crowded sometimes I would not run at all.

seems a little low for a 11.3.
What rear gears are you running,the reason I'm asking is a friend of mine is running 11.7 with the same trap speed as yours but he has 4:10

Nice times!

Off topic,
Where did you get the 17x9 take offs, im looking for some myself

Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle has the 17x9 bullit rims that will fit our cars.
I believe the oem rims are 17x8

Stoenr · 03-09-2008

Yeah, I looked at those. New tho.
Looking to go the cheapest way really, take off's just sounded better, lol.

I currently am running 275/40/17 drag radials on the 17x8, they fit, but would be better on a 17x9. If I can find them cheap/reasonable I would make the switch.

jeostang · 03-09-2008

I'm running a 4:10 gear. Maybe its the tire height?

these the the exact rims I got.

Black Mustang Bullitt Wheel - 2005+ (17x9)

**stlwagon** · 03-09-2008

Super times... Where did you run at?

jeostang · 03-09-2008

Capitol Raceway.

When I get my Trailer I'll be down at MIR.

We'll have to hook up!

MickMach · 03-09-2008

those are some very good numbers! do you have a roll bar?
my MPH was 118 with a 1.68 60ft I think I could get my et down. I run 4.10 with the same tires.

Where you there yesterday? I'm considering a roll bar after I saw a stock nissan Z hit the wall, drove up the wall and almost fell backwards on the roof. Turned out it was driver error.

Yeah I'll being going every Friday most likely, but I plan to get there when the gates open so I can get in at least 4 runs. Yesterday I got 5 runs, and left at 3.
