New PB at US 131 Motorsports Park 5-1-15

Post by donky4444 »

I ran a 12.56 Friday night for a new PB. Last years best was 12.75. Changes from last year are 4X to 4X+, added .075 gallons of E85 to 13 gallons of 93 octane and dropped tire pressures to 25f/26r. I weighed in at 4,505 lbs. this was in my 2011 SHO with a tune only.

Im left lane, first run of the night, fastest of the night and PB.

This run was against a tuned 300zx twin turbo, I'm in the left lane.

This was against a 70's Nova with slicks and a wheelie bar. I knew I'd loose this one. Video link below.

Wow! That thing is really hauling ass, especially for how much it weighs.

Nice times.

Wow, our cars are old and slow. That time would get you in the top 5 in the H Body times list, and yours is just tuned.

It's so fun pulling up in the lanes and watching the laughs from tuners, Mustangs, camaros and even some vettes. They are t laughing once my couch beats them to the other end. AWD and turbos make for lots of fun.
