How far in the Eliminator did you make it?

my best was a 14.3

I ran about 3 runs after you, I saw your loss in the first round. I also lost in the first round, cause I set a breakout time of 14.6. I ran 14.4.

I ran in the consilation bracket after that and set my breakout time to 14.4. In my first run I ran 14.3, but the other guy broke out too, and I beat him to the line. In the 2nd round I raced a Neon SRT 4 that had a break out time of 13.16. I left mine at 14.4. In that race I ran the 14.2 and he ran 13.19. I beat him to the line by a length or so....but he won cause he didn't break out.

It was nice meeting you up there, glad to see another speed 6 :).

15.7 woot :D well, i think i did more of a 15.8- my time bracket run was a solid 15.9 but i took my foot off the gas cause i thought i was going to break out- ran solid 15.9s all day and a few 15.7s with slightly negative reaction times (like .092) which in my book equals a 15.8. fun stuff- tom did well too but when he gets actual slicks he will hook up like crazy! cant wait til next season! after some mods and up'd boost i will be excited to see what she can do. im happy since the times i got were on stock boost, stock internals, and all season tires!!! yea! (first)
 
Cool. Tom, what did you run? I'm assuming better than last time with drag radials.
 
Here are my times.. I also took home a trophy for winning the 13.5 Class:)
If any wants to see some of the slips let me know.

I will be getting slicks for the next track day. I was still spinning all through 1st and 2nd gear. With slicks I should be able to drop my times a decent amount I think.

Very Nice!
 
Those times definitely improved though with the drag radials. I don't now much about dragging but you are trapping a lot of MPH and with a better reaction time and 60 FT time I would say you should see maybe high 12's with slicks. I don't know though. That must be fun as hell at the track!!! You can't do that kinda s*** on the street. Any vids?

I am not sure about the times. I guess we will have to wait until next year.
But it is way fun... Well worth the $37

I have vids of both times. I just need to find some time to get them off of my camcorder. I will try and do it soon, and I will post a few.

There is another event on the 21st or 22nd :)
 
Yup.. Thanks for letting me use your DR's... They helped.. But I will need slicks to bring it down any more..

The other thing it did is keep my time more consistent.
