Why are guys not as talkative this year about their times? Did not that many TCGers run?

not many at all.

and the temps weren't helping anyone either.

I didnt see many TCGers run on sunday, compared to last year.


very hot though = not good speeds :/

:werd:




I was hoping for 145 , and thinking it may have it in it.


I was wrong.

went 140.2 yesterday around just before lunch. everything was just stupid hot.

My best was 147.7, I think the car has too much traction for stock power on that surface. Best pass I just matted the gas and dumped it, pedaled it slightly. Final pass I left off the LC @ 4300 and it only spun for about 10' and bogged - ran a 146.8 that pass.

I was happy I didn't miss second at all :rofl:

Yeah, I don't think many were happy with their times. October should be better.

I agree.

Unfortunately Mecum Chicago is that weekend so I don't think I'll be able to run.

I wanted to get 139 again, but couldnt manage it. 136.6 is all she had in her. I drove really bad this year compared to last though.

did you do any performance mods since last year?

I think that 2.5 mph could be attributed to the weather too.



October WILL be fun... :io:

i agree. hopefully i can get there to at least watch on sunday.

That would effect your point a to point b time, not your MPH though. Seems like your car was down on power vs the stock one with a catch can blowing your doors off.

:h5: to me.

the troll is strong today in this one :rofl:

I don't know who you were talking to though either.



i wanted low 140's and was only able to get a 137.2, heat was a killer after lunch, i ran one more time stuck the launch decent and pulled about 8-10 lengths on the white 5.0 and only managed a 135


my car said it was 92* for my pass at like 11:45 yesterday.

just too fugggin' hot.

It was for Eagle but you posted before I finished :squint:

For reals though, the launch doesn't effect the MPH, just the ET. Your 18" wheels probably didn't hurt it much at all either, might have even helped it. Those things matter when you're trying to go from one point to another as fast as possible. MPH runs you can miss a gear and still run within .5mph of a perfect run.
