It defiintely takes up some real estate. I don't have a console and I'm not sure how they fit. Get a console and trial run it. That would be my reccomendation.

Yep, already started doing that, thanks for the suggestion thou. Definitely looks like I'm going to have to have work around the console. With the dampifier pro down already it doesn't look like the console will fit well with anything more if the carpet is going to still fit under it..

This was the first time I've ever had the car have PERFECT balance out of the shoots. I got 27 runs in 2 hours. What a blast. I didn't show up until about 1:30 and had a great dual with the great guys over at TCI. It was nice to take out all those 5th gen camaros and corvettes. :D

Man was it nice to have the R888's back on the car. As you'll see in the video, we were hauling the mail for such a tight venue. :thumbsup: My engine builder would kill me if he heard me bouncing it off the rev limiter this many times.:_paranoid

This is at the very end of the day trying to best my 25.8 by loosening the car up a little. Didn't happen.....

First time in my life that I've drag raced legally. I have to say, it was alot more fun than I expected. I slept in and showed up around 11. :D They still let me run but I was right into the brackets and had no clue where to set my ET. I dialed in a 11.23 and raced a 2006 chevy truck that was 6 seconds off my dial in the first run. After a short nap, I ran a 12.38 with wheel spin in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. My reaction time was .5xx. 60 ft time was 2.125 :rofl: Remember, never drag raced.

Race two I dialed in at 11.9 and ran a 12.2xx. My reaction was good but I still lost and bought myself back in again. I had massive wheel spin off the line but it hooked good after that.

Run three I dialed in at 12.1 and ran a 11.959. Met my goal at the time of getting into the 11's. (Weld, eat your heart out) 60 ft time was still a miserable 1.906 but I made it up on the top end at 119.39. We did have about a 20mph head wind which I have no clue how much that effects things. With a little more practice, I think she's got a 11.7 in her.

Played around with some calculators for fun:

With a 1.9 second 60 foot time, that normally equates to a 14 second car.

0-60 based on 1/8 mile times was 3.16 seconds which takes out supercars.

Based on my mph, I should be able to run an 11.1 second quarter BUT that would require me to get my 60 foot time down to 1.54 which ain't happening without drag slicks and was softer springs.

Most everybody was impressed after watching it on the Autocross the day before. A win at the Autocross and into the 11's was a great weekend. I'll definitely drag race again. Best part is driving the car to both events and back home. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
