Big congrats! That's a very good number.. I guess pro-touring cars can run fast at the drag strip as well..

60ft is where you make up your ET. Your 123mph should yield some nice low 11-teens or high 11.0's. Get that 60ft under control and you'll see some lower ET's for sure.
Good job for the first time.

Was this on the motor or "gas"? Pretty trick for a street car that should be able to handle as well?

Thanks guys. A friend took video of one of my passes, I'll have to see if I can get a copy from him sometime this week.

Hey Scott wow that's impressive. That's haulin'!!! And it handles??? LOL! Like Steve D. said above - drop that 60 ft. and your times will drop a lot. I think a Mickey Thompson ET Street would get you 1.60s 60-ft times. I think you're car has a high 10 in it atleast. Depending on how much Nos you have it could be a 9 second car and still be driveable to the track. My buddy and I used to drive 40 minutes down the highway to the track with our Mustangs on ET Streets. We'd always be checking the weather reports before hand makin sure no rain was coming LOL! I don't recommend them for daily driving duties but you can drive on them!

Awesome Scott...hey we can't give the car all the credit either, Scott - seems you've been down the strip a couple times before???
