New Best at Barona 7.26

[spdpilot]

Man I am in no way trying to say you didnt run what your slip says but isnt the mph low for a 7.2 in a blown car. I ran 7.5 at 98 so your 7.2 at 95 just seems backwards. I applaud you for taking your beast out there and running and hope for your sake that you did get a 7.2. Those are awesome times. Hell I cant get better than a 1.6 on an IRS car with MT ET streets and no wheel hop so you must have done something right. Like I said I am not doubting you or your car I just wanted to give my opinion. BTW how close was the race between you two on that race. Was he side by side with you or a car length ahead?

I know you aren't questioning my honesty. I am calling BS on my own. I have been doing a lot of research on stock GT500 times and there is just no way it can be accurate. If I had gears, MT's, and possibly a little more boost, but bone stock on street tires, no way. I have looked out at drag times and if I did the math right, this would have been a nearly 11.0 run in the 1/4. Maybe even a 10.99

No one wants to believe it more then me, but there is no way. I do want opinions and I thought it might be possible, but now that I have looked at it closer, the time must have been off. My Seat O Pants meter tells me it was maybe a high 7's or low 8's run.

I wasn't paying to much attention to the car next to me because of the whole stuck throttle situation going on in my car, although I do remember it was a wild sounding 68 camaro with slicks. We were neck and neck down the track. I thought he edged me out in the end.

It is hard to tell man. If you were neck and neck with him then both of your times had to have been off. Wierd....all I can say is go to Barona and get a good hard launch and bang the gears and see if you can duplicate it.

Quit talking about that **** already!!!

Andy he is just mad because he only made two qual. passes and didnt get to run again.
I only bring it up because that was the best my car ever hooked 1.8 60ft off street tires. Just wait you going to be saying can you quit talking about April I know its your new fastest time but that was a couple of monthes ago. I am going to hit mid 7's soon!!!
