    Knocking on the 12.3xx door

    To bring everyone up to speed on the 3rd pass of opening day at Edgewater in March, my trusty T5 decided to take a break literally! So in goes a faceplated gforce courtesy of Chad393na (thanks buddy!) I was trying to hold off putting in the faceplated T5 until I got in the low 12's with the synchronized transmission but hey I couldn't resist. The last pass I bogged to a 12.48 (my previous best) Here are the incrementals:

    60'........1.597
    330.......4.982
    1/8.......7.832
    MPH......85.98
    1000....10.303
    1/4......12.413
    MPH.....106.58

    What's cool is that the air last night was decent but not great and I've had several 1.57 60' times in the past at Edgewater and Kilkare, I believe this fall if I can hook I got a shot at 12.2xx's!


    Peace

    They look more like twin brothers than father/son, lol. He's a great guy and a veteran with a cool story as well.

    Jeff, they were manufactured in July 2011, I bought them new off Jegs showroom floor in November 2012. They have less than 50 passes I think.

    Ok...not to old then. Wonder if your 60' would pickup by switching to a set of Hoosier 26x8.5 that are stiffwalls. All the 8.5 guys run the Hoosiers due to them lasting longer and for the most part working better than the m/t's.

    Yeah guys I tried them out 4 years ago for several passes couresty of Rick (331twistedwedge) the Hoosiers were actually less than .01 a hundredth slower in the 60' than the MT's but I'd be willing to give the Hoosier's another shot.

    Congrats buddy!! I knew it wouldn't take long to break that barrier! I'm sure it's only going to get quicker as you get used to that transmission.
