Saw a couple of your runs last night. First was around 15.6 which I thought was pretty decent. Good to see you into the 15.4's.. nothing wrong with that time at all.

Hey I think I spoke to you during the night. Were you the one that recently converted from auto to manual and knocked something like .4 sec off your previous time? Thats a very good achievement for a first time out the drags with a manual.......its a whole new ball game with a :eclipsee_. A bit more practice and you will probably knock a tenth or two off that time.

yeh i was suprised it did a 15.4 lol i just didnt think it was gonna go any faster! first few runs i got bad luck with staging as they let us go as soon as we staged and didnt have time to properly set the revs. I had 15 inch stockies on aswell, suprised it got power down so well!
Saw a typhoon there aswell, a blue one. it did some wicked time like a 12.1...is the car from the forums does any one know?

Envi, what was your MPH, dont worry about the time so much... 15.4 is decent though..
If your at 88MPH then you've got a 15.0.. 90MPH+ then thats 14.9's or faster. |

There you go, you have the mph to break into the 14's.. just takes practise from here.
