Gecko this is in no way degrading your time just some food for thought.
Taking in mind first pass 13.66@104 (2.10 60ft)
MPH
Your first pass you do a 104mph then do a 117pmh next pass you would think alot of extra power is needed for a 13mph increase even after cooling down.
Now have a look at it (13.19 slip) from the 1000ft you take 1.990 sec from 1000ft to 1320ft(finish) the car next to you takes 1.992 (rembering his mph-112.98) therefor both cars have taken the same time to travel the same distance which is saying they should be running the same mph simple physics.
MY trapspeed correction chart came to the same conclusion, on the chart your 117 was corrected to 113.1 all other mph on both slips were correct.

ET
Then looking at the progression times 330, 660, 1000ft are the same (time between each point) very similar to times similar conditions (RA-1400ft) I have done with similar 60ft untill the 1000ft mark then things go haywire (in other words showing some sort of timing falt at the 1000ft mark onwards which was showing you were heading for a high 13.3 to low 13.4 according to your inproved 60ft (2.039).

Dont get me wrong I would be stoked and amazed to see that a unopened boss could achieve those figures.

The only way to confirm that slip and silence the critics would run it again atleast 3 passes.
If you back it up well we have a new title contender if not you know the timing boards were out.

Mate I hope you do its all good for us boss owners :sm_headba

Unfortunately due to preparations that need to be done and other commitments in my life, that was the last run for the car in my ownership. That was always the plan and will remain. I am not going to go back there at my inconvenience for the sake of others, the next car I take up will be the GT.

True ET or not, I am happy with the night as I know the last run was a PB, just unsure of by how much.

I am also deffinate you did a PB on that last run mate but as you said unsure of how much seems to look like you were heading for a low 13.4.
Also a 2.039 60ft is not to shabby with stock diff gears.

Go luck with the GT Gecko!

Definately a PB. 13.3??.
The attached timeslip is a race between two Auto BA XR8 utes. Both have diff gears, custom edit, CAI, full exhaust and underdrives. The track conditions were very similar.
Your incrementals fall just about right between the two, apart from what happens after the 1000'.
IMO it would be reasonable to expect that your ET should also be between the two, as most street cars don't make a lot of ground in the final 320'.

Here here Lowrider and myv8 as we are old timers at this drag strip stuff we can clearly see that it was on a 13.3 or 13.4 and as we also know is that the car has not ran a quick time until it has backed it up just in case there is a fault with the timing boards..

Luckily your selling it hey or you could prove all us veterans wrong.......

I'll post my slip only because it outlines that even a professional track like WSID can get things wrong. I was on track for another 13.2 on this run, I was so ИИИИed off when I picked up my slip. All of the figures were correct except the E.T. and the lack of MPH. I forgot to mention, keep up the good work and get back out there!

At the 1/8 mark, by your time, you were on corse for a 13.6, but your mph was on corse for a high 11 or low 12. With that mph at half track, you were destined for very low ET, and then the MPH at full track showed a low ET at the end, but you were still in the 13's. It is oviouse the speed is incorrect, but good ET never the less.

A good Drag racer will negate the "maybe" times, and claim the common times.

Timeslips rule, but back them up or dont claim them. Andra rules say back it up or no record.

Its that simple.

However, the increments look good for ET, and confrats for the geck for getting the steering right on the night, good job.
