Re: first time at the track yO !!!!
Read your topic title....guess what bud; this isn't MY first rodeo, ya dig? The probablity of you hitting that time is slim and none, but there is the chance you did and looks like you have. Congrats. Look at it from our point of view, it's not normal.

You've never even driven a boosted car. Get real....hating? It's a simple $500 built D with a launch that most people don't see on 20" slicks. Expierence, knowledge, whatever you want to call it I have that upper hand and just as someone else stated it's not a common thing. I've seen track errors and I've gone to officials and said something and got the "oh no, everything is fine". Yeah, I pulled a 1.6 60' on all-season tires.
He's in a pig heavy, full interior coupe with nothing more than probably average dropped springs NOT 900lbs rear drag springs, NO traction bars, and his first time at the track. Look at the facts not the miracle. You get out there and get around the real deal you'd understand what goes on outside CFT and H-T dyno queens.Hating, ha. I'm stating the obvious normalities of these common builds. No doubt he probably DID hit it, but who knows he patted the gas and braked so much who knows what trap speed he'd had.
In this case, bow to Floyd he hit 1.2 60' on BFGs and me to a 1.6 on all-seasons. Track officials said times were accurate so I guess I'm the best driver out there....no such thing as tech error...
He'll go to the track again. Dial his driving and get those consistent 12.3s with 1.8 60's and know for sure. Did it once, do it again, right?

Re: first time at the track yO !!!!
lol well its a fully gutted coupe, sitting on full tokico coilovers, he knows how to drive, this is NOT his first time at the track it IS his first time at the track with his built block and running high boost.
i tweaked his 2 step for him at the track and leaned out teh top end a bit to give him the edge....we were working with tire pressure all night, and GOD FORBID he ------- nailed it. it probabaly was a freak thing that he got out of the whole so good, but watch the video....that thing BOOKED out of the hole the last run.
it happened believe it or not, there is video proof of it....our local track is very well known for having an accurate timing system. i have been racing out there for 10+ years now and i bet i have had 1 timeslip ever that looked funny. temps were 70 degrees, corrected alt, was prolly less than 1k above sea level, he was in the finals so track prep was prime, and he ------- nailed it.
give props were props are due. ----.

Re: first time at the track yO !!!!
Sheesh, I believe you guys.....but once again look at common statistics, this is a far better than average run. I explain normal occurences and people act like I'm the guy bringing strange numbers to the table. Wow,....calm down.
? Who are you again? What do I gain by hating, nothing. Get over it.
