New personal best at GLD 11.6@ 120

Went out to GLD last night after two days of trying to make passes and failing, decided I would try one more time. 2nd pass of the night was my first dip into the 11's but I still had traction issues and didn't get to launch out the hole on the nitrous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE-ncFTpp94 Dennis was able to shoot a little video on his nice HD camera. I am VERY happy to run these times on a stock gear and stock rear end. Next is a taller gear and a 17" hoosier slick. Now lets pick a day for everyone to go out to the track and chill!!

Great times. Looks like your new setup worked!

awesome times. good job kickin that fox bodys ass too.

CWow awesome times and that was a soft launch too...I see faster times in your future.Congrats

wow! We do need a CAMM day at the track for sure!

Congrats on the new best!!!

Congrats bro, awesome time.

Thanks everyone it's been a long time coming. Went out today and backed it up with a 11.7 run at 117 with really low bottle pressure. It really hooked up off the line today I will post a video soon!

Here is the video from in the car. Don't have the outside view yet, coming later tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLO2SvtfrM8

That was awesome!!!!!!

That was pretty stout, Zack. Really nice run there. I saw a little trick to hook better off of the line with the open re the other day. Just before you stage, back up and stop, then drop into gear and roll up to stage. It supposedly gives you a posi launch. I'm gonna try it next time. Don't know if it works or not, but that's what I heard.

gangsta fast, congrats!

Congrats on your new PB!!

I think it was in the dr section of the Z

You need to get your beast to the track, and see what it does!

I agree. I wish I could've gone once at each mod I did to see the difference. From what I have seen in the warmer weather these Nitto's are grabbing almost like dr's. I need to practice some launches now. I don't want to snap my axles.

Thanks for the tip Thomas If that works it will help us a lot!! Definitely going to try that out next time.

Thanks everyone we gotta all get out there soon!!

I can't wait to get out there again. Zack., you have got lot's of track experience, and it shows man. You rock, dude! I'm still a noob at these lx platform cars. I'm getting better though. I just need some more experience at the track.

Seat time is all you need to dial your beast in! I made over *guessing* 80 passes on my old setup and about 7 on the new one, all with the same drag radial which I have gotten used to. It's all about the launch on these cars out of 7 passes I have had only 2 were in the 11's because of traction issues. Gotta get to know your tire and what pressure it likes, mine seem to like 21 for now but after the CAMM GLD meet they are going to be done for the season. Hope you make it out on the 30th!

So can't wait to see your car run again dude!

It's been a long time since I seen my CAMM buddies can't wait

Wonder if WAMM will be there as well........
