sorry, I didnt get the 11 sec pass on tape but here is one of my qualifiers.
I ran a 12.3 @ 125 bogging the launch and missing 3rd. My trans is hurt and you can here how bad 3rd grinds when I down shift at the end. I was pairing up against a 550 hp celica but I wasnt concerned with racing him since it was a qualifier which is why I started well after the light. slip is as follows.

supra celica
r/t 1.46 .679
60" 2.209 2.124
330 5.473 5.894
1/8 8.288 8.640
mph 91.08 92.38
1000 10.491 10.847
1/4 12.323 12.750
mph 125.42 121.35

Sounded great

I know 9 parts of FA about Drag racing but it didn't seem to launch very hard?

I tried to launch it soft as Im on 17 in drag radials and it bogged. I got a much better launch on the next pass and the car got into the 11's but the clutch fried and I ended up pedaling it all the way down the track. I was getting worried about the clutch exploding from the heat since it was slipping so bad.

Ahhhh I see

Thanks for the explanation as I said I'm NOT a drag racer!

[gilberjj]

He ran a 12.7 @ 121 to my 12.3 @125 on that run. It was my first pass and was just a qualifying pass so I wasnt trying to cut a good light. I was more concerned with getting a good launch. That was the only pass that the clutch didnt slip that weekend. I dont even know where the boost was set and I still havent plugged in the lap top to check the logs. Its now time to rebuild the trans and get a better clutch. The exedy twin just isnt up to the task.

Yeah, that was my first practice run right off the trailer that day. The 1.46 reaction time is a good indication of that. I was more concerned about practicing the launch rather than beating the person next to me.

I had that idea too late when i ran my MR2 for the first time, i went over the line and when i backed up the tree went off right away and i was forced to take off at like 1000 rpms. In retrospect i should have just waited and did a real launch, but it was adrenaline. Oh well.

dont feel to bad, my first pass at the track two weeks ago wasnt any better. good stuff, just need more seat time, just like me.. lol
