[V10SpeedLuvr]

Photoshop!


JK Congrats on the great numbers and obviously great driving!

 

[Batboy]

So I guess you will be there on May 20th? I was thinking of trying my hand too. Was this your first time? If so I would say that's an excellent time.

 

[SYNFULL]

Damn Dude, Good job! I know my car has mid 11's in it too.

Congrats on a great run.

At 47 degree O.A. temps. the air is a lot more dense and it is filled with lots of oxygen. Low humidity helps also. Combined this makes more HP. Spring and fall make for the best runs. Usually the NHRA breaks records during these periods.


Thus the opposite occurs in summer with high humidity and temps.

[Fred(DrivingSchool)Kinder]

Those are Great runs!

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Great job! When the moon and stars all line up and there's a quarter mile of VHT on the dragstrip...

Seriously, good work.

 

[SYNFULL]

So that was my probem. I had 100% humidity!
See you on the 20th!

You must be registered for see images

Just glancing at your timeslips you have more in it by at least 2 tenths. Notice how on your 11.83 pass had almost 4 more mph, and a better 60 foot. It was something you did different on the 11.59 pass which made your 330 time a tenth quicker, perhaps shorted sooner or later?

If you combine what you did on your 11.59 and the 11.83 I think an 11.40 or so is possible.

Was the track just super well prepped or are you just that good of a driver? Now get back out there....

 

[ViperJohn]

Great job Tom!

 

[Knight Viper]

AWESOME DRIVING TOM! was that on your MPS or a drag radial? I can't wait to get the car out of the shop and join you

[BOGOTA]

LOL. very good runs, congrats. I need to head out to Atco in the GTS.

 

[V 10 MAFIA]

Great track, Great Driving, Great Car, Great Results!!
Really nice Job!! That is very fast for only having those minimal mods on your car. I'm Jealous!!

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

Very nice times, what kind of launch technique? Those 60' are quite awesome! Any tire pressure adjustments?

 

[Batboy]

You know Tom I just realized isn't the record for a stock Viper 11.58? Someone chime in that knows. If I am correct or even close that means you were real close to beating it. That's pretty awesome if true.

 

[JGK95]

DAMN!

Congrats on the score! I too thought"So what, another 12 seconder..." Then I saw the time slip...


and

"DAMN!"

Great Job!

[ArlyDude]

Ya, cmon, I wanna hear about this launch...

Hmm, I wonder how much we can believe this timeslip, being you ran those times tomorrow according to the paper!

Today's the 25th, it's not even the 26th yet.....Maybe that has something to do with those times!

[Asp Man]

Awesome times. Esp. for hot-lapping it. 5mins between your .833 and the .830, I'd be tempted to let it cool down some, even if the temps' in the 40's (which probably helped a bit on the ETs, but certainly not the RTs.)
As mentioned above about 60' times, even if you could squeez another few hundreds off you can double it on the other end, 11.40's within reach for sure.
