Friday Night Street Legal Drags at Mission Raceway

Took the car to Mission Raceway for Friday Night Street Legal Drags. I haven't raced her since I purchased her back in April of 2005. If I remember right, she ran a 14.2 @ 100 mph. Now, with all the mods I have done to this day, I decided it was time to run her again. It was a beautiful summer evening, with a track temp of 24 degrees. My first run wasn't too bad. Here are the numbers on the time slip.

R/T .493
60' 2.149
330' 5.885
1/8 8.911
MPH 81.30
1000' 11.502
1/4 13.678
MPH 103.84

My reaction times always sucked. And as a result, I can't seem to get a good 1/4 mile ET. Traction too was a problem for me. With stock street tires, I couldn't seem to hook up. And as a result, that too slowed my ET time. I improved on my second pass, but not too much to brag about.

R/T .513
60' 2.173
330' 5.849
1/8 8.896
MPH 79.52
1000' 11.640
1/4 13.640
MPH 130.74

It seems that my runs are pretty consistant and without a set of Mickey Thompson ET Street drag tires and a quicker R/T, looks like this is what Roxy can do for now. I'll be setting up an appointment for the use of a dyno to get a custom tune done for the car which will be uploaded into my DiabloSport Predator tuner. This will be performed by Wayne Johnson of Brown Bros. Ford in Vancouver. We'll see what Roxy will run after the tune. I'm expecting a considerable difference in performance just with the tune alone. We'll see.
