Getting kinda antsy to see the car running again. Figured I'd throw up these vids to help pass the time.


 
1.55, my best was a 7.23 and had a 1.50 60'.

For a all stock motor w/124,000 miles and a TE 60 I was pretty happy.

Nice vid and nice run! What tires are you running? Radials?
The 1st was my old 16" GTA's with M&H 275's on the rear. GREAT tire overall for 16's. Held up great for mileage and decent for grip.
2nd was 275 MT ET Streets on 15's. This is what I'm running now.

What was your R/T (reaction time) on those runs? ;)
S.L.O.W....:D, the 1st was testing before the 7.60 class for the monthly street car race. The 2nd was the last pass on a different night after the races, I was bringing the boost up and as soon I as felt the brakes start to give I let off.

Figured as much. I was watching the lights come down and your car in both runs never even started to move until the green light had been on for quite a long time.
to cut a good light you should start moving during the last yellow. At least that's how I did it during my 25+ years of racing my GN. As soon as the last yellow started to glow up, I'd go.
 
Here's a little better one. 1st round of the 7.60 Street Car races.
