This past Friday I went back to Orlando speed world. Last time I was there I ran my personal best of 13.00. I was both happy and a little frustrated at being so close to my goal and not getting it. This time I pulled some weight out to help me drop my e.t. I removed the passenger and rear seat along with everything in the trunk. All together I was able to get 165lbs out of it. I didn't want to get crazy because I would have to put it all back soon. There was rain early in the day that dried up mid afternoon. Temperature was ok but not great at around 70*-75*. The traction was not as good as it was last time but not too bad.
First run was 13.086 @107.25. Second run there was some water on the line from the previous cars A/C so I spun lots. Third and final run of the night I spun a little but not bad and it ran good with a 12.997. That's about as close as it gets but good enough for me. This was still with my heavy mustang 18" wheels and a 2.0X 60ft. If I ran some slicks or good dr's I could drop that a good amount but I want to give my stock tranny a fair chance of staying in one piece. I might pull some weight one more time this season to see what it will run on a truly cold night, but for now I'm super happy with it.
