First of all it was at test-n-tune at the track - not on the street.
I usually get lined up next to pieces of junk but Wednesday was different.
First run of the night I was lined up against a C-4. Trying to get the car dialded in since I just drove it 20 miles to the track from my office. I ran a 12.52 @ 108 to his 15.44 @ 90.
After another tuneing run I was lined up next to a late 90's early '00 mustang with a cobra emblem on the front 1/4 panel - but the back bumper just said Mustang. I ran an 11.86 @ 113 to his 15.23 @ 96.
Last run of the night I lined up next to a big Suzuki crotch rocket. I was pretty sure I would lose seeing the bike had to be at least 1000cc and the rider was in full leathers. Luckily the rider couldn't ride well and I ran an 11.82 @ 115 to his 12.44 @ 123 - his 60' was 2.534! but he was flying at the end of the run.
All in all a very satisfying night. With a best et of 11.750 @ 115.50 - not bad for car driven to work, then the track and then home (about 60 miles) at 5800' and a barometer of 23.69!
 
The 60's were 1.68 to 1.80 - I'll need to look at the slips for the 1/8th et & mph.
 
I am am curious because I have no 1/4 mile tracks near me and I think are cars are pretty close. When you get a chance post the 1/8 #'s
Thanks,
Rich
