April 30, 2006 was mustang day at LACR and there was alot of people racing there. It was like 90 degrees F at least. Well i got in two passes, one at 11:30am and one at 2:30pm.
The first race:
Well this is my first race with the Holley 750 on the car. I had 15psi in the slicks when they were cold and after the race the pressure increased to 18psi. As you will note from the Yellow colored timeslip(Yellow because i didnt win the race), i had a .107 reaction time with a 1.778" 60ft. time. I left the line at around 2000rpm and just tromped on it. I ran a 12.769 at 105.437mph!! My previous best at LACR was a 12.84 at 105.0mph with a 1.777 60ft. time.
The race itself was a very good race. I was in the left lane and there was a 2006 GT Mustang in the right lane. I jumped on him by a tenth and then about halfway down we were even, and then he pulled on me!!! i was shocked...he ran a 12.509 at 108.831mph with a 1.759" 60 ft. When we made it back to the pit lanes, he came over and shook my hand and said, "that was one hell of a race" His modifications were 4.10 rear end gears, drag radial tires, and a 125HP shot of Nitrous.
Race number 2:
I lined up with a 91 Fox body mustang who red lighted by .191 seconds and still got wasted. I ran a 12.685 at 105.675mph with a 60ft time of 1.754" and a reaction time of .069". Once again it was about a 2000rpm launch and then full throttle all the way. I had lowered the pressure in the slicks to 13psi cold and when i had made the pass i checked it again and it rose to 16.5psi.
So now my best at LACR is a 12.68 !!!
