I first like to thank Mike for coming out on his time. This is not at the track. This is a computer that mounts to the windshield

The best I ran was 14.55 @ 100.7mph. My 60' was 2.61 and 1/8 mile was 9.59. So I'm pretty sure I would do a little better if I could leave good. The car was bogging a little off the line which didn't help. Mike said it's about two tenths so on e.t. so about 14.3s or so. Hopefully I can figure out why my car is running ****ty off the start and get my 60s down to like a 2.1-2.2 on the street. Thanks again Mike.

No problem guys. At the track, the 60ft would be much better, as would your ET. Tim, You have a very clean looking Olds. Good luck w/it. Sounds mean.

Bad 60' = Higher Traps.

He had a 2.6 60' and went only 14.5@ 100.

A 100mph trap is good for high 13's with a 2.0/1 60'.


Bottom line, would have better times at a track along with a better 60' but not higher traps.

That plus his car was bogging off the line. Car runs nice though. I like that body style. Almost looks like the 80's version of the Hurst Olds or
4-4-2.

He almost hit 101. He went about 100.6 mph. 0-60 was 6.08. On the last run I made an error and forgot to tell him not to shut the car off before I got the data. That was his best ET at 14.5 but I never got the mph. :( He got the 100.6 on his 14.6 run.

I figure with a sticky track and the car much cooler he'd run high 13's as you stated. He ran right after we got to the spot. No cool down or anything. :lol:

Sounds like you'd be a good run for the TA... we'll have to set something up before the end of the summer.

We should all set up a race day at a local track and do a little "grudge" racing. Not that we have grudges, but it would be hella fun!
