Pretty good run, a little spin but not too bad. This was the first of my three losses to Mustangs. This one was a coupe. It ran a 14.66 @ 98.9.
SECOND RUN
I spun like crazy (2.48 short time) and it
just went downhill from there. Its not even worth giving all the details.
But I'll say this much, 15.13 @ 92.4. That was the only 15 I ever ran

This run suprised the hell out of me! It was more
than I wanted or expected. I haven't stopped smiling since! Between the ET
and Trap Speed improvements I can't be happier. My 60 ft was identical to the
first run(it felt like a better launch though) but it ran like crazy after that.
Some guy I was talking to up there was saying how good my 14.6 was especially with
the mods and the AOD and leaving it in drive. I wonder if he saw my 14.4? By the way
I don't heat up my tires and I launch at idle. Pretty good huh?

I don't know what happened here. My 60 foot was good. I think that was my best ever at that time but my car just didn't run good after that. It might have still been warm. Any way you look at it I was pissed!

I was real mad before this run. I bought a bag of ice and cooled the intake just hoping for something better. I told myself and everyone that if I didn't get a 14 that night I wasn't doing anything to my car again. A 14.7 would have made me happy. When I saw the 14.2 I couldn't believe it. Especially since I hadn't done any work to my car. The air was about 10-15 degrees cooler than the last time. A friend of mine with a Mustang (modified alot more than mine) came running over to me and was shocked. He has an AOD too, but he shifts his (1-2-1) and he has recently only ran a 14.6. He swears up and down that I have more work done to my car, but to my knowledge I don't.

My car hesitated off the line on this run. It had been sitting for an hour and a half and when I got to the line it was real cold. I was suprised I pulled the 14.3 but I was happy. I probably could have done better though.

This was my first run in over a year and a half with no mods to the car. The car had not been running right for about the previous 5 months and me and my best friend had just brought it back to life. I went up there hoping to run at least a 14.50 and I got it on the first run. The was the first time I had ever ran on the michelin pilots and they hooked up good on this run. My MPH was a little lower that I would have liked.

Well, I think its pretty obvious what the problem was here. The 60 ft blew. When I saw that up on the board I knew the rest of the run was already ruined. I'm not too discouraged with it though. If you notice, on the same day I ran a 14.23, I also ran a 15.2 @ 93, with a 2.2 60ft. That was clearly worse. I actually hooked up there but still ran like shit. I've come to the conclusion that my car is anything but consistent. If I would have hooked on this run I probably would have ran real close to my first time of the day. I ran against my best friend Kevin on this run. He pulled a 16.03 @ 85.3 in his 3.8 mustang. Thats his best run yet. I knew running against me would make him drive harder. I'm at least happy about that.
