Hit the strip yesterday for Wed Nite Drags with my Friend JRODSG8 who has been a member/lurker here for a year. It was his first time ever at the strip with his pumpkin G8 GT. He has Livernois Stage 1 Cam with a DOD delete, and a 3200 stall with a custom dyno tune. He pulled down a best time of [email protected] and a couple 2.0 60fts. Not bad for street tires and a first timer.
On one pass he almost ate the wall but hey, if you aren't close to wrecking your car you aren't trying hard enoug :slap:
Now on to my adventure at the track. DAs started at 1250 and got down to 500 by the end of the night. I made 10 passes in less than 5 hours and my car was super heat soaked. Trans was cooked but I couldn't stop as I wanted the seat time. I ran 12.0X consecutive passes until my last two runs of bracket racing when my beat on and heat soaked car pulled off my first ever night of bracket racing win, and a couple 11.9s. What a feeling to win brackets AND get a PB in the process while breaking into a new milestone time. It is a story of the tiny DOD cam that could. Mad props to Pat G!
The PB setting, and bracket winning pass! Hookin' and Bookin'!
The winners circle feels awesome. I a won a fancy mug to fill with beer and the coveted Street Legal Drags Winner sticker for the car.
another pass against against JRODSG8. DA was 1200ft and I was still getting 12.0Xs. I gotta let this car cool down one day between passes.
The Yeti is impossibly consistent now. 16 0f my last 18 passes have been 12.0X or better with DA's between 500-1300FT
There is something gratifying about running down a C6 Vette
Sounds Nasty...
To put some of my times into perspective here are what some of the other cars were running out there...
2008 Charger SRT8 13.6s
2012 392 SRT challenger 13.2s
2008 Bone Stock G8 GT 14.0
Supercharged 2011 5.0 11.4
Procharged A4 LS2 GTO 12.4
