finally got into the 12s

[95talongirl]

So took the Talon to the track the other night for some test runs down the track with the 16g on race gas.

Here's the GoPro footage from the 5 runs. Best of the night was a [email protected]. I left the 14-sec run in there as I still managed to beat a Mustang GT coasting through the traps due to the coil plug coming off.

Next time out, hoping to figure out the launch and get a low 12 or maybe squeak a high 11! That would be amazing! I was just happy that it made some clean runs.

Nice job

Awesome ! Cant wait to run mine.

Looking real good. That run that you kicked the coil looked like a good one.

Why don't you throw a little boost at her on the launch? At least get up on the two-step? I think it would help you get out the hole..

Again..Great job.

Yup, you are right! The one where the coil plug came loose was actually my best 60-ft of the night: 2.0-something. So it figures it happened on that one!

I do plan on trying the 2-step again at the Shootout. The problem I have now, is that it seems I only get a chance to race the car once every 6 months or so due to a variety of reasons; most being work... then it's like re-learning how to drive all over again! Now that I got some clean runs out of it, I'm feeling a little more confident about bring it up in rpm.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats. Hopefully I will have my 16g set up on this winter or next spring. Beating Mustangs FTW!!

Nice pass man I'm getting nervous to run this Saturday, going to be my 1st ever run down the 1/4..

No one says you can't drive the race car to work I do it all the time

GLD huh? great runs.

 

[SBstar]

Good looking runs MB! Congrats again on breaking down that 12's barrier, and with mid 12's none the less! Now let's talk about seeing some launches at the shootout!

 

[95talongirl]

It'll be coming on a trailer for the shootout. So, planning on it! ha!

11banger: Was more referring to work in general.. I work a job that'll have me out of town nearly 100% f the time and over weekends, so don't get a chance to play at the track very often. I have driven the car to work; heck even took it to Indy and back! It can be a pretty fun street car!

A little a bit faster and you will be in the top 100 on dsmtimes great job!!!!!!

Ahh yeah that blows but I understand. Being in the Army doesn't allow me any track time at all. But gotta make the $ to build cars
