New Best ET (again) - 11.67 @ 119.79 mph

[GrandSportC3]

decided to go racing today because it was the coolest day of the season and I wanted to take advantage of the cooler weather... The temperatures were in the upper 50's when I got my passes in...
I only made 3 passes... My oil was still cold on the first pass.. so I only ran 11.918 @ 119.01 mph. I also spun the tires at launch.. but that happened on all 3 passes today but I still got decent 60' times...
Here are my 3 passes:

1st pass: (against a supercharged 5.0 Mustang on Slicks that ran 11.99). I won!

60'.....1.698
330'...5.069
1/8....7.740
mph...93.33
1000..10.026
1/4....11.918
mph...119.01

2nd pass (against the same Mustang) He ran 11.95 this time... I won again

60'....1.745 (bad tire spin)
330'..5.062
1/8...7.677
mph...94.78 (new best)
1000..9.930
1/4....11.803
mph...119.87 (new best)

3rd and final pass (against a big block Chevelle with a nitrous shot ) - I lost.. but only by .4608

60'....1.643 (still tire spin but not as bad a earlier)
330'...4.924
1/8...7.540 (new best)
mph...94.13
1000..9.794
1/4....11.670 (new best)
mph..119.79

Great times.

Now you've just got to get that traction issue under control. I don't know how it is in FL. but here in KS our traction goes away in the cold temps due to the track not getting enough heat in it.

That's what might have happened...

However - I raced in even colder temps last year with DRAG RADIALS and got 1.591 - 1.63 60' times...

Hi grandsport, great looking car. Would you mind sharing your engine combo if you don't mind. Is your IRS stock, or modified?
