Greetings!
This Sunday I took the old rice sled out and stepped in her ass. It was a wet day, and a cold day, so I didn't get what I would say 'optimal' results out of the track or the jug. 60' times were about .3-.5 too high but I was having to launch rather carefully to keep from spinning through 330' (no shit). I didn't have my heater hooked up, since we'd been having 70-80 degree days, and of course it was in the low 60s. The full tank of fuel didn't help either, but this wasn't a serious endeavor, just a little Sunday jaunt.
I won't bother scanning the slips, as they're not impressive enough for anybody to call BS (not even on this forum) but here's three runs (.042 Nitrous Jet/.040 Fuel Jet, Dry 80hp, pump gas, stock tire pressure, no powerbrake on launch, TCS off):
04/21/08 12:40PM
R/T .652
60' 2.400
330' 6.502
1/8th 9.828
MPH 74.47
04/21/08 12:44PM
R/T .491
60' 2.484
330' 6.650
1/8th 9.990
MPH 74.41
04/21/08 12:49PM
R/T .598
60' 2.367
330' 6.497
1/8th 9.834
MPH 74.46
You'll see the trap speeds are pretty consistent and respectable. Even with some really nasty launches I was still seeing 73mph+. Overall, and considering the gloom of the day, I think it went fine.
I'm convinced that a dry day (and the bottle heater) would lead the car into 9.4 territory at around 76-77mph.
I was supposed to have video, but my lady in the stands decided that since she didn't listen to me about how my camera worked, that she'd take cellphone vids and they'd be just as good. If it wasn't for the vagina I'd murder her in her sleep.
