Guess who is in the 12 sec CLUB!!!

[07CaliGTStang]

Went to MIR today for their TnT. John and I usually don't travel that far to race, BUT I needed to get that 12 sec timeslip before the season was over, and I knew I wasn't going to get it at Mason Dixon.

As some of you know, I recently put in my 4.10 gears. I also bought 275/40-17 Mickey Thompsons. Perfect combo to go with my set up.

First one was my nervousness run. Pulled off a 1.83 60ft. and ran a 13.1 at 104MPH. Pulled off a personal best with that one. I knew it was going to be a good day after that. The track felt great and the car was running strong.

Went back to the pits. Checked my tire pressure and saw it was running a little high so I lowered it to 18. Why I did that, I don't know. If it ain't broke don't fix it right?!!!

My next 2 runs were shit. 13.2 at 103MPH and 13.5 at 99MPH(missed 4th gear). I was bogging a bit off the line so after those 2 runs I knew I shouldn't have touched the damn tire pressure after the first run. Put the tire pressure up to 22psi.

Waited for a good hour or so because they were doing that gambler's run crap. Meanwhile, john got tired of waiting so he swapped his street tires back on. He was done for the day. Finally called us back up to the lanes. IT"S GO TIME!

Did a nice smokey burn out and then dumped the clutch at 5500rpm. The run felt great! Got a 12.98 at 103MPH with a 1.79 60ft. I WAS STOKED!!! I had to check the ticket 3 more times to make sure it was me. Came back to the pits with a shit eating grin on my face and John knew I had it. I accomplished my goal. In the 12 second club!!!


Thank you everyone for the awesome advice and support. I am finished for the year. Hoping next year I can continue to fine tune it and continue improving.

Wow, way to hang with it. Simply put, that is fucking awesome! Congrats.

[ArtQ]

Way to go Laura....No small feat!!

[07CaliGTStang]

Thanks everyone! This shit is down right addicting. I am sitting here telling John I am ready for the next step! Golly, what did I get myself into? LOL

[ArtQ]

OH Yeah! Crack aint nothing compared to this stuff......I think??

[chad05gt]

Congrats!!!

Awesome Job! I knew you could do it. Seat time can't be bought.

Get the check book ready; it gets expensive from here.

Hmmm, I wonder what she could have done with a REAL tune????;)

[2k05gt]

John, she is catching up to you real quick.. You'd better watch out...:qd:

[boss281]

Five tenths. Gosh, now I'll have to take off the blindfold while running the quarter mile and actually try...

[07CaliGTStang]

Thanks everyone. Definitely an exciting day. And I think a FEW of you need to watch out! I am awfully close to some of you all.......hehehehe. All in fun though.


I have more plans for the car. But as for right now, she is going into hibernation. When the season breaks next year, back out there with my current mods to continue to improve with what I got.

[boss281]

Yep, wink, wink, hibernation....no more mods right...wink...

[07CaliGTStang]

Lol, I'll wink at you if you don't cut it out! Punk!

I never said NO to more mods. They will just have to wait to go on.............we have plenty of room to pile up on car parts!

[MarcSpaz]

You two are too funny.

So, is that Christmas wish list gonna tune into a purchase order? LOL

[07CaliGTStang]

Let's just say the Xmas list has increased a bit since Sunday....................

You have got to get that posted on the TimeSlips Datebase..That will make it Official....:3rd:

Congratulations....

John bought some time w/ her going 4.10's... he would have freaked biscuits if she'd gotten 4.30's ;)

[MarcSpaz]

I cut my best 60' on my 4.10's. The 4.56's made me a bit slower.
