Why don’t you just leave it in drive

Because it literally shifts even shorter than I do. I'm not a saint but I can usually at least carry it out somewhere over 6000

I was faster at 131 but not by much. I think the prep was easily equivalent at my level and plenty of cars beat their 131 times today as well.
A lot of the faster cars starting off at Milan were loose or spinning. May have been cooler when they started there then 131 but neither had sun on the track at the start. The kid that does the prep at 131 is hired all over the country to do prep at different races. From what I saw 131 was hooking from the start where the rest were not as good to start

Nice thing for most of us is we don't need the prep the real fast cars do. I have run high 10s on 20" nittos

Good luck on your last day

Somehow we picked up 1 spot on day 4.

We're now sitting in 5th place starting Day 5. We run first at 10am (Top 40 in SME) so we can finalize the bracket for the afternoon.

I just actually checked the logs real quick and it's making right at 16-16.5 peak.

Also got 2000rpm to hold testing in the pits. 2100 is like 90% there. 1900 is what I've been leaving at.

Regardless of what happens from here on out I have officially completed hot rod drag week 2024. With an overall average of 10.2296 at 137.278 mph. Four tracks in 5 days and almost 900 Mi of Street driving and this car has been practically dead nuts all week.

They are going to run a and b classes now and then C-Class. Then the first round of the stick shift shootout and then the first round of eliminations for Street Machine Eliminator. I should hold on to my number five seed all things being equal.

My first pass was a 10.22 at 137 so I went back around and set launch control at 2100 which held and the 60 ft improved slightly but the car tapered off to a 10.25 at 136 and change. I will likely dial it back and just run it as-is.

All lined up for round one of SME eliminations.

I drew a Whipple 5.0 Mustang on a 10.61 dial...my average dictated a 10.12 dial so we get to play catch-up

Loaded up and we're heading home. Got a long drive and a long couple days ahead of me.

Definitely doing it again next year.

The absolutely insane part about all these runs this week is I crossed the scales at Milan... half tank of fuel or just slightly under with the tablet and mount in the car, myself, all of my gear, the subwoofer and a bunch of crap in the trunk...

At...

4875!

This is a great thread! There is nothing better that seeing someone actually utilizing their HC and getting tbe most out of it! It is a shot in the head telling us we have cars that can do this but only if we get off our ass and make the effort. You have earned hero status! Maybe we need a Hero of the Month award! Thanks for sharing the experience and photos!

This is legit no lie...lol accurate AF.

My buddy took probably over 2,000 photographs during the week. I'll see if I can get the GoPro footage dumped to a flash drive so I can post that in a public place.

Also I'm just a hoodrat out there trying to do Hoodrat shit with my hoodrat friends...but thanks for the kind words.

Maybe we should try to organize a Hellcat contingent whether anyone races or just simply runs along with the drag pack portion.
