Finally got this uploaded from October 2017. 12.54 @ 110mph uncorrected, at sea level this run may have been about 12.2 @ 112-113mph.
This was at Firebird Raceway in Boise, Idaho. One bummer is that it upshifted to 4th gear right before the traps, as I was testing smaller-diameter tires for the first time. If not for that late upshift, it might have been a scosche quicker/faster. I kept using the small-tire setup but with the shifter in "3" to prevent the upshift, it crosses the finish line a bit over 6000rpm. The car has never run this quick or fast again, it was total luck that we happened to capture the "record" pass on video, as we rarely have time to take video at the track.
One hour later it ran 12.604 @ 109.41mph as the temps were rising, more sun on the track, etc. In the past the car had run high 12.50's and high 109mph, but this was the only pass under 12.55 and the only one over 110mph. More typical at Firebird was 12.7-12.8 at 107-108mph. The weather has to be optimal (cool ambients AND also high barometric pressure) for best performance.
