Going to the drags tonight

Well this will be the first time bringing the Cooper to the track. Not really sure what to expect for times but will give it a shot anyway.
If anyone from the New England area want to meet up there I will be a New England Dragway in Epping NH..
I will post later on how I do..

Well I am back from the track with some timeslips. I made trhee passes and on my second pass my service engine soon light came on, and is still on..:BangHead: I will have to get that checked out tomorrow after work and see what the code is.
Anyway on to the times..............
My first pass was a 14.481 at 96.99, my second pass and the one that the SES light came on was a 14.449 at 97.69.
After about an hour of cool down time I made my third and final pass and it looked like this;
60'.....2.393
330....6.220
1/8....9.362
MPH...77.75
1000...12.083
1/4.....14.390
MPH....99.22
Overall I am pretty happy, it was a good time and I got to hang out with a few friends that I met there.

Good runs.

I might want to change mine to 17% pulley soon.

Thanks, I will be trying for 13's before long. I just put in the UniChip last night, ordered a Alta Header and a colder set of the NGK plugs. Now I just will need to find someone to re-flash the uniChip for the correct mods that I will have. Then after that I think a better clutch, light weight flywheel, and some sticky tires should put me into the 13's pretty firmly.
A couple pics from Wednesday at the track..
