I had a pretty good couple weeks. As I mentioned in the thread In Search of 9’s, I got into the 9’s 3 weeks ago.

Adrenalein Rush (AR) got me started on drag racing, but only after getting me into Land Speed Trials. AR did a thread (on the “other” forum) in July 2021 after he did 203.7 in the 1.5mi in his lightly modded 2019 Charger (non-RE). He is local and I contacted him. He was extremely helpful and I attended the next event held in Sept ’21 and got the M6 to 173+ in the 1mi. Before attending the event I had never driven over about 120. It was a great thrill. In subsequent events I got the M6 to 185 in the 1.5mi.
In 2023 the stock RE hit 191 in the 1.5mi. While that might seem fast, in 2024 a local took a 2015 stock HC to 190 in the 1.5mi! (I blame newer software avoiding COT.)
Spring 2024 I added the DC S2 but at LTA it puked at about 120 for a few sec. Best was 195 in the 1.5. The dealer relaced 2 injectors but I had to wait until this week to try again.
This past Monday morning, perfect conditions. Cool with perfect tailwind of 8mph gusting to 15. First run I was too heavy on the gas for the over inflated tires and slipped all over the place until about 100. Speedo said 202 as I went through the 1.5. Ticket said 204.512!!!
After a cooldown, I tried again, very little slip. About one sec before the finish there was a power loss. Speedo was still 202. I figured I hit the speed limiter and had a poor run. Because this was a small event they took shortcuts and I could not immediately get my ticket. I didn’t see the ticket until Tues and it was 204.980! Had I known I was so close to 205 on Monday, I would have tried a slower start and try for 205. But I can’t complain about 204, hell, my goal was 200!
