Hi Moparmike, I was out there last friday for the MM and I guess I came too late and defintiely did'nt see you there. ( got in about 11pm ) For some reason my Apple won't play the quicktime video, but you say you ran low 15's and you were running fully stock? If I recall, it was propbably in the low 90's or so, do you recall? Reason I'm asking is I was hoping to hit high 13's (dreaming?) with the few mods I got. Are you running on the 26th? I'd love to do a MG with other charges before hand, but havent had much of a response from other forum groups. Maybe we'll get to line up next week? My friends tell me the hard part running the drag here at LVMS is that you can't set up who you run against, it's luck of the draw as you line up?

Thanks for the vid moparmike, it was nice to see the TB and Superbee run. It looked like a lot of fun.
What temps is it hitting there?

Blackie,
I ran about a month ago and got the daytona to run a 14.90 when it was 95 degrees out. Wednesday, we could only get a 15.70 and the temp was about the same. There was another charger there and he was running just about the same. The only thing I can think of is we were running a Pro Tree and I think that starts the clock as soon as it goes green. We were sleeping a little so ET's might be higher. Last time out we ran on a slower light that only measures ET's after you leave the line. I'd love to show up and run against you, just for fun. Let me know next time you go. I am considering this Friday for midnight mayhem, I'll post if I decide to go.
Mike

Moparmike, it definitely seemed that most people blew it on the start, as the tree lights up pretty quick. I think I have it down though...correct me if I'm wrong but
1) forward slowly, one top white light- move forward more, two top lights froward a little , one bottom light just past the mark, two bottom too far.
2)Once both hit the spot, 1/2 sec before the white tree lights, then Green! ( dont forget to put her in 1st after backing & close windows....... )
Do you suggest keeping the front tires out of the water to keep the steering? Were you running with the ESP on or off? Do you have a SC and if so, what OCT setting? I'm definitely running next MM, the 26th, isn't it ( week from tomorrow? ), it'd be great to meet a couple of other charger owners and compare notes.....

Your pretty close about the lights. The white staging light at the top tells you where to line up. You roll up slowly until the first (very top) light comes on. Then roll alittle more, like a inch or two, and the white light below that will come on. "STOP RIGHT THERE". Push hard on the brake and give her gas. On a pro tree, as soon as you see yellow... GO. On the slower tree, Wait till the last yellow turns on and GO. Don't wait till you see green lights. By the time you car gets it's lazy self to move, the lights been green for a long time. Now remember there is the pro tree which flashes the 3 yellows at the same time very fast and then it goes green and there is the other light which flash the 3 yellows in sequence then the green. I'l try to go out on the 25th but I might be back to work. My daytona is all stock. No mods yet. My supercharger is on the way but I figure another month before I put it on. It's to hot now.

Nice runs Mike I am sure with different air and Alt. time would be faster or slower.Can you tell me what your 1000' or 1/8 mile time was in the charger? What was the time in the B?

Thanks for the Vid Mike, were you and your wife braketting the start? If not.. ::cough:: Kinda looked to me like she spanked ya more times than not. 
15.7... multiple runs.. no electric fan to electric water pump between runs.. I'd call that respectable, though even stock I would have expected you to be closer to the 15 second line one way or another. Like you said the tree would have alot to do with it.. and lets face facts.. anyone to face the tree and your wife on their right side.. may do far worse than 15.7. 
Some folks cannot remember back to the fully stock settings including exhaust.. no cai.. no chip or flashpaq. They don't remember what an improvement in excelleration occured after their I & II Mods. They are not taking into account the tire size.. temperature and traction issues of the stock tires.. so..
I doubt your all to worried about what Mapson or other think.. and I'd kiss someone's tail pipe and let them have 30 minutes to draw a crowd.. if they can get 13.1 out of a stock Daytona.. its not really 350 horse to the ground after all..
Before the howls begin.. I adore my Daytona and know the track.. and thats all I got to say about that..
