Default Races Friday night

Well, I took my car to the races Friday night to see what she would do, after the nitrous install. This is with A4 stock gears & General stock tires. Window switch...on @3000 off @6000. I think if I had some better tires I might get in the 11's.
Let me know what you think of these numbers. I am the 12.3 not 11's.

What shot did you use? With that trap speed you should be able to do a mid-high 11 if you launch really hard off the nitrous. You need to get your 60' down into the 1.8/1.7 range with some sticky tires. I use to use MT ET streets but I hear the MT drag radials are suppose to be really good.

Good time considering the 60', very nice trap speed, I did 12.3 @ 117 on a 2.0 60' NA.

CountyLine Dragway is operating in Miami. It is an 1/8 mile. Many of the members of the Corvette Challenge ( Moroso ) will be there this Saturday night.

Not a bad ET. Would be interesting to see what you could do with the better tires.
