Getting close to the 10s
I was pretty close this week in less than ideal conditions. I ran an 11.14@121.94 with a 1.53 60ft. Im not sure of the temp but it was in the 80s I think. The DA ranged from 3,000-3400 all day and the humidity was way up there as it rained later in the day. I read in the drag racing section that another member went back to the same track the next day when it was cooler and gain 3 tenths. I guess that would have been a potential 10.8 run in some slightly cooler air. Oh and here is the best or worse part, that would have been a real low 11 second run but I hit the rev limiter just a little in first cause i was staring at the 1.53 on the board:bb . Cartek built one hell of a car, I just hope I can drive it to its full potential. If somebody knows the exact weather conditions of last saturdays challenge please feel free to chime in.
