Default New best at the track

My previous best was like a 11.88 at 122. Decided to go the track since we finally made it in the 60s around here. Got down the track was hooking pretty good plus my burnouts were a lot better than usual.

I was able to get a 11.6 @121 out of her with a 1.80 60ft. If i was able to get a low 1.7 , i would be in business. However, i am sure i will be have to get off the line at 4k with some traction help. Most my runs are between 3000-3500.

If i was brave and good as Brent, Ranger, and J-rod as taking off the line real hard, i might could be able to get a high 10 out of her. :D

your set-up is very similar to mine (rwhp)...a set of DR will give you another .3 off ET and launching at 4500 rpm (or higher) will get into the low 11s...DR and a big-time burn out are all that is missing...

This runs was done on a BFG G-force dr's. I just need to get the tires heated up enough to withinstand launching at above 4k and a little courage. I busted my differential last year trying to do a burnout with the traction control accidently left on , in addition to, being too far away from the waterbox which probably set me in a area of extreme stickiness. :eek:
