Shooting for 295 to 305 what ever i can keep under fenders. Car is in 600 range at this point to the tires. Well be shooting for 800s next year.

I did a 9.72 on a 18” mt street r and I have 834 to the wheels. With a 1.65 60 foot. And the track isn’t the best, or worse. There’s guys in the 8s but it’s rare. Track has the be the best prepared and you have to peddle your car. I didn’t just step on it. I had to roll in and peddle it. AND I used track bite it’s a must
