Default Am I Trapping too low?

I went out this past weekend to Lodi Ca. Kingdon Airport turns into a drag strip 2 times a year. Are my trap speeds too low?? looking around at others running about the same ET my trap speeds look low?

Car is an 07 Z06 with a Borla Attak, Halltech KB, and Hoosier DRs (275/40/17). Everything else is stock.

Weather was probably about 90* during my runs. No 60Ft times provided.

11.402 @ 120.87(Saturday) - Decent launch -
11.589@120.44(Saturday) - Spun off the line a bit
11.663@115.17 (Sunday) - Spun off the line a bit more

I made another two passes, spun hard to 11.9s

Now keep in mind that this is an airport, they prepped it with some VHT and laid down some rubber with some of the big tire dragsters.

My 2016 ZO6 ran 11.27 at 124mph so I think your times are about right.

Most dedicated drag strips collect MPH data from @ 66 feet before and after the finish line to record your fastest time.
This is probably why the #s seem low to you.

What is you 60ft time plus by what you are saying here track prep was bad off the line. But also what was the cars RPM out of the hole.

But if track had bad prep off line, about in line for the cars mods. Robert

I didnt know some of you guys were out there. Dont put up too much hope on that track. Remember its an airport before a race track. Its not going to be like going to Sac raceway. I have been worried how they have been setting things up the past few years. The amount of people is good but food and seating sucks now.

Better get your races in. Sacramento Raceway's, like a number of other tracks across the country, days are numbered.
