Default Best new MPH!

I went to RCR last night and managed to hit my best mph ever.

Here is the breakdown:

60' 1.9517 :rolleyes: (street tires)
330' 5.2569
1/8 et 7.91.81
1/8 mph 91.79
1000 et 10.1861
1/4 et 12.0077
1/4 mph 120.54mph

I ran half a dozen similiar #'s.

Just couldn't get hooked up from the line too well.

Oh well there is always next week. :D

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I agree!
I have a set of et streets on "16 centerline rims.
I just want to get into the 11's on street tires.
Once I achieve that then... :reddevil



:cheers: 120. is alot of MPH :cheers:
Thanks and yes it is, as you well know.;)

I'm really considering a set of 3:90's at this point.

I need at least a 1.7 '60 on the street tires before I'll be happy.
