Seems like you were on pace to run around a 12.7 in the 1/4. As for the 60' what tires are you using? On a street tire with practice you should be able to get that 2.1 down to the 1.8 range. That should be good for around a 12.3 in the 1/4 for you.

+1 on the mid 12s. I have found that some 1/8 mile tracks do not have the track prep that some of the better 1/4 mile tracks. At my home 1/8 mile track I was running 8.2-8.3 @ 90 with consistent 2.0 60' times, but on an NHRA track that was prepared well I cut a 7.8 @ 92 MPH. That was with a 1.8 60' time which ought to give you an idea of what you can do if you can get your 60' down to the 1.7-1.8 range. Only you can judge the DA and other factors of the track you are running but you might just get on a well prepped 1/4 mile track and cut a 12.40 @ around 110. On the other hand you could find your 1/8 mile track is better prepped than the nearby 1/4 mile tracks. You got .3-.4 to gain on that 60' and you will be tough.

For every 1/10th you can cut off your 60' you should pick up 2/10ths in your ET......at least that is typically the way mine performs.. THis weekend I had a 1.43 60' and a 6.61 @ 105 on a 150 shot. Changed to 125 shot and got 1.55 60' with a 6.93 @ 101....Its not exact of course but your 60' is EVERYTHING when your running just an 1/8...What tire you running? M/T et streets will HOOK UP!!!!!!!! 17" though
