Default New Best MPH

I went to Carolina Dragway last night for the test and tune. This track is known as the “house of hook” and is normally prepared very well, although last night, for some reason there was very little traction. I could only manage 1.42 and 1.44 60 ft times and 10.21 and 10.22 ET’s. However, I set a new personal best mph in the 1/8 of 106.80 and 135.01 in the 1/4.

Danny,
Your times are fantastic. We will meet up at a track soon and you'll tell me your secrets.
It's a little cool for really good traction, but the MPH say the ET's will be there.
Joe

I'm glad your happy with the combo Danny, 135 is pretty stout for a hyd cam pump gas motor.

Where is the Carolina Dragway Located? I'm from Asheville but frequently visit the Goldsboro area for the Air Force Reserves.

Thank! I found them on the web after I ask the question. It's about 130 miles from me, I'll probably try the street fights at Bristol once they get the launch pad repaired.

The Carolina Corvette Challenge has been held at Carolina Dragway for the past few years but this year the events are held at Darlington Dragway in Darlington, SC. In fact, there is a challenge this weekend. You should try to make it. BTW, I'm only about 1.5 hours from Bristol.
