Default Pb at atco last night
Last minute decision I decided to go up last night and try my new Hoosier 315/35/17 drag radials.First run was a break in run and test did a little burn out thinking they would hook way better then the bfg's I left at 2500 and spun hard but then hooked up ran 11.5 1.8 60 foot .2nd run I did long burnout and decided to leave off idle and ran my personal best at 11.1 1.53 3rd run crappy burnout so nervous it was gone to spin I left off idle again and ran 11.1 again .With a better launch I'll get my 10.99.Then I'll start spraying it .

Congrats and Godspeed on the 10.99 OP!

Caleb I actually heard the stronger the headwind, the faster you go as the car gets lighter from more lift/less downforce.
