Yeah, 120mph meant low 11's for everybody but me, the 12.x king. I've got about 300 timeslips to prove my point.

Not to steal a thread but what are the exact requirements for a convert then including different times?

My bad... For some reason I was thinking 8 point, not sure why. But yes 5pt is correct.

Looks like i got some improving to do then, When these tires wear out i might actually get a set of real tires. These were the most expensive since the snow tires that came with the car $60 all 4.

Any Kerry read Ecoli's post, 13.49 you need the roll bar, then the rest is the same as reg. cars.

We need to get some DSMs together to roll to the track next year. :bullrider:
And I plan on needing a trailer for the first time in 4 years.

Thats as bad as my awd running 12.2-11.4@130+mph a few years ago, haha.

Gotta love the fear of grenading everything at the line.

My wife probably has 4 or 5 12 second timeslips at 131mph with 2.1 or worse 60 foots from bad wheel hop. She was happy when she finally hit that 11.9 though.

You do not need a passenger side door bar until the 25.5 7.50@180 funny car cage, but its nice to have the passenger side bar for equal strength and looks. www.NHRA.com, or here for more info on the all elusive "D" bar and how and when (not needed for 5 point but 8 point they are needed) they need to be installed.

Its nice to see someone point out the roll bar/cage difference.
