We were the quickest pass of the day (with the exception of a rail car) even with all that stiff competition and having to get out of it around the 1000' mark ;) The track was in less than favorable condition as can be seen by our first few runs. Did I mention we drove this car to and from Turbotrix the day before?

60' ~ 1.34
1/8 ~ 5.60 @ 126
1/4 ~ 8.81 @ 138

What kind of 60' was it pulling? Did you run in the Quick 16?

What did Kiggly run?

I am pretty sure the 60' was a 1.3x on the 8sec pass.

Kiggly ran an 8.9x.

Everyone said the track was complete horse shit and that nothing was hooking worth a damn.

Good job, but is the car down on power a bit? Even if you let of at the last second I would have thought you would have trapped a bit higher than 138. Looks to me like the 60' had to be in the 1.3/1.4 range. Great job though, the car seemed to hooked and stay straight for most of the run.

You can lose a lot of mph quick when you let off though. ET might not change much when do let off at the top on the track, but mph can go down a lot.

Yeah I guess, but when you did it you let off like 3/4 track or sooner, I might be missing something but it looks like he let off like 50ft before the traps. Wait now it looks like he might have hit the breaks a bit too, hard to tell.

60' 1.34
1/8th 5.60 @ 126

We didn't run in the Q16 as we wouldn't have been competitve with reaction time as a factor, as you can see it takes a few seconds to get on the converter. In regards to power we turned it back to 40psi (~850whp) based on the traction issues, but the trap speed in the 1/4 was definitely affected when I got out of it top end. Apparently mph is determined between the 1000' and 1/4 mile markers. I hate to bench race but I think it has a sub 8.50 @ 160ish in it even at it's current power level...

Do you use a trans brake, or is there anything you could do to "get on the converter" sooner?
