for the first time racing i thought i did ok. first run i ran a 15.5 at about 6:30....10:00 came around and i ran a 15 flat and would have beat the dakota r/t if he didn't jump the light. other than that i got beat by almost every muscle car there and a crummy VW Golf...i'm still scratchin' my head at that one. had a great time though.

 

a vw golf? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> man that sucks.
15.0 is not too shabby at all....
now all you need to do is get some goodies under that cowl!

 

well my slowass 235 tire spinnin 2.69 60ft ran a shitty 10.44 or something near that.

after that i parked it.

i think some tires would help the most
other than that i want to go mid/low 9s...
any ideas?

the air was really shitty too. several guys i know that run low 8s consistantly were running high 8s etc.

damn it still sucks on that time.

 

15.0s with the small amount of mods you have is DAMN good.

 

i thought 15.0's would be average for my truck, guess not. i was however hoping to break into the 14's and i think i can if i get a better reaction time (.980) and some cooler weather wouldn't hurt either. now it's time to invest in a few more horses and give it another go. thanks for the replies!

Your time doesn't start until you cross the line. So you could sit there an hour <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> and still run 15 flat. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

 

yeah uhh, i knew that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . thanks for the enlightenment red!

 

What was your 60', 330' 1/8th and 1/4 mph?
