Unhappy Still can't get a 12 sec time slip.

I ran two times last night and both were 13.0 @ 103
Reaction .049
60" 1.9
1/8 8.2
1/4 13.02
MPH 103.4

I can't seem to understand why I can't get any lower 60' time. I even slapped on the caltracs for yesterday's runs.

Look at it this way, your hitting constant
13.0's, that's bad *** File. You'll get there
eventually.

Are you dead-hooking?

It does not feel like I am spinning. However, people on the sideline tell me I am for the first several feet.

The sad part is I don't have the baby cam anymore. I now have a TR 220 on a 112 lsa. I am running some MT 26x11.5x16 @ 20 psi.

wow you would definately think that you would be in the 12's considering that you ran the same with the 212/218?? did you do the same weight reduction?? one thing I did find out yesterday though, that I found the sweet spot on my 26" e/t's @ 20psi, they were dead hooking off the line....

Okay then... I thought your MPH went up... Weren't you doing 100-101 before?

Hmmm... Did you play with the cal-trac settings? I don't know much about them but there's got to be a way to drop that 60'.

I heard there was a ricer event? Might of been holding back you guys' traction.
