Default weird looking slip

tried to go play last night in the 1/8th, but there was a mist blowing in the air, very humid, i dont think anyone was hooking up...

i probably shouldnt even post this, but its my first time in the 8's, so i will post. 60ft's sucked all night, couldnt hook, and spinning through second....

i was having to let off and hit it again, and i was spraying a 100 shot dry, still have the 3.23 gears and open diff


JFYI: notice e.t. at 594, the 1/8th e.t. ... our track is 594, so the traps grab your time and mph there, then computer advance it based on those figures to get the true 1/8th mile time, weird i know, but they took away a little track to give some shut down area.


be nice picking these apart i was proud of the 4.8

Strange setup that track operates but congrats on the new best anyway. Is there no 1/4 mile track within your reach?

there are a couple, but they are around 1.5 hours away.... i hate to drive that far to race, and then have to drive the same racetruck back..... it scarey's me.

i feel like its a solid 13 second truck now though. i just need to get to the 1/4 and prove myself correct.
