Its gonna be tough. I dont think I've seen anyone squeek out a 12sec timeslip with such a low MPH. What was your 60' before?

Im thinking to pull off that kind of ET with 98mph trap you'd have to be well into the 1.5-1.6 60' range

3/10 is a lot of time to make up. I'm shooting for 12's myself in 3 weeks when the track opens back up. i only have to lose 0.06 sec
