Default Just got back from the strip....

Gotta say, I'm not exactly happy with my new times:

Last Year:
15.1 @ 92
13.6 @ 101 on a 100 shot

Mods done since then are limited, 3.42s ---> 4.10s, and I sold the 20s for some 17s

Last Night
15.3 @ 88
13.6 @ 103 on a 100 shot


It was about 25 degrees hotter this time out, and there was a real strong head-wind so maybe that accounts for something. My 60', 1/8th ET, and 1/8th MPH were the exact same last night as they were last year.

I tried spraying a 125 shot about 4 times, every run I spun through first gear, got a couple 13.8s and a 14.0

I need convertor & slicks
